Joyride
Just came back from a joyride. Was restless and couldn't take being cooped up in my stuffy room anymore. Housemates had guests over so it was hard to hang out in the living room to watch TV.
Nevertheless, still managed to read my way through an hour of subtitles for the Korean drama 'Love story at Harvard'. (Housemates and friends were having an anitmated discussion in the living room) Thank goodness for subtitles! I would have hated missing the drama as I love it. The girl is so sweet and pretty with a flawless, peaches and cream complexion and a wholesome-goodness about her. I'd bet any guy's heart would melt if she merely smiled.
Kim Tae-Hee-What a babe!
Great makeup, enhancing natural beauty!
After the show, I felt that I just COULDN'T stand being in my room. I had to go somewhere...anywhere! I kind of understood at that point the helpless fustration of a prison inmate and the claustrophobic feeling of being in a place where you're dying to get out but there is no escape route whatosever. Luckily, for me, I at least the keys for my 'escape.'
So with no real destination in mind, I grabbed my baby's keys and dashed down 4 flights of stairs to the carpark. I could have taken the apartment's lift, but the spur of the moment decision made me too impatient to wait. I know, I can be compulsive sometimes, so shoot me!!
I pressed the remote control car lock, fastened the seat belt, unlocked the stearing lock and put the keys in the ignition, turned it and my baby purred to life....still gives me a thrill every time I start my car.
Switched on the headlights and radio which was tuned to 92.9 fm. Reversed out of the parking space and then turned the air-conditioning on. Is there any truth in waiting before turning on the air-conditioning? I practise it nevertheless.
Ahhhh...the feeling of cool air hitting my face is sheer bliss. Instantly, my perspiration evaporated. I know there is an old wive's believe that it's bad to turn on air-conditioning when you're sweating for fear of rheumatism in old age, but trust me, nothing can beat cool air on warm skin, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. I love the person who invented air-conditioning!!!
MV and jam-free Federal Highway at nightWhat a pleasant, calming feeling it is to just cruise along KL roads when they are jam-free. To feel the cool air conditioning blowing at your face, to hear great music blasting from your car stereo. To be literally free to go anywhere you want to go, or at least, anywhere you know how to drive to, which for me isn't all that much.
I didn't drive far tonight. Just along Federal, passing Midvalley, to Taman Desa, made a round and back. Total time must have been about 20 minutes and mileage about 15 miles. But that short joyride certainly did me good. It cooled me down both physically and mentally and took the edge off my restlessness. I would recommend "taking a spin" to anyone who is feeling a bit moody and don't know what to do. Try it, joyrides might just work for you.

At that hour, if you wanna go joyriding you could also take in the option of asking yer mates to go for a yamcha. Most likely they won't be asleep yet, no?
Well, there are times when everyone is either too busy/too tired/live too far away/don't give a damn...Heh, so this girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do to- find an alternative =D
