Brought the car to workshop on Friday
Bonnet, boot, bumper
All under that suay guy's account
But we had to leave the car for them to do the job
& so we had to take public transport back JB

Nothing much happened in JB
Other than a meal with his family
& coz I had work today
I came out early
So i could fetch the car too

Custom was packed
Cars jammed up to the middle of the causeway
But luckily the bus lane was moving
& it didnt take long for me to reach Singapore

Thanks to the biometric passport
I skipped the hassle to queue
Heehee

Within an hour
I managed to reach Bugis by the Causeway Link bus

Damnit
Was pouring at bugis
& it was hard to fetch a cab
When I finally got onto one
The uncle was weird...

'Uncle, Ubi Road 1... '
'Industrial Estate wor...'
'Yah ah... got get my car'
'You no need to show off your car once you got up my car...'
'But Ubi there all do car parts one what...no meh?'


Uncle kept quiet
& I didnt bother to talk more

Car wasnt ready when I reached there
So gotta wait for 30mins
& I was late for work too, obviously

When the car came
It was so reflective!
As compared to the side of the car, which was not polished
It looks kinda funny
It's like... head & backside is sparkling clean but body dirty
Ha!
But at least those parts that are needed to be done were fixed properly
& so I headed off

I couldnt catch the biting point as I moved out of the garage
Slippers slippery
So it jerked violently
Sia suay myself in front of the mechanics
Sigh

I told myself to turn left once out of the estate
But I cant remember which junction
& so I turned at the 1st one
Which didnt look too familiar
Thinking that turning back right will be the correct direction
It seemed that I was heading north!

The roadsigns read 'Upper Paya Lebar Road'
'Upper Serangoon Road'
'Bartley Road'
& I knew I hor-laned in the instance
I knew I could get onto the PIE at Braddell but I donno how
So I kept heading straight

My eyebrows raised at every roadsign I passed
All looked unfamiliar
But at least I knew I wasnt heading the right way
I quickly sipped into a small road & head towards city
At then I realised I was at Whampoa

Whampoa
Hmmm... that's south
Probably heading straight will get me back home
I quickly searched at the street directory
PIE ahead
Great!

I saw a PIE sign, indeed
& so I turned
But it came out to a road which I entered
Which really puzzled me
If I go ahead
I'll be back north
& so I quickly turned back in
Made a loop
& back to the original road

Grrrr
Conned by a roadsign

Then I read 'Rangoon Road'
Hmmmmmmmm....
& then I saw ahead
IT"S LITTLE INDIA!!!!
Wooohoooo
I'm out I'm out!

Guess I was too excited
I forgot to change back to Gear 1 as I stopped at red light
& stalled
I started again
& I still didnt change gear
I stalled again
Geeezzzzz
Abit panicky
I quickly grab my gear stick to 1
& sped off

Luckily Little India wasnt crowded
I drove as slow as 40km/hr coz those Ah Peks on scooter never signaled
ZZZZZZZZZZ
As I saw Sim Lim Tower neon sign in front of me
I smiled to myself
Just a right turn & I will be back
I followed Bus 66
So no cars can cut my lane
^^

Once I exit Little India
I went all the way to clinic
Parked my car in the dark carpark
Luckily also safely parked

It was a big experience to me
Kinda scary though
DarDar was worried that I'll be squashed by big trucks & lorries at Ubi
But it seemed that Ubi was empty
& neighbourhood roads was busy like fuck

My 1st hor-lan trip
Donno if I should be proud of or not
