today i woke up at 4pm to loud doorbell noises, and was pleasantly surprised by several registered mail packages, filled with my single indulgence, umm, lingerie. more exciting than proper clothes, and enough to last the year, i suppose. i did the perfectly normal thing, i.e. tied up my messy bed-hair, drew the curtains shut, and tried every single item on and it made me so happy, happy enough to twirl in front of the mirror like it's the most normal thing in the world. it's silly how things like pretty underwear excite me, and make me feel so much better instantly.
i'm starting to hate driving lessons-- i'm a dangerous driver because i'm hopeless at controlling the steering wheel and i keep reversing too quickly. yesterday i swerved across two lanes after a huge right turn, because i was afraid to release the wheel quickly. thank goodness each time i do something stupid, the road happens to be clear and nothing serious happens. i don't think i'll ever get over my fear of driving in crowded places, and negotiating scary bends at high speeds, and well, crashing into bus stops (i swear, the article in the newspaper on the freakish bus stop crash is A SIGN, it could happen to me). i'm also a lane wobbler; i keep jerking the wheel suddenly because i find it hard to stay in the middle of lanes and to judge whether i'm headed perfectly straight. i'm also starting to hate people who run across the street at non-designated crossings, because it makes me feel uneasy and i have to slow down suddenly to avoid killing them. overtaking is also annoying, buses are annoying, and taxis are impatient. i'm driving at 60km/h presently. it's a bit frustrating because i keep having to slow down at bends and when i'm making turns-- i don't think i'll ever get to 80km/h at this rate, and i'm dreading expressway lessons.
i've been eating chicken rice nonstop over the past 2 hours, and i also had like, 2 litres of fresh, cold banana milkshake. i love bananas, they're quite possibly the only fruit i eat out of my own free will and choice.
