steering-wheel happy!

i just went for my first out-of-circuit driving lesson and like the previous auto lesson, it was AWWWEESOME.
i really do love driving, love love love it! HAHAHA.
i felt so..HAPPY!
hahahaha and i still feel HAPPY! i caaaaan't wait to GET MY LICENSE (oh please kallynn poon dont let yourself down and fail ftt/practical, please?)!
:D
when i first got into the car, i was a WEE bit scared, cus the instructor looked..i don't know, slightly questionable/suspicious/dubious. he had that whole balding-potbelly-nicotinestainedteeth- kinda look, you know? and he was like, "the first time driving out ah? sure you can drive anot. if cannot i'll shout at you one ah."
to which, i was like," erhh. i think can lah. but don't shout at me," followed with that fake laughter audrey and i were just talking about earlier on over lunch.
but it turned out he was just a nice, patient and misunderstood instructor that had a thing for mints.( throughout the 1 hour plus lesson, he finished an entire tube of halls strong mint.)
(((: i've been lucky. the manual instructors were rather moody when i had lessons. or maybe cus i kinda sucked at it. HAHAHAH. yay auto!

OH WELL.
it's kinda sad, cus driving seems to be the only thing that gets me excited and remotely happy-crazy nowadays. tsk tsk, i'm becoming a little too subdued. i hope when everything settles down a little bit more (and when i get to finally exhale), i'd get back to having fun and actually being some fun myself.

so, i just found out, another five years of china and work for my dad.
therefore, another five years of shuttling between us and him for my mum.
another five years of year end shanghai trips.
wow.
it's hard to imagine. i'd like to reckon it's gonna be a lot like the five years that just passed, but then i realised, life's not on replay. things are gonna change, people are gonna grow old, and i'm scared now. i'm not complaining, it's part of our lives we've accepted, but it's just scary, you know? i've always had the vague idea that he'd retire within the next few years. i never expected this to happen, i never thought another five years or more was in order.
hm.
by the time five years' up, i'd be 24 and ming 22.
wow.
hahaha.
another 5 more years after the next five years, ming would be getting married, if things go according to his plans.
hahaha. whereas, unlike my baby brother (who had his plans for marriage and children all well thought out by the time he was 9), i have no concrete plans as to when i'm gonna get hitched and have kids. i'll do it when the right one comes along, i don't care how old.
