*breathes in deeply*

This is the post that has been erased, out of trace from Blogger yesterday night. I have to re-type this out, which I think I will make it shorter than the original..sigh..

Firstly, the two topics are not related to one another. I need to blog about my drive from Pasir Ris to Bugis because it was really a scary ride (not that I'm the driver but of the worst case scenario situaton I was in). This actually happened on 16th September, which is like 2 weeks ago..

We actually woke up really early to sent our parents off to the airport where they're going on a week's trip to China. My elder sister drove us to the Pasir Ris Park for some cycling fun and we had a good time cycling. I managed to cycle through the park even after a half year hiastus of cycling.

Then, my elder sister drove us to White Sands to have our lunch and from there, XB and I told her that we need to go to bugis (XB to KKnM while I to my school). Problem was that she didn't know how to drive from Pasir Ris to Bugis. So, she actually suggested that I drive instead.

Now, I did not agree immediately because:
a) I haven't been touching the car since more than half a year ago
b) I didn't like driving the car when my parents are around because they would nag and make loud noises in the car if I made a mistake and that distracts and irritates me
c) I'm told by the CNY chinese horoscope that I need to be careful of road safety this year.

But due to the fact that I'm going to be late for my lesson, I decided to gamble it all and drive. Problem 1 came while inside the White Sands's carpark. Everything is smooth until I reached the exit where I had to slot in the cashcard into the deduction machine at the side. I stopped the car, slided open the window and stretched my hand to the machine.

There is like a 2 inch gap between the machine and the card. OMG!!! T_T

So I had to remove my seatbelt, open the door, reached out to slot in the card. Feeling very embarassed because, the passengers of my car are laughing loudly at me, the cars are waiting at the back and I felt like a total idiot.

Once its done, in my haste to get out of the situation, I pulled down the hand brake, stepped on the engine pedal hard and loudly, but forgot to change my gear to the 1st. So the car won't move.-____-''

In the end, my laughing elder sister had to help me change my gear and then we're off, out of the carpark which is my least favorite now. -___-''

Anyway, we stopped by my elder sister's boyfriend's place to drop him off, then proceeded to drive to Bugis. My initial route was from PIE, exit Stevens road, which is the one and only route I know of.

But when we'd drove up to the expressway,

TRAFFIC CONGESTIONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~ T___T''

From Eunos all the way to CTE, the expressway was packed jammed with cars. And driving a manual car is totally troublesome in a conjestion. 1st gear, 2nd gear, stop the car. Switched back to 1st gear, move, stop again. Repeat process throughout the whole 15 minutes in the expressway.

So in the end, we decided to go by what sis's boyfriend's father suggested and exited by Paya Lebar. There, the roads are so crowded and fast that changing lanes is a nightmare. A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE TO ME!! I was like "uncle, let me go first, please please please" in my mind whenever I wanted to change lanes.

Driving towards North Bridge road is easier as I past through the Geylang area where the area are less conjested during the day. And so, I finally reached Bugis..phew...

But it really is a horrible drive because I couldn't stop my hands from shaking even after I entered my class 30 minutes late. I was too freaked out by the whole conjestion and the crowded roads of Paya Lebar...sigh..

Anyway, last Saturday was a really really fun day for me. Although it started off with a Business Policy test, I headed off to Kbox Cineleisure where Benita, Dan, XB, Gabriel, Oni and John are already at. And so we spent a short time singing mandarin tracks and a few english songs before we ended the session.

Then, we met up with Requiem and Osaka and walked to Heeren for a neoprint session. Its only the girls who did the neoprints lah..and it was SOOO FUN!!! HAHAHA...we did an Air gear Kogaramasu chibified pose, a BuHAHAHA Bleach pose, Act cool and one act cute pose which Dan, after much hesitation, decided to do it just for Benita.

AHHAA...Really fun ne minna~! And the game we played suggested by Benita is really crazy!!! HAHAAH...Although it was quite a short outing, I really loved it alot and I hoped that when Ben comes back, we go for a long kbox session and take more neoprints too!! >__<'' But that would be in three months time ne~ XD!!!
