51. COUNSELLING SESSION WHILE DRIVING AT THE BUSY INTERSECTION, YES, I'M NOT THAT GOOD YET

Understanding Driving Calmly

Let me recap: I've just got my driving license, and now I drive everywhere I go (except to office, because they charge parking fee, too expensive).

I was driving towards my Mom's office, at noon (read: rush hour, pretty much). We need to pass a busy intersection along the way. I'm calm, I'm ready, I'm cautious.

The light was green, and I began to drive slowly across.

Then, someone from somewhere (I mean, I didn't have the time to spot him / her) honked. I'm in the centre of the intersection and there were so many cars driving past me. The honking didn't stop there, it kept coming louder and longer.

     

I hit the brake hard (I mean I was driving slowly anyway, but don't question how I hit my brake), I screamed, and I covered my ears with both of my hands. Steering wheel? Forget it. I quit driving at that moment.

Yes, my Mom was beside me. She slapped me again, and provided psychology consultation right there at that moment, so I could relax a bit, not panic, and start driving again.

Yes, I continued my journey driving to my Mom's office.

Yes, I still drive like a loser.

50. YISS, I'M IN LOVE WITH MYSELF THAT WAY

Understanding Driving Pose

I was watering my plants in the garden, when a man passed my house with his car.

That's when I saw what I think to be something odd. This guy put one hand on the steering wheel, and the other hand to his chin. The problem is, he smiled looking at the street.

Is he thinking about his girl? or how to sneak out of the house tonight? or how to screw a classmate? I mean, nobody is taking a picture of him driving.

Me, on the porch, yelling in my mind, "Stop that cuteness pretence, you're not cute. I'm starting to hate your sitting position, your car, your driving pose, your smile, YOU. Don't come back passing my house again, or I'll go inside and never come out everyday on this hour."

YOU FAILED! YOU, ANNOYING SSHH...
(I'm not allowed to finish the word)

49. I WILL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY, EVEN IF IT'S TOO AWKWARD

Understanding Honesty Towards Classmates

I remember when I first had a chat with my boyfriend, who had been my classmate for two years.

I was walking home from school alone. He was there, waiting for me. I smiled and calmly approached him. Shut up, he was in my way.
Me:	Hey, how're you? Why're you here?
Boyfriend:	Yes. I'm here. Waiting for you. (with a deep voice)
Me:	Ow, what's up? Anything I can help you with?
Boyfriend:	Yes. With you. I'd like to walk you home. (with a deep voice)
Me:	Ow, okay. It's this way. Anyway, why do you wanna walk me home? Coz, then, you'd have to walk me home everyday. Or I'll miss you. This is me, teasing him. I'm dying to know the reason why he wanted to walk me home, okay. Is he a killer? Anyway, I led him towards a police station though.
Boyfriend:	No. Don't miss me. That's too awful a feeling for you. Let me miss you everyday. (with a deep voice)
Me:	Just smiling like crazy... Losing myself like crazy... I thought I was curious if he was a killer...
Boyfriend:	I love you. You are the reason why I would continue living in this world. (of course, with a deep voice)
Me:	And, what if I say no?
Boyfriend:	Not a problem. I won't force you to love me. But, I'm staying because I need you by my side. (still, with a deep voice)

I told him, my dad was the Chief Inspector of Police though.
I mean, one cannot be too sure.
But from then on, I couldn't leave him alone. He needs me.

48. THANK YOU TO ALL PLUMBERS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD FOR THEIR HARD WORK

Understanding The Plumber for Who He Is; Human

We have one trusted plumber, who fixes our water pump from time to time.

This plumber is so strange. He would finish everything so quickly, and then after around 30 minutes or so, he would come back to our house. Sometimes he'd come back after several days had passed. The reason varies, either because he forgot to replace a pipe with the new one, or he forgot to connect the pipe with our water heater, anything.

One day, my Mom asked me to clean the basement. We have our water pump installation down there, so the plumber would always work there.

It turned out that our basement was disgustingly dirty, dark (no lights installed), dusty, cramped, hot, and a bit damp. I found so many treasures there, like chicken bones, dead cockroaches, lizard bones, spiderwebs, and dead ants hanging on the webs.

I couldn't stay very long at first, because I had to get out of that basement for a while. I needed to LOL.

No wonder our plumber forgets so much, because the minute he walked into our basement, he lost his concentration. He might feel disgusted too, and wanted to finish his work as quick as possible, so he could breathe fresh air again outside. Once he was outside, all his memories came flashing back, and he could think properly again. Then, he remembers.

Dear plumber,
We didn't know, OKAY
