the one with the new car.
getting a new car is a big deal. the last time we legitimately got a new car was when my dad bought the trusty landeater back in the summer of '93. times have been good for the iswara, and now it's been joined by a perdana v6 that my father got on a 20% discount. yes, it sounds dodgy, but it was used during the previous asean summit (the same summit where i'd worked for the indian press), and it hadn't been used since then. of course, in situations like these, the air conditioning wasn't up to par, but it doesn't require fixing...just a very strong push of a button that shouldn't be pushed at all.
it looks so pretty on the outside, to be honest. a two-toned burgundy perdana with those brilliant rear convex lights...and the front has a lip of mesh. the only thing i have apprehensions about is the alfa rip-off front grille...but even that's okay because the car's so pretty. everything falls apart once you step inside and notice that it's a proton...bad plastic, strange dials, wonky "leather" and the aforementioned dodgy air conditioning.
but yes, it's fun to drive. even if it does make strange noises.
----------
forgive me for the lack of updates. it's just that my time online has been cut short by my father, who enforces a policy of less online time. i can't even chat without being chided for a lack of focus on "studying". it's come down to just opening a book and staring at it to convince the old man that i'm doing something productive, even if my mind is light years away.
i can understand his concern, but his constant nagging is beginning to become noise. i obviously can't give any witty comebacks because he usually gets even more annoyed when i do that, so in the end...if i don't hit the books...i get hit.
no, i don't. i obviously can kick my father's ass by sitting on him. it's the least i can do.
----------
right now it's almost dawn and i feel so dirrrrty about blogging. ahhh. if only my father could see me now.
it's valentine's day, and may ann has about 2 weeks left in the country. i don't have anything planned besides hanging out with her for the whole day.
i don't really believe in valentine's day. a holiday that isn't a holiday that celebrates love? please. we can do better. this is a woman's holiday. it just is.
