Bad driver

It's holiday! But still waking up early as I have another side job at home which is being a driver. Had been a long time since I last drove. I don't like driving for some reason which god knows what is it. But now I need to be driving as much as I possibly could. I'm having internship next month in Shah Alam, it can be a far journey. No, I still haven't figure out the way to my company *smack head* It can be complicated and most importantly jam. My house address written Shah Alam but all the while I had been naming myself a Klang people. You will understand the intermediate struggle when you are in the middle when both parties doesn't recognize you.
I had been driving all the while in my housing area as I can have everything I need here which doesn't require me to go out far. Starbucks for gathering, hawker stall for meal, park for a walk, Tesco as grocery for goods, and shopping mall for more shopping. Everything is within distance. And especially friends who tolerate and drive me out, I'm happily a passenger.

I'll possibly scream or being extremely silent if you are driving too dangerous. I have one friend who drive dangerously. She will possibly get lots of horns even if it's just a short distance. Somehow we actually avoid sitting her car because it freak us out. I love safe driver, people who drive safely.

Some say I have drivphobia. Perhaps I do? I'm really particular to people's driving behavior. I discipline myself for not making error. Driving is scary, it may leads to accident and even death. You don't want to die in this early age or to cause others to get into accident due to your mistake. Been practicing driving recently to brush up all those rusty skill by means a lot of drop off and pick up accompany by daddy.

This morning, after sending daddy to his office I came back to fetch my sister. Things starts trembling here. I wasn't clear about the location of her company and actually overshoot missing the turning but luckily there's always GPS to save us now. So, I drove a little further for another alternative road. Not to say I'm a city girl, but this is my first time seeing so many foreigner in bike driving on the road. It's a factory area allegedly my sister is pursuing her studies in engineering. Hundreds of bicycles to avoid, looking to the left so much worrying and wondering how if I accidentally bang into them. My estimation skill is bad, I always wonder if I give enough space to the left whereby there's actually bunch of motorcycles and bicycles on the right lane too, not to left out the pedestrian. Too much live to worry while trying to figure out where is her company. Sort of clumsily turning in and out again. Thanks god, we reached safely.

Note that I'm a safe driver just that I'm not good enough. They say practice makes perfect. I know I will be good the next time.
