My Little Tin Can

Drove my car back up north last week. 
Changed a few things and did her up and she looks and feels as good as new now.
 She had twelve inch rims and tyres before this. When I bought her I changed the tyres but not the rims. Now she's running on fourteen inch sport rims and low profile tyres. So much quieter than before and sooo nice to drive.
 Sent her in for a good polish. The guy even re-painted a few things. This front part, just above the bonnet and the wiper holders, both front and back and also all four door handles.
Before coming back some weeks ago I got her tinted. Good deal on Groupon and they did it really well. It's not too dark although it looks almost completely black. 
Got the engine mounting changed as well. When in reverse she used to judder quite badly. Now it's super smooth.
Have installed sensor locks and changed all the floor mats. Replaced the drive shafts and brake pads.
Can't wait to start driving back when I'm on break. Will be so much more convenient than having to buy tickets and having to leave her with someone and having to rush off. 
Doesn't matter how old a car you have, really. If you maintain it and take good care of it, it'll last and serve you well :D

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
