a new car

I and my brother have bought a new car. It is quite big. My brother is presently driving the car. I am still learning. I have been driving car manually for the last twenty years. This new car is an auto. So that is why I am still learning.

My brother has been sitting by my side while I am driving the car. He comment this and comment that. When I was driving my previous car, he has said my parking is lousy. Now with the auto, it is still the same.

He seems more worried and tense than me everytime I drive the car. I have drove the car thrice already since we bought it two weeks ago. He said I am a careless driver. I stop the car too far away from the front car. I deem it as careful. He deems it as asking to be knocked by another car. He already said that too far away from the front car may cause the car at the back to knock into our car.

I also do not know why. I like to park my car slant to one side. I guess I do not have a sense of direction. Oh, I am still learning, after twenty years of driving a car the manual way. Hope to become an expert soon, he he he ...........

travelling partner

I loves travelling but I have problem looking for travelling partner. So I decided to advertise for a female travelling partner in one of the local website. I receive all kinds of responses. When I advertised, I specifically state that I was looking for a female to travel with. But 50% of the respondents are male and one lesbian. The lesbian scares me off with her strong tactics which include mushy emails and calls.

The males are from all races, really malaysian. There are malay, indian, chinese etc. There are some married men and some looking for short term relationship. Some can't even spell properly. Which makes me wonder are these teenagers or grown men. Married man who is looking for a short fling. That's disgusting.

There is one whom I have written several emails to her. We got along fine until she starts lying about herself. She proclaimed she is a finance manager who is working in a public listed company in Kulim. The truth is she can't even spell the word, "friend" which makes me doubted her. So I stopped writing to her as I do not need liar as friend.

I managed to find one to go travelling to Shanghai with. She is married with two kids. She seems ok to me. We have met and have booked a trip to Shanghai. So here I go with my new found friend to Shanghai in November 2005. Hope it is not too cold in Shanghai.
