Rock The Posts Day 22 : Drive Like The Wind, No?

Went to see my supervisor today, to discuss the thesis. Sara & I actually rehearsed who was gonna say what before entering the office. Hahaa. That's how it's gonna be every week, I don't know? Natural pre-meet nerves, which usually turns out to be no big deal. I mean, we all know "It's gonna be OKAY" right, but the nerves are just something we can't help, can we.

Was waiting for Tiqah to fetch me from campus :)

Sometimes they take so long to get there, that I evolve from stoning to doing whatever. First it's the infamous hand phone fiddle, you know, the I'm-smsing-but-not-really strategy to past the time. I've never tried the I'm-calling-but-not-really one though :P When that gets boring, I make myself read the posters & ads at the bus stop, even though I've been reading them everyday when I wait at that same spot. Haha.

Today, I recorded my footsteps as I walked around. Circled the bus stop a few times, till I saw Tiqah coming from afar. You'll have a better sense of how bored I was if you see the numerous bus stop video making attempts I made. I actually thought of posting the videos here, but it would've been a whole 10 minutes of nothingness. I've tried reading while waiting, doesn't work for me. Nope.

Enough about my boredom relief strategies.
As most of you already know, I haven't driven for quite some time now. It's been like, 3 years I think. Crazy right? Gosh, I've sooo lost touch. Somehow I decided to give it a try today. To you know, practice a little to get the hand of it. Reda accompanied me, & I drove around the housing area behind my house.

It's tough for me to get used to driving an SUV, coz I'm not really good at estimating how left or right I should be, especially on really narrow roads. There was this one time while I was driving with Reda just now, suddenly Reda was like, "Qilaa! Why are you driving so to the left?!". I was like, "Why??", & when I looked on his side, there were like huge tree bushes slapping the car window as I drove, pshh pshh pshh. LMAO.

It was so funny, I kept accidentally stepping on the accelerator while laughing, which caused the car to jerk a lot. The hardest part is when I wanna get back into my house gate, which's on the main road. The cars passing by there are like, REALLY fast, it's scary! I went in the wrong way & got stuck there, we had to wait for the road to clear so I could reverse & get a better angle to attempt at going in again. It was too scary, so instead of reversing & going in straight, I reversed out and made another round. Exchanged seats with Reda ,& he drove us back home. It seemed so easy for him. In fact, easy for EVERYONE, except me. Boo hoo.

Man, I suck at driving. (-_-").
I've got a LONG way till I get it right. No giving up, man!
Till then
