smells like jackfruit.

we were on the road when my dad brought up the topic of me having a licence. he asked whether i had the interest to get one, and so i said i wanna get both licences, but for the time being (since i'm not working yet) i wanna get a vespa.

and he told me that it's quite dangerous, getting a bike licence cos i'm a girl. but he's not gonna be encouraging nor discouraging about it; it's all up to me whether i want to get a bike licence or not. he told me that if i got into an accident, it'll be real bad if i end up crippled or whatever cos i'm not a guy. for a guy it's not that bad, but noone wants an ugly-scarred-for-life girl. he said he's just telling me what might happen, but if i still insist on riding one, so be it.

i told him, it's a vespa, you can't possibly speed on it. his reply: you'll be the slow one, but there're also others who'll be lazy to wait, and they'll just zoom around like nobody's business.

food for thought.

  • Oh God. You want to get a VESPA?! Me Too!!! It's the prettiest thing on Earth and I've been dying to lay my hands on one. Would love a cream coloured one (: although I would most probably have to Move Out before riding one ):

  • your daddy has a point... i love the idea of riding around on a vespa but the thought of the other vehicles zooming past me and 'bullying' me on the road is not very inviting.

  • so sad. maybe i can grow muskles so they won't bully me.
