I wanted to put up an entry about my driving license, but I missed the anniversary date. Anyway, better late than never. So here it is, my license after acquiring it for 10 years! Woohoo!! Got prize or not? Clean record, you know :p

I became the, er, good daughter by sending my dad to Johor for a massage. There is a massuer that he and my uncle comfortable with. Since hubby can't be the driver for valid reasons, I left the kids with him and drove my parents across the causeway.

Over there, I met with my uncle's family. My cousin, Zila, and I were asked to run an errand. She's got her driving license a few months back but she asked me to drive for that errand. Ooookaay. No problem. With confident, I started the engine, switched on the aircon, shifted my seat, checked the rear-view mirror, all ready, pressed brake, released hand-brake, shifted the gear to reverse to move. Crrrrraaaaaaaannnnkkkkk! Engine stalled.

Huh? What happened??? Zila laughed and pointed to my relaxed left foot on the floor. The clutch! I didn't press the clutch!!! How could I forgot the clutch?? Duh!

That's what driving an auto car for two years do to me. Pampered. Tsk tsk tsk. 10 years with driving license and yet I can forget the very basic rule. Tsk tsk tsk.

Ok on to a discovery :) You know where Jamie Oliver gets herbs for his cookings? His mom's place. You know where I can get herbs for my cookings? My mom's place! Haha. I just discovered that she has basil, oregano, bay and other stuffs in her garden (er, common corridor lah). Isn't that cool? :D



Ok, the end :p

  2. U know what? I have never driven an auto before and all this while only manual for me. Driving manual is real driving and keeps you even more alert on the roads because of the constant need to shift gears.
