What to blog about today?

This will just be a random post, something I haven't done in a long, long time! :) Anyway, it was a good day for me today.

I went for a job interview last week and the company asked me to go for a medical check-up this morning. The check-up procedure went well. The doctor was nice though I didn't realise he was the doctor! Silly me. Had a blood test but now there's this blood clot thing on my arm at the part where it bends. Man, hope it's nothing serious.

I also had a great time with my friends from uni, who I haven't seen for a couple of months. It was so fun catching up with them! :D

Then came back home, took a nap, woke up and read two chapters of The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. I am enjoying reading it and will continue after I get offline!

Anyway, I'm really happy because this blog has gained 143 followers as of today. I know I shouldn't be obsessed with the followers thingy but it just makes me happy, you know. So thank you so much for taking an interest in my blog! :)

I do have a book giveaway going on right now. The book up for grabs is Collision of Evil by John Le Beau. I received it for review (you can read my review of it) and now one of my readers will have a chance to win it.

Nevertheless, do check out this guest post by Thomas Hauck, the author of Pistonhead. He has written a particularly interesting piece on what success really is and also about how he got around to writing his novel.

That's all for now. Good night! :)

Thumbs Up!

Have you ever been lucky to have had some driver or motorist on the road give you the finger? Yeah, the middle finger. Have YOU given someone on the road that finger??? Me? Never! But I should remember to give the peace sign next time.

Anyway, it was the first time someone gave me the thumbs up today while driving. In my one year of driving life, it has not happened before. Some uncle/guy in his car with his family/friends. He wanted to turn in and was waiting for me to pass. But I made a hand motion to let him know that he can turn in first. So, he turned and gave me the thumbs up!

Usually, around 6 - 7 pm, the after-work hours are the most stressful time to be driving on the road. You'll meet maniacal drivers speeding and honking at you, urging and forcing you to go faster. Mercedes cars, for example! No offence to those who own Mercedeses, but it's true. They don't pity smaller cars like the Kancils and Kelisas. I know the Mercedes has the speed but be patient, for goodness' sake!

And no, these speeders normally don't give people the thumbs up sign either.
