Escaping terror of me own doing, more like. Yesterday was such a divvy. I was a divvy, me. Nonetheless, it’s such a worthy case of experience. Better stick it into your heads, mates. Next time, when you come across a red light, PLEASE BLOODY STOP.
And I wasn’t. You see, my car insurance and road tax expired on last Friday. But I wasn’t quick enough to do my bidding. I let go Friday thinking I could always do it the next day. Codswallop! Didn’t know (or crap enough not knowing about it!) that they’re having some flashharry party on Saturday while I left to rotten alone with my now-illegal car covered with now-invalid car insurance and now-expired road tax. Thing was that, they’re closed on the first and third week every month, the bank and the insurance company.
3 stinking days to wait until the much-awaited day appeared (that was Monday the yesterday although I did not really recalled myself rejoicing when every other Monday came)
So with my good driver conscience, I went yesterday to renew mine. Everything’s banging except when I took a turn to the bank (for road tax renewal and all). There was this traffic light with hundreds of cars congested like hungry ants on left over toffees. Stuck there for almost twenty minutes. Smashing record of nearly a half hour!!
Being in a hurry, with the other cars kept honking; I was indeed getting impatient. Thus when chances came, I just ignored the yellow-turned-red light but drove on and relieving the prospect of laughing those who couldn’t make it. Two cars (a MERCEDES and a HONDA) followed closely behind. And funnily yeah, I would have the last laugh.
There, not very far from us, two traffic policemen stood unmoving like some giants ready to catch and swallow us. One of them waved slowly (but firm) so that our cars moved to the roadside. I drove like it was my first driving session, obediently and so innocently.
But hey, the policeman took no notice of me. He moved towards THAT two cars (MERC and HONDA) and his mate urged me to drive on.
Was I so lucky? (HO HO!)
Or was it because of my MALAYSIAN car?
Or was it because those policemen have got some bad experiences with MERC and HONDA drivers before? Perhaps they lose to them during one of those car racing err.. err.. car chasing last time?
Anyway, think of the consequence of my car being stopped. I might be charged with several offends :- No road tax for three days, ignoring the traffic light, and may be punching the police man for not letting me go and renewing my road tax... or worse, I could kill them!
I could end up my days counting the number of visitors visiting me in the prison. Sigh....
Nasty thought, eh? But that doesn’t mean I was so jolly for escaping the law that I straightaway changed the Clutter World lay out. No.. The idea of changing the template came before the incident. Though I wouldn’t denied the experience has got some role in my being today, if not the trauma. (You kidding! Who would?)
Some BLOGGERS experience a degree of difficulties when browsing through OLD Clutter World and hence the new lay out. But I do miss the little boy picture sitting near the pond. A good friend of mine, said that she liked the old Clutter World BLOG better. She also said that the colour tone was softer before. Err.. err.. I am speechless and have nowt to say....
I guess I couldn’t satisfy every body, could I?
Ah! And if you still thinking that I am a bad person and deserve a summon at the VERY least; well TA-NO-END, then...
But TA VERY MUCH!
