#jc would be a good driver if not for the road rage

[trans-xianxian]

*holding my little wei wuxian plush in my hands* please mr yiling laozu help me pass my drivers test

[imreallyonthishellsite]

mxtx main characters as drivers

wwx: would be a good driver if he didn't get distracted every 5 minutes and constantly forget where he's supposed to be going (jc swears he does the latter on purpose but doesn't have any proof yet). when he's not distracted hes usually going 5 above the speed limit. has a random playlist for all driving occasions ("why do you have a 'just brunt down walmart and now I'm on the run' playlist?" "why shouldn't i?")

lwj: the example of the perfect driver. will drive the exact speed limit and will refuse to go a single mile over ("lan zhan please we dont have to drive so slow" "its a school zone.the speed limit is 15" "lan zhan the school has been closed for 10 years pls go faster im begging" "no."). mostly plays classical music, podcasts or the rare romance song while driving

xl: decent driver when he gets the opportunity to drive. goes hard on the brakes bc he scared of hitting someone. will let people cut in front of him bc "they might have somewhere important to be". mostly listens to random radio stations for variety

hc: speed demon unless he's with xl. even then he's still a pretty safe driver. carries sticky notes to rate other drivers skills and put them on their car with notes (no one has gotten over a 7). extremely picky about music while driving, if he hates the song you play your banned from ever playing music in his car again. will always listen to music selections from xl

sy/sqq: hates driving with every fiber of being but still got his license. has extreme road rage and has pulled up next to someone to rage abt their driving to their face (spolier he made them cry). will only drive if he actually needs too, this man is a passenger princess. not too picky abt music surprisingly but doesn't like the volume to be too loud

lbh: very good driver. if you piss him off while driving he will either ride way too close to your bumper and follow you for a short time to freak you out or start driving purposefully slow and refuse to let you pass. Music depends on his mood or the events he has going in that day. date nights will be romance and happy songs, dropping sqq off to hangout out with lqg will be heartbreak/when will my love return songs, returning from a business meeting is loud ass rage music

Some questions answered

This is going to be very different from my usual update, but here goes.

Sometime back, I had friends asking me about my relationship that came out of no where. I’d originally wanted to  answer those questions in a video, but cause we’re camera shy (read: lazy), we figured we could do this as a written post. 

WARNING: There’s some profanity (and funnily enough it’s not from me). There’s also some cheesiness, so please try not to cringe too much. 

How old are you guys?

Siti: I turned 27 in February. Didn’t think I would be getting married in my 20s. Had pictured myself getting married in my 30s instead. Glad I’m wrong.

Aliff: 27 years young hahaha

How long have we been together? 

Siti: I feel like if I get this right or wrong, I would be judged regardless. We’d gotten together in October 2019. So it’s been 11 months? Now we’re engaged, and getting married in January. Someone works fast. 

Aliff: We’ll have our first anniversary this October. Exact date, that’s a secret. (Really, even she doesn’t know)

Where and when did we first meet?

Siti: JJC campus back in 2010? And then again at the Landmark Restaurant @ the Village Hotel Bugis in 2018. Taxi stand at Paya Lebar Square in 2019? HAHA 

Aliff: JJC in 2010

What was your first impression of each other?

Siti: This is hard. Cause I don’t remember if I had a first impression of him when I first met him back in JC. Didn’t have a “first impression” of him once again when I met him at a mutual friend’s wedding back in 2018. Think that was after 5 plus years of not seeing him? Still no impression. 

Aliff: A cutie but she was attached when I knew her. Remembered wishing I had the opportunity to know her better in school

First thing you noticed about the other?

Siti: Mmm considering I don’t remember the first impression, don’t think I’d remember this. Maybe his walk?

Aliff: “Siala, dia boleh bebual Melayu. Baik pe” (Roughly translates to: “Whoa, she can speak Malay. Cool.”)

Where was our first date?

Siti: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m not even sure WHEN or WHICH was our first date. BUT, I think it was Jurong Point? Yeah I have no clue.

Aliff: HAHAHA this depends on interpretation. I would say Pizza Hut during Ramadhan 2019 but the agreed upon first date would be at Jurong Point. Uhh, at the same Pizza Hut I might add.

Do you have any insecurities in your relationship? 

