Chapter 54: on the ROAD again
13 July 2009 11:54
I woke up today with seriously aching arms and shoulders.
No, I didn't carry weights. Neither did I carry any rice sacks. The truth is I never carried anything.
I just . . . drove.
Ever since the embarrassing 10-point turn (the norm is 3 point) which I did in Bintan on a little buggy last year, causing the surrounding people to stop what they were doing just to see what stunts I'm performing, I had no chance and at the same time I wouldn't want, to drive again. For embarrassing matters, just once is enough.
Yesterday, I decided to put the past behind me and focus on my future. So . . i drove.
Hubby sat at the back, as quiet as a mouse (think Emile in Ratatouille), as if any frequency in the air might cause me, the driver, to be distracted and result in some irreversible consequences.
Despite all these, I seemed to have kept myself in my own world, enjoying every bit of zapping in between cars, putting all my senses into use, and earning some satisfaction that hasn't come in a long time.
Though this satisfaction comes with some bodyache all over, I hope to be back on the road very soon again. . .
" . . . with you, my dear friends . .
越过高山和大海
勇敢面对危险
we're on the road again . . . " ~ 优客李林。少年游
