Everybody knows when a guy’s excited about something, he tends to babble about it non-stop to people around him.
So it’s inevitable I asked Baby, with a superior smile, have she ever drove a 240 bhp, turbo-charged 2L car before.
Before I could expound eagerly on the thrills and the general incredibility of driving a Rex, she replied I think so.
I stared at her. She was busily reading her magazine.
“What do you mean you think so? You either have or you don’t.” I was on the veer of throwing a tantrum.
Without looking up from her magazine, she said, “Is turbo-charged car the one where the rpm very high and can go very fast one?”
My mouth dropped. “ermm… yeah…”
She finally looked up from her magazine. “Yeah, I drove those before in Malaysia… my cousins’ car. Got a red H logo in front one… not sure what brand is that. I think they all drive that kind of cars. But yeah, I always drive a turbo-charged car, if that’s what you called it, whenever I am up North visiting my relatives. Why, you want to know how driving that is like?
She was grinning hopefully at me.
“Uhmm… nothing lah. Just asking.”
I went back to drinking my coffee and reading my newspaper.
When it comes to cold shower, nobody does it better than her.
