My First Whizzcar Drive


Today i rented a car from Whizzcar Car rental and drove all around Singapore all alone.
I was so scared i couldnt even pluck enough courage to drive out of the 5 storey carpark.
But with enough will power..... i finally plucked enough courage to drive out.
I guess i was scared coz i was driving alone for the first time.
Usually someone is beside me when i drive.

It was a real eye opener for me coz i was near accident a few times.... luckily i return the car in one piece.

1st) I break last minute coz i last min saw the traffic light turn red....my bag flew off the car seat.
2nd) I tried to change lane on the left.....then a taxi was going into that lane too... i didnt check and he horned me so loudly.I was afraid i decide not to change lane.
3rd) I was so close to a bus.....almost hit in on the left...luckily no....

Nevertheless i made an achievement.... i manage to find my way through reading road signs.... i'm so bad at reading the street directory....though i brought it along wif me.

I drove from Clementi to my home.....before home i made a trip to the petrol station to fill up full tank. The tank cap couldnt be opened....so tight i guess...luckily one of the pump attendant manage to open it at last. After that i wanted to drive off but my car wouldnt go.... only to realise later that i didnt turn the ignition key properly....but the engine was on...so malu man....i have such bad car knowledge.

After that i drove to bishan....then u-turn and drove all the way to paya lebar via normal road not highway....i was driving straight all the way when i reached a point i dont know how to turn back.
Luckily i saw PIE......I decide to turn in and drive the car to clementi....
I was too early when i reached clementi...so i drive around clementi and practiced my parking (twice). Once in a carpark in clementi....once in the carpark i collect my car.

When i returned the car... i made a wrong turn...end up cannot drive upwards...
Had a hard time trying to reverse the car but later managed to drive my way up....
I will make sure i dont miss the entry point next time.....

Before returning the car i took a few pictures......loved the car man....wished i had one...but no....
Nevermind at least i achieved something today...to drive alone without someone guiding me.....hehehe....

10th Sep 2008......Break Fast at sakura city hall



I went out wif my poly friend yesterday..... She has grown prettier and lost a bit of weight.... As for me.....darker eye bags and more pimples....sob sob....

Havent met her since last year dec..... long time.....

We Break Fast together at sakura thai/chinese restaurant.

She last min had to come late coz her sis forgot to bring house keys.So i decided to book a place first at the restaurant.I was intensely shocked when i entered the restaurant.I was asked to leave by 6.45pm as they have a function by then..... i calmed down and ask...i'm here to break fast. They replied....oh...break fast.... then u need to book a place. Then i realise the function they were having was Break Fast for the muslims.....i felt relieved. I booked a place and went shopping as it was 6.20 then.....7.06pm was break fast time.

My fren arrive about 7pm.We were not allowed to enter the restaurant yet.... we waited till 7pm b4 they let us in. Short while after we were seated...the restaurant was full of people....

Amazing...usually not that crowded.... furthermore its a weekday. Syukur alhamdulilah murah rezeki restaurant owner tu.

After break fast we walked from city hall to marina square while chatting all the way.

Finally we rested near the F1 race location and took a few pictures like the one on the left.

We chat for a while and head on home.

It was a fruitful outing...
