On Races and How They Get in Between.

This morning, I was in Sepang where Hariss, his brothers, some of their cousins and friends went for a friendly race. Apparently, it's the way they bond but I am always his mother because I'll be saying "ride slowly" instead of saying "win!" like some other supportive girlfriends.


Hariss thinks I'm so uncool so throughout the time we've known each other, he's only taken me to watch the race twice. Once when we were just 1/2 months together (there was this GP Race) and another time, today (that's because he didn't have enough time to send me back home). He's generally very into sports and a very active lad but I am 1) not interested in watching that sort of race and 2) I think it's super duper dangerous. And lastly, we never bond when we watch such race together so to have a nice relationship, we try to avoid doing it. ;)


That one time when we were watching the race, I wanted to notify my dad what time I would get back home so I asked:


Me : What time will this GP race finish?
Him : What GP?
Me : Ummm, THIS GP race???
Him : They're not GP riders. They're 125!
Me : What 125? Basically, they're riders, right?
Him : No. Don't you know they've teams? They've MotoGP, Moto2 and 125. You DON'T KNOW that? What do you mean you don't know?!

Me :  Go Italy!!

Him : So who're you rooting for?

Me : Italy.

Him : How can you root for Italy? You're supposed to choose just one person.

Me : But they're representing the same country. So why not?

Him : This is an individual race..........

Me : Err , okay. I shall root for _______ (someone I cannot remember)

Him : Buuuuut, he's not on the Italy's team.

Me : What? He looks Italian! And I read that he was born somewhere in Italy.

Him : I've a friend who was born in London. But that doesn't make him a British.

Him : Do you think if I get that Ducati, I'll be able to do his style of 170km/h cornering?

Me : What are you crazy? 

Him : Why?

Me : Who corners at 170km/h?!! You're supposed to watch your speed. I don't mind if it's just a straight road but corners?!

Him : But racing is all about taking the risks. What are you nagging about?

Me : That lad placed 27th. Why is he receiving a medal?

Him : He placed FIRST. His number's 27! Let's go home. T.T

But I believe it's the little little differences that make the journey even better. :)

Lotsa love,

Freida.
