U-Turn Aunty

I have a new nickname from Ah Lau.

"U-Turn Aunty".

Ok, the Aunty is added because I started calling him 'something Uncle'.

Apparently, I am known for making U-Turns when driving. It's true. I make mistakes all the time even when I've been that route countless of times before. The fact is, I'm really good at reading maps (even though I do say so myself) but am usually in too much of a rush to read a map before setting off or do not have the GPS with me (Yah, yah, I know the phone has it. Too lazy you know?).
So I usually just drive off and depend on the road signs. Most times, I exit the highway at what else...the wrong exit or I'll turn at the wrong junction or miss the turn completely. Wait, I have to say, IF I read a map before I set off, I usually won't make any U-Turns!

I don't have an issue with that. So what? Make a mistake? Just make a U-Turn and get back on track. What's the big deal? Once I make the U-Turn, I learn from it so that I will make it a point to remember the correct road to take the next time. Ok, I admit it. Some of my mistakes have taken me to Timbucktoo before I could find a legal U-Turn point. I guess when you are a passenger seated next to me, you won't be as patient with me as I am with myself. Hehe.

Anyway, the COE on our car runs out in less than a year. With crazy mad COE prices, who knows if we will still be driving after that. Our car is a people mover. It has moved loads of old foggies. Brought them for family gatherings and back, brought them for medical appointments and back, brought our kids to school and back. If we can no longer afford the COE than, our old foggies will have to find alternative transportation and this U-Turn Aunty will have to retire her U-Turn ways. Sad day that will be. How will I learn from life's mistakes then?

Hmmm...would anyone dare to take a taxi driven by U-Turn Aunty?
