blunt sense of direction

Kite flying yesterday was a blast! We had super super super fun! Will blog about it in the next post once Sharaf uploads the pictures:)

But, also related to the kite flying episode was the "driving there". Yes, the driver was yours truly.

I drove to Tmn Batu Metropolitan on Sunday with my family just to gain confidence so that I can drive there again on Thursday for Batch5 Reunion. BUT I didn't reeeaallyy remember the road; as one friend put it: Alia, you have a blunt sense of direction. Yeah, thank you.

So I was worrying and worrying about the direction and when I told Ahmad about it, he retorted; oh that's smart. Why'd you plan on driving somewhere you don't even know where? You can so sense the empathy there.

I had to consult the Google Map and the KL book of maps and trying to imagine the roads; and had to consult my dad again and again and also ask several other people. Ahmad said it's so so close to Damansara; i've been to damansara so i don't mind getting lost there... as long as i don't veer off to ipoh or thailand, i'd be ok.

And THEEEN! Iman said she knew the way:) So i didn't have to bring the map or anything. I had 6 other people in the car screaming directions at me. Well, not exactly. But all i needed to ask was: Do I keep middle lane? Keep to left? Keep to right? Straight? and they'd scream; STRAIGHT! And on the way back Iman didn't know the way but good thing Sharaf was there to direct.

I didn't scratch the car, didn't bump or crash it or anything. THe Unser is still in one piece:) And I made made made sure EVERYONE wore their seatbelts.

Kausar says I'm a good driver:)

lol nice comeback iman:P riiiiiight maybe that's what you WANT us to think:P you invisible-kite flier!

we had to go back because SOMEONE had to go to the airport and Some other people needed to go back lol. and it looked cloudy and rainy...

look, motorcyclists in general are out there to get me! Seriously, they always position themselves at the blind spot or they swerve in at the last minute. Gets on my nerves and freaks me out.

anyways, thanks for coming:)
