My Baby

I'M EUPHORIC!

I've picked up my car! It's a polished beige-pinkish Toyota Camry 3L sedan, complete with the usual functions that were present in my previous Toyota Corolla back in Singapore. Boring car, I supposed, as compared to a sports model or 4 wheel drive, but still it brought about enough admiration and drooling from my colleague who kindly accompanied me to the caryard for collection. No sight of those ugly people there and the salesman who entertained us was this young good-looking earnest lad (look who's drooling ). We drove out for lunch afterwards and tried some parallel-parking before proceeding to the hospital for my evening shift. I couldn't help smiling throughout the whole 8 hours, and even the sight of that most irritating Ortho Reg didn't succeed to erase that grin from my face at all. Eventually most of my colleagues came to know of my new possession and shared my joy.

I'm aiming to drive to Sydney one day with my "baby" but not before learning the routes and directions from my friend first. We are heading down today, him for a wedding function, and I, for the Opera House to sing my lungs out (just kidding ).
