Car = ?

Today's Guofeng's birthday. We certainly have had a great lunch at Seoul Garden Ang Mo Kio. Hanjun, Gan, Guofeng, me. Robert went for a play with "Fatimah". We had a fun and quality conversation. Our topic of the day was CARS...

Well, Gan is gleefully driving in his SLK. However he couldn't resist checking out the cool BMW convertable (high perfomance, but high maintenance). Robert is a happy man, who settles for a Proton Wira (Malay model), after meeting with an accident a year back, crashing the old looking model. Hanjun just got his hands on a Nissan Cerfiro, and is obviously contented with it. He never got to drive all these years. Guofeng admited that he is not craved out for driving though, even after few attempts to get one. He would carry on taking public transport for the moment. Me? Hrmmm.. I currently shared the bus with Guofeng. I concluded I'm not suited to drive my previous Mountain Jeep, even when I really adore the car alot. The jeep defeated its very own purpose as I drove it on the expressways when it was meant for the rocky mountaineous paths. I realised that I couldn't even co-ordinate the accelerator and brakes well. I had jumped into the car too quickly, and decided on it without much hesitation. Sometimes, you really have to do a research on the car that you are eyeing on. Now that I'm travelling on the bus, I sweetly recall my times with the jeep. Recently I've seen the jeep, newly painted, upgraded. I'm happy for her for doing so well. Hope she does find a new owner who can drive with purpose served.