Siti: No? Not really. Don’t think so? I DON’T KNOW. Maybe just that I’m a flight risk and that I have plenty of issues. 

Aliff: Used to be insecure about her past relationships. Got over it, no need to worry when she has the best in me right? Hahaha

What do you like most about each other? 

Siti: His patience. His kindness. His understanding. Plus, he accepts me for me. Warts and all (literally cause I’m a witch).

Aliff: She is true to herself and never wavered in her convictions. She has always followed her own path and has unquestionable honour. (RIP Mako Iwamatsu)

What's the biggest fight you've ever had? 

Siti: Uhhhh I think the biggest fight we had was my fault. Rather, cause I still have difficulty sometimes accepting that I have a partner to rely on and work with. I’m still working on it, and I’m hoping it doesn’t get in the way again.

Aliff: I was at fault, poking fun at her insecurities. It is something I have to work on. Perpetual work in progress.

What are your pet peeves of each other? 

Siti: He reads what he’s typing out loud for his text replies. Literally. Out. Loud. And his eating habits. Won’t expand on it cause that’s not my information to share.

Aliff: SHE DISAPPEARS. LIKE EVERY TIME, EVERY WHERE. STOP DOING THAT!! 

When did you meet my family?

Siti: He met mine in November 2019, and I think I met his in the same month?

Aliff: One fine evening. “Eh my mum wants to meet you.” Had dinner at her place

Who said “I love you” first?

Siti: He did. By accident. Was kinda cute cause even he was caught off guard after he said it.

Aliff: Me. I blurted it out halfway on my living room couch while watching TV

Weird habit of each other?

Siti: Not exactly a habit. But if he starts singing the Doraemon song, he has to sing it from start to finish.

Aliff: Hmm, habit huh? Mmm… OH THAT’S RIGHT. Her default responses. “Mmm” to literally everything.

“What you want to eat?” “mmm” 

“Are we meeting tomorrow?” “mmm”

What I often do in my free time?

Siti: Sleep. Both of us would sleep. Or binge shows.

Aliff: What free time? There’s only nap time

What pisses you off?

Siti: About him or in general? HAHA. If it’s about him, he doesn’t eat seafood unless it’s fish, and he doesn’t eat crunchy vegetables. It doesn’t piss me off, but it annoys me a little that I can’t eat those dishes with him. If in general, drivers who don’t signal. I get such road rage. 

Aliff: Nothing much actually. I’m generally very accepting of people. Except errant drivers. Jubo ah, kereta mahal takde signal (Roughly translates to: “Asshole la, such an expensive car no signal”). 

What I’m not good at?

Siti: Patience is not my strong suit sometimes. He’s more patient than I am.

Aliff: Immediate responses. I need to think through what I want to say, otherwise filters might be off

What I’m good at?

Siti: Raging. And being direct. Sarcasm.

Aliff: I’m a people person (like a certain Fire Nation Princess)

Favorite feature about each other?

Siti: His smile. I love seeing his smile.

Aliff: I like her hair.

What do we argue about the most?

Siti: Who’s going to pay for things. He hates it when I pay first sometimes. 

Aliff: What she said ^

Do I have any weird obsessions?

Siti: He does. I’m normal. 

Aliff: Watching videos on YouTube about weird things like “How to airbend?” And actually trying it out. I’ve been caught “earthbending” in secondary school outside my classroom. Buggers were lucky I couldn’t do it, otherwise I’d have thrown chunks of rocks at their laughing faces for fun.

Nicknames for each other?

Siti: Sayang. Dumbass. Alep (rarely).

Aliff: Sayang. Aha. But my favourite. Calling her by her name. Because your name is one of the greatest gifts your parents gave you. Go check what her name means and you’ll know why.

Complete this sentence “You’re my……..”?

Siti: You’re my Player 2, partner, and my husband-to-be.

Aliff: Partner.

Is there anything you want to tell each other 

Siti: This will be so cheesy to have out in public, but, I love you. And I can’t wait for us to build our future together piece by piece. You’ve no idea how glad I am to have your support every step of the way for our future, and for my professional life. 

Aliff: I love you. We are not perfect and we won’t ever be but I will always do my best for both our families. I love you very much

P.S. The next time I upload a picture of us on this page, it would be a picture of us on our wedding day. The content of the post...well, I’ll decide that later.
