Better late than never!

I was sitting at the breakfast table this morning, when suddenly, THIS popped up in my Gmail inbox - Name: Screenshot_20130523104217.png

Cue a joyous and jubilant 18 year old. I had finally made it to T-BHP after about four(?) attempts. The sense of relief after seeing that email, believe or not, was actually more than when I got my 12th grade results earlier this month. Not that I did particularly great..

Anyway, about myself, I'm a just-turned-18, wet-behind-the-ears, basically your average teenager. I'm waiting for my mandatory ten driving classes to get over with so I can get myself a DL. I've been driving - more like parking - the family cars since I was 11, when my dad decided to, on an impulse, teach me how to drive (park) a car. Of course, he hasn't let me do anything more than that for the past seven years. Thanks, Dad!

I learnt driving (parking) on a blue Ikon 1.8D, and now I'm honing my skills on a Fiesta 1.4 and a WagonR (yuck). I'm trying to convince my dad to replace the WagonR, since I absolutely hate it. I hope to get myself a McLaren F1 one day, but much much much more realistically, a Polo GT would be my buy.

Apart from cars, I'm a massive football and more importantly, an Arsenal fan if you haven't realized already. Bring on the football thread!

I'm also an ardent Kimi fan, having been made an F1 fanatic watching Mika Hakkinen drive when I was a tiddler.

Just in case you would what to know what I'm doing academically, I'm a soon-to-be law student. I think that's about all there is to me - so thanks for reading. If you've completely read through, that is.

Cheers,
Abel!
