I miss the conversations i used to have with Dad, whether in person or online. Online because, well, we're not on the same continent for most of the year. Here's a new quote:

After asking him to teach me how to drive when i get to Aussie, i told him i drove Ivan's manual car before in a quiet neighbourhood at 4am and Bean took a voice recording of the hilarious chaos that ensued. To listen, go to Bean's blog and look under the label Hilarity, and then scroll down to "Vera Driving" or something like that. I would like to first clarify that it was my first time driving. And the car was a MANUAL. (Which of you can drive manual huh!?) And i neither hit nor killed anyone/thing despite what sounds like chickens in a panic in the background. It's me and Bean laughing. After listening to it:

Dad: So hilarious. What answer did u expect when u asked what do u have to do at the turn?

Me: HAHA i thought got to do something tricky with the gears or the clutch or what mah. Thenthen, there was one try where i shifted to second for the first time then i was going too fast then ivan said, "STOP IT!", so i let go ot the clutch and the gas.

Dad: You mean stop the car?

Me: Yah. And then stalled. HAHA!

pause.

Dad: i'm now having second thots.

Me: WHYYYYYY! But it's only my first time. Not bad already okay!

Dad: hahahahhahahahah okay.

Me: At least i shifted to second after 3 tries or so.

Dad: Anyway mine is auto and it wont stall. If it does u must be really bad.

Me: HAHHAHAHAHA what car is it?

Dad: Ford focus.

Me: Eee. Ford.

Dad: ? It's free.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH! I like these conversations where Dad is damn funny but he doesn't know it until i write it down. Then after that he admits to himself, "Yah, actually i'm quite funny ah..."
