• Driving Test.

  
  

  I woke up this morning with this churning feeling in my stomach. I hear cars from outside my window, but it’s not the sound that I expect them to make. Sounded a little ‘splashy’ a little more ‘water’ than usual. I thought to myself in my half-awaken state that maybe it’s just my luck that it’s raining…

  
  

  For God’s sake, I can’t even work the windshield wippers properly!

  
  

  Scared to approach the window to see the condition that I’m going to be tested in, I decided to get myself ready and step to the window last. I was standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom, brushing my teeth — until I could hold it no more.

  
  

  WEATHER, surprise me, captivate me!

  
  

  Oh. It did. It snowed last night/morning. Maybe not as much as NY’s snowfall, but a few good inches of slippery snow. Damn. Just my luck.

  
  

  I am finally getting my G2 today around 12 o’clock at Morningside. It’s about time that I do so, I’ve had my G1 for about 3 years now, but mind you, I hate driving.

  
  

  I’ll keep you guys posted.

  I passed!

  
  

  
  A Chinese man that talks broken but fast English with a harsh tone saying phrases like, “What are you doing?!”, “Watch where you’re going”, “GO!”, “You are unfamiliar with back-ins!”, “You’re not safe enough” still passed me. It’s an asian thing I tell ya.

  
  

  Nonetheless, it was a scary and traumatizing experience. My heart still pumped after an hour or so. I don’t think i’ll ever drive again.

  My Grandma watches Mr.Bean!!! When she whipped out the box DVD set of Mr.Bean, my face just scrunched up like this: , all puzzled by her following remarks:

  
  

  “Watch it, (insert ‘Mr.Bean’ in chinese if there IS such thing) is very funny! I used to watch it all the time in Hong Kong, but in black and white though, but it’s really funny!!”

  
  

  Wow. I never knew Mr.Bean had black and white versions. (??) and I also didn’t know my grandma was so up with the pop culture!!

  
  

  This leads me to think that I have the coolest grandma: one that does Tai Chi and watches Mr.Bean all day long!

  My boyfriend is the best. Eventhough it didn’t come on time, at least I got some V-day flowers when I didn’t ask for them. I like flowers in general, so it doesn’t have to be roses all the time. Daisies are nice too, like these ones!

  
  

  (For “You’ve Got Mail” fans, you know why ‘Daisies’ are so sweet…)
