On Feb 24, Singapore International Foundation (SIF) had organized a post Chinese New Year gathering in Virginia. There were two rental cars and 10 people attending from Baltimore.
Due to some last minute changes, I had to drive a car and followed Wen Min's car since she had a global positioning system. This was the first time I had to follow behind some car since I would plan my route before going anywhere.
I hated leaving only a car space between us on the highway, so I left two to three spaces. Along the one hour odd journey, there were intervening cars obstructing my view where I struggled to ensure we were still in the right direction.
My passengers also complained that my overtaking was not smooth initially which I made a mental note and overtook smoothly.
The last part of the drive along D.C. was tricky as there were many turns at short distances. I had vague memory of the direction because I was concentrating on following, rather than constructing mental road map.
We arrived in one-piece at the cafe. The food was not superb but the company was. There were performances put up by young Singaporeans and I was picked to play 'Who is smarter than a fifth grader'.
I did not have to drive on the journey back since I hopped onto Wen Min's car. I only had the slightest memory to get back to 295.
