My ride has been with me for many many years. Recently on Sunday, it reached a milestone of 111,111km. Although its nothing fancy but its got me to many places and have yet to go to many others. I don't know much about cars else I would have noticed that I could have made it gone much faster just by tightening a cable. A mechanic who usually spends his times fixing up Rolls Royces helped me replaced my faulty alternator and he noticed that my accelerator was not optimal and he adjusted it. When my car was ready, I was not used to the changes and it took me a few days to get used to my more powerful car.
Once I got used to it, I can easily reach my normal cruising speed of 115kmph with ease. Before this it would take quite some time to build up the speed and I would normally curse those who were ahead of me and even more so if they caused me to lose precious speed which took me ages to build up. The last time I managed to hit 160kmph was when I first got my car but now I can get up to that speed in a much shorter time almost like when I first got my car =)
However, perhaps due to my older age now, high speed is not because I wanted to but more like I want to reach my destination faster but the strange thing which I noticed is that although I seemed to be going super fast but the cars which were left eating my dust would be right next to me when I reach my destination. So in my mind, I'm wasting petrol but not really gaining much time. In short, its just not worth it ...
When I used my bluetooth headset to listen to songs, I just realized a very old song had so much meaning to me, 你把我灌醉
开 往城市边缘开 把车窗都摇下来
用速度换一点痛快
孤单被热闹的夜赶出来
却无从告白 是你留给我的悲哀
哦 爱 让我变得看不开
哦 爱让我自找伤害
你把我灌醉 你让我流泪
扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回
你把我灌醉 你让我心碎 爱得收不回
猜 最好最坏都猜
你为何离开 可惜永远没有答案
对我 你爱得太晚 又走得太快
我的心你不明白
哦 爱 让我变得看不开
哦 爱让我自找伤害
你把我灌醉 你让我流泪
扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回
你把我灌醉 你让我心碎 爱得收不回
我梦到哪里你都在
怎么能忘怀
你那神秘的笑脸
是不是说
放不下你 是我活该
For those who can read chinese, you would probably understand why I can relate to this. Come to think of it, perhaps I am really substituting.
