It isnt a very powerful car, but it has allowed me to go about Singapore as and when i like, especially late at night, when the bus and train service has stopped, and you realise that taking a cab sucks the penny out of you. Okay, maybe not as and when i like, since it's an Off-Peak car. Only at certain times of the day and on selected days of the week or year. And no, the ownership of the car doesnt belong to me. It's my dad's car. Still, i get to drive it. =)

Yesterday i drove the car out to bring my mum out somewhere, and then to fetch her home after that. Then, i went to my aunt's place to exchange the photographs of my Hokkaido Trip with my cousin. Along the way, a lot of naughty thoughts came to my mind. Please, naughty not as in lewd thoughts. My 'naughty' refers to the temptation of driving the car out to other places in my mind. But then, the environmentalist in me got the better of my thoughts, because i dont want to waste the petrol travelling around Singapore. Although i'm not the one forking out the money to top up the fuel, i feel bad wasting the petrol on my selfish actions and thoughts. That's why, i decided to go straight home right after my aunt's place. See, i care so much for Mother Earth. Haha, bullshit...

Anyway, another thought came up to my mind. Yesterday, i was driving with a tinge of drowsiness in me thanks to my cough syrup. Then, i recalled that night when i drove out to East Coast Park, followed by sending a couple of people home after that. i cant really remember who it was, either Tiffany or Ruby, who said she admired somebody who was so tired but yet still was able to drive the car. And i remembered that i jokingly answered that because i had the responsibility of the safety of everyone on board, that's why i was able to stay awake. Back then, i answered it in a joking fashion. But yesterday, i realised that it wasnt a joke at all. As i was driving, i realised how important it was for me to stay awake and be alert. i visualised that if i were to be involved in any accident, be it minor or major, it wont be just myself who will suffer the consequences. What about the others who cared for me? What about the people who loves me? Do i want to be responsible for bringing them sadness and grieve due to my negligence of any sort? Of course, another silly thought that came to my mind was that i will really kena by my dad if i really wrecked the car. With all these thoughts, my mind swung into full alert.

Yaowen, will you be calling my car 'Bumblebee' too if it's in yellow?
