Back to the Real World, hunny!

Yup. I'm back in Lafayette, Indiana. Back to the real life. My 2 hours and 45 minutes drive from Ohio back to Indiana accompanied by Westlife's new album, my favourite Korean songs, and occasional bouts of snow and flurries was smooth, thank God. Nothing bad happened. I even managed to make a stop to the grocery store and get some fresh groceries before coming back to my apartment. BT aren't you proud of me? I surpassed what you expected of me! :)

Before leaving for Indiana, I drove the brother back to Miami with Dong sitting in the front passenger seat. The brother isn't too nervous with my driving. Dong on the other hand, gets a nervous fit whenever I drive. He has criticisms for every "road-move" I make: "Your turn is too wide! It's dangerous!" "Why are you slowing down for the green light? That's dangerous!" "Don't look in the opposite direction too long when you're turning. You should be looking in the same direction as your turn!" "At the red light, remember to stop and check for cars before you turn right!" "Do you check your speed when you're driving? Make sure you check it often and don't go past the speed limit!" and the list goes on... sigh.

Aish. My driving really isn't all that bad! My friends don't really have any qualms about me driving! Plus it's not like I'm all that new of a driver. Tsk tsk. What is it about guys thinking that they're always better drivers than girls? Well maybe they are, but some of us girls aren't all that bad of drivers!! Then he tells me: "For as long as I'm around, you're not driving. It's too scary!" Guys always over-exaggerate our supposedly horrible driving skills!!!! Then when I explain why I slowed down even though it was a green light because we're supposed to slow down since traffic from the left side of that road is also green and since I'm turning, I'm supposed to see if there's cars from the left side yada yada (I sounded so confident too!)... he tells me "No! It's only for oncoming traffic that you have to look out for. It's only when there's oncoming traffic and you want to turn across that oncoming traffic that you have to wait for the oncoming traffic to clear and then turn! Oncoming traffic only!" My reply sheepishly, "Oh, it's green light for us and only oncoming traffic? Not for other directions, only oncoming traffic?! Ya hor.. I should know this!" Then he says "This is why 52% of men think that they're smarter than women. And this is why 90% of that 52% really are smarter than women!" Hmph.. we heard this on the news a few days ago and he's been using it against me ever since! Since I'm famous for making silly bimbo comments without thinking. 


After my "clever" demonstration of US driving rules... he says, "You always make me worry about you! You know that! Bodoh!"
