A Good Old Ride

When the rain showed signs of stopping at around 4:15pm, Renee told me happily "mommy, the rain has stopped!". After quickly getting the balance ingredients into the soup and getting ourselves ready, we left home at around 5pm. This time round, the 'walk' to the LRT station had not seemed as long as before and Renee was even keen to take the train back home, hahaha.

I took the opportunity to ask her if she'd be ok with the walk if it's gonna be a daily affair when we go to and back from her school and if so, we could resume schooling with the pre-school, she didn't really answer that though, hahaha.

In the train, the minute it moves off, Renee exclaimed "Oooh, hahaha, Oooh hahaha", soo funny! She was like soo 'sua gu' that a young man sitting opposite couldn't contain himself and laughed... This reaction had been sooo different from her very 1st train ride when she had been alittle afraid, but then again, she was much younger then, :D.

I've earlier asked daddy the time he would be able to meet us at the mall, but not wanting to depend on the answer, I decided to bring Renee to have her dinner first. Without saying, to let her have a 'proper' meal, I have to bring her to the foodcourt, where she could have her favourite CharSiew + Roast Duck Rice. It was past 6:30pm and this foodcourt, as usual, began to jam up with human crowd. I spotted a table but when I reached it, a young boy irritatingly dashed to it. I was stunned, geez, I'm with a young child and you have to snatch it from us? Doesn't he has any sense of social grace nor even the courtesy to let me have it especially when I was already approaching and near it. Anyway, I believe that one will get better 'ending' when one's wronged/cheated/bullied and true enough, we found a BETTER table, :). It was also very near the stall and so, I told Renee to stay seated there and went to get her the food and when I've just returned to the table, daddy text to say that he'd be late and we're to dine on our own and pack some back for him. I wasn't feeling hungry due to the late lunch and thought that since I can't go around to look for what I'd have for dinner, I told him I'd pack mine together with his. However, after feeding Renee for a while, she asked to self-feed and that's when I suddenly felt like going for some dessert. There was only 1 pax left when I checked the stall out and I thought I could make a quick buy and told Renee so. It was a bad decision! 'Cos although our table area was within my sight, but Renee, being sooo small, was not quite visible to me. Well, it was still alright actually had the lady not deliberately taken her own sweet time to fix up even a bowl of dessert! All the time I was waiting for my bowl of dessert, my heart was thumping hard with anxiety and when I finally got my order(needless to say, a long que had formed by now), she must have seen the look of frustrations on my face that she gave me very very little of the ingredients, aiyoh, what's wrong with these aunties ar?! Why do they choose to work in such speed demand places when they want to take their time to do things?('cos it's very obvious they're not slow due to age) Simply cannot understand...

When we got home and had finished our dinner, daddy said that he's going to transfer some of his stuffs to the new S60(yes, he's finally collected it today) and I suggested that perhaps I should also give it a test drive. When I got to the car, I realised that it's not that 'big' after all and what made me felt that it was earlier, I dunno, hahaha. Perhaps it was the lighting of the showroom or could I have compared it to the C4, which then of cos would make it so... Anyway, daddy felt that I should be getting myself familiarised with driving the audi instead but that one is really one that I don't wish to, partly becos its body's much longer and wider than what I'm used to, 2ndly, I wouldn't want to cause any delay or price reduction to its sale if I should cause it any scratches... Pressurised man! But daddy said that he doesn't want to choke up the mileage of the A6 anymore and if I were to drive the volvo, he'd have to take the A6 and thus, I test drove the Audi just now...

After driving a few rounds + up and down the carpark to familarise myself with the accelerator power/speed and turning radius, I suggested driving out to the road and when we came back, daddy said I'm to drive it out to the dinner place tomorrow evening, oh no!

During the test drive, I found that the steering was really very light and daddy said that it's because the actually, the citroen's very heavy, hahaha. Oh, I didn't know and when I made the 'infamous' U-turn to our place, I realised that he's right, 'cos with this audi's, it was pretty effortless for one to guide the steering back quickly. All in all, the test drive was still ok but then again, the main purpose of me wanting to drive either of the car was because I knew daddy will surely want to go for his golf game this Sunday since there're still 2 cars now and the path to the carpark at Ms Mok's is super super narrow, even daddy had to drive verrry slowly there and I'm really afraid that I might scratch his car... Oh no please no! *crossing fingers*
