____Responsibility

Just had a good day. Normal, pretty emotionless, little excitement, a little fun, a little study - I love it. It's maybe the ideal weekend - except for the lack of football, and going out with friends.

Nevertheless, I made up for everything by spending the evening sitting at the dinner table with my family. I had my grandparents over for dinner. And there was steamed fish! Yum. Living in a hostel doesn't provide the wonderful feeling of sharing a steamed fish at a dining table. How I loved it so much. Mum's cooking is always the best. Simple, healthy, delicious and home-y. Plus there was abalone and yes... yu sheng. Afterall, since my grandparents came over, there sure must be some "highlight" food. Haha!

I went over to fetch my grandparents from their house. Well, I drove. I needed to practice my driving and recently, I've been doing good. I realised that many friends I have tend to have the misconception that once you passed the driving test, you are competent enough to be on the road. Well, I am lucky to have friends who do not feel this way too.

What I wanted to say was that the initial kick of getting into the driving seat quickly faded away again as soon as my grandparents got into the car. Don't mean to sound so serious but hey, the truth is, their lives are in my hands. Suddenly, the pressure to conform to safety was so evident. I became less lackadaisical and more careful with the humps as I tried to make it truly comfortable ride for them. Not that I haven't been a safe driver to begin with, but my mind keep playing with thoughts about the amount of responsibility I had. I had to bear in mind that my grandmother suffered from a mild stroke recently too.

Well, I survived the lesson on responsibility. It was a pretty good job done too. No complains from my dad and as usual, kept giving pointers and little notes to which parts of the road that can be dangerous as a rookie driver.

I wonder how come there can be so many accidents on the road. Don't drivers feel the responsibility that comes with driving their loved ones around?

After that, I managed to give my brother a lift to Serangoon too.

Pretty fine day.
