rainy CNY... and crowded Bugis Village...

Sigh... it has been raining on-off for the past few days... and recently, it has been drizzling and pouring....

Dated Kermit for shopping trip and dinner yesterday... and we decided to go check out Bugis Village. Heard its really cool with lots of small shops selling interesting stuff.


It was drizzling as usual...and when i was nearing Bugis, i got a shock!

Was surprised to see such a big Crowd!!! See?! The whole passenger crossing was JAMMED pack with ppl with umbrellas! They barely can move! the Green-man was blinking away while all of people started to push forward to cross the road. But as it was really JAMMED crowded and STUCK at the neck of the pedestrian crossing, the crowd hardly can move an inch. So both ways were sort of STUCK. poor them...

Anyway, i finally got a parking lot (after circling for mins!) and met Kermit for the shopping spree...

Before we started proper shopping (we browse around aimlessly at first), we decided to go had dinner! YUMMIE!

Disappointed though.. we went to the Japanese Street that used to be quite famous... but it was rather deserted that night... and my katsu don was terrible!!! the meat was... so FATTY and HARD!! was very disappointed... sigh... but good thing is, lucky we ordered umeshu (w soda), at least this was decent (altho too much soda!)...

Anyway, it was a good night out.. and i came home with 2 pairs of shorts and 2 dresses! =)

CNY in less than 2 weeks time!

woowoo! Time flies!! (such a cliche opening again!)

no CNY mood at all though... perhaps i shld take a walk along Chinatown??? and got crushed by human sea??? hahaha... am thinking hard about going... shld i go? or not?

and confirmed i cannot drive there.

have no idea what happen to drivers nowadays... there are so many accidents recently, especially after XMAS period. Every single day, there are massive jams on expressways, no matter whether its AYE, PIE or CTE. Wat ever "E", there's bound to be JAM!

i was meeting kermit for dinner one night, and i left office around 635pm, and guess wat? I was jam trapped along PIE for 1.5 hrs!!! And I reached Tampines ard 8pm! sigh... my leg kena crammed liao lor.. pain pain.. machiam like run 2.4KM like dat!

yawnz... every day i don feel like driving to work cos of the jam.. Jam aside, there are reckless drivers around.. Jam already still not enough, still wanna lang-ga pple and caused more jams!?!?! wat idiotic bastards (confirmed male drivers are the ones who CAUSED accidents)....

*complain complain complain*

hahahaha.... on a lighter tone, its CNY once again, and that means my birthday is coming!! TADAH! am gonna go BKK on 26-28 Feb! YOOHOO!!! HAPPY!!! =)

It was NYE!

And since I had half day, I decided to meet Lilian for lunch! Poor gal, she had to work till 3pm...

But anyway, I also stayed in the office till 2pm plus lor.. and the traffic was quite bad and it was drizzling... so i reached her place ard 3.30pm i think....

Was very happy to see her and chill with her... I was famished! So we went Downtown East to have a quick bite... =)

chained collision... sighz... on a rainy day!






11 Jan 2011... wat a "auspicious" day! 11.1.11

was innocently driving to work this morning under some mid-heavy rain that suddenly i got a shock!



BIG BANGGGG!!! And i screamed immediately! it was so loud! Was shocked cos when I slowed down to stop at the traffic jam, I saw via my rear mirror that the mazda car behind me stopped as well. So I didn't expect the BANG!

At that moment, I was stoned... luckily I instinctively jammed my brake so that luckily I didn't hit the car in front of me. I guess that car driver in front of me must be breathing "WAH SEH! Heng ar!!" and drove off....




sigh...
it was raining leh! i had to quickly search for my umbrella and got out into the rain! sigh.. and i saw 2 guys talking it out... HEY! WTF did u guys do to me!!!?? i am just a 小女人 leh! I really donno how to settle such stuff de lor!!!




And anyway, cut the story short... Another surprise for me! Another guy suddenly appeared from NOWHERE and told us what to do... hmmm... was he in the same car as the "accidenter" (the last car tat caused the accident.. and the JAM along PIE!!!)??
then i realised that this guy.... he is frm a car workshop company!!




WAU LAU EH!!! His job scope include "standby-ing" along PIE or AYE during rainy days to see if any one need help during accidents?!?!?!?!
He appeared almost like 5 min after our crash!!! WAU! So efficient!!! And he is quite a salesman too.. Kept persuading us to send our car IMMEDIATELY to HIS workshop and he can settle every paperwork for us! WAU ZAN!!!




But too bad... mine is company car lah... pai seh.. he still called me to ask if i still need his service.. but i kindly rejected him cos... i got no choice mah... anyway, heard the 2nd car went to his workshop... ok lah... at least he got a business deal... if not quite wasted for him to stand in the rain with us... hehehhaaa...




anyway... my car is still not repaired yet... need to wait for my company authorised workshop to settle with the other party's insurance company.
My car got a dent at the back... at first i tot the damage is ok.. but after close look, it is quite bad... i had difficulty closing my boot cos of the dent and the tail lights were crooked!




sigh... =(
