the day i bid adieu to ebony
as of yesterday, i've only three weeks to say my goodbyes to the family black MPV whom i've fallen in love with during the past eight months. she was bulky, a tad heavy and at times mighty frustrating to park, but she was gentle and lovely cos she made her mistress feel like doing road trips all over again (since perth days).how i missed the long highway rides home in the ratty old car and at times the cutesy echo (with the most mind numbing stick shifts). how i missed the the wind blowing in my hair. how i missed belting out rock ballads at 120km/h. how i missed filling up my own petrol tank. how i missed washing my car (er.. only once). how i missed the dirt cheap parking fees in perth.
now i simply miss the long therapeutic walks from amoy street to one fullerton. haven't had the opportunity to renew that nostalgia since centro/embargo deserted us. i loved the walk with light rain. reminded me of melbourne and ally mcbeal's poignant walks in the rain.
how i digressed. pseudo master, having experienced ebony's battery relapse last week has finally decided to trade her for a silver harrier (which he's been eyeing for the past two months). the harrier was sexy. masculine and powerful in design, i found myself secretly admiring him in awe when the ah beng salesperson showed me his sunroof and automatic steering wheel lock. as i walked out of the showroom with pseudo master, i felt a heavy sense of guilt and sadness for my beloved. guilt cos i found myself attracted to the harrier and sadness cos i know i only have three weeks with her now. i've decided to steal her and spend as many nights out as possible till he comes.
how we broke her heart. *sniff*
