notice of a parking offence
description: stopping within a demerit points 'no stopping zone'

RAAAAAHHHHH! drove to town last night to catch a midnight movie - the 3hr-long Kingdom of Heaven - and went to the kopitiam at selegie for supper.

we parked along waterloo street, on DOUBLE YELLOW ZIGZAG lines (whatever they are officially named)...the brief thought that this was wrong flew out the window...coz hey, 3 cars leh - strength in numbers, somemore we parked where the road ends and the construction work starts - not obstructing anything!...plus ian has always parked there and escaped unscathed.

ooooo the feeling of walking nonchalently towards the car after supper, eyes-widening when you see that alien piece of paper kiap-ed by the windscreen wiper, the slow-motioned "NOOOOOOOOOOO" screaming in your head, the reaching out with trembling hands, the words on the paper jolting you into the darkest of moods...

my mum didn't help much, giving that exasperated look when i showed her the paper, and telling me that it's at least a $150 fine plus demerit points.

argh bloody annoying...whywhywhy does this have to happen!? damn stupid, damn sway!!!!!! now my parents will have one more excuse for not letting me drive out.
