let me share two happy things that happened today.
well.
we were suppose to have a final story pitch and this pitch will determined if we made it or not. (if we made it we can pitch to the singapore film commission)
and so today we pitched
and for a while each of us sat there, talking about politics and the world and finally andy broke to us.
andy: you're in. you can pitch on monday.. but don't disappoint me!
YEAH YEAH YEAH.
i am so happy i think i could have screamed. okay jump for joy.
okay the second thing.
so when i head to my car (been driving to school pretty much this two weeks) i got a shocked of my life
my wheel was clammed and to release it i needed to pay a hundred dollar fine.
omg omggggggg.
that's like omg rightttt seriously.
even if you dont put coupon only fine 30 bucks now its like a 100 bucks thing.
and then you know what keep coming into my mind?
indra's word.
indra's my classmate who drives to school everyday.
so a couple of days back i asked him
g: so indra, dont you ever get fined?
i: nope
g: but you drive to school everyday. what are the chances of you getting the green coupon. out of ten times?
i: 10 times.
THE GREEN COUPON IS A WARNING LETTER BTW. np issue that out to you when you park in their red lots.
so when you hear someone who drives to school so frequently and don't ever get fine, ofcourse you listen to them right?
I DID.
AND I STILL GOT THE MY WHEEL CLAMMED.
so i head down to the estate management office to speak my case.
this nice malay dude was explaining very nicely about the case and that once they had my wheel clammed i HAD to pay the fine.
once clammed = must pay.
but ofcos to me, there's no such logic. there's always a way out.
so i politely asked to speak to another person with a higher authority.
this lady i forgot her name.
here hows it went or roughly.
g: hi. (shake her hand) my name is regina and i am currently studying in chapman university. well, my wheel was clammed and i just wanna say that its my bad. the whole thing was my fault. i parked 3 consequetive days. but what i wanna say is. i had the car for 3 days since my dad's sick and i didnt find it reasonable to pay 80 bucks for a semester parking.
lady continues to listen
g: so i know i am wrong so i did put HDB parking coupons to show that i really needed the space (ofcos this was a..white lie)
lady chuckles. malay guy also chuckles. porky who was with me told me she wanted to lie when i said that because that doesn't prove anything. but it really does.
WHY?
the last time i didnt have night coupon i place day coupons as a replacement i got away.
so there's the logic behind.
put better then dont put.
put fine 6 bucks, dont put fine 30. get it?
so anyw she went on and on about how i was warned w all the green slips and how it was highlighted in red.
BTW i am such an ass. those green slips, i left it on my windscreen even after i drove out of school. HEHE
so back to the topic.
throughout i was sincere in my apologies and when i told her i only drove consequtively for 3 days. she didn't believe and even called my dad to check. and you know, i don't lie except for the white lie and so it was proven that i really drove my dad's car and not some other car.
so now she trust me.
after getting her to trust me.
once again i apologize and share w her one secret about Indra.
HEHE because she said 2 times and my wheel will be clammed and i ask her why my friend park until now never got clammed.
ofcourse i didnt reveal indra's name or where he parked. HEHHEHE.
so right now she knows im sincere and just an ignorant kid.
i end of saying..
i know this is an impossible task of waiving off the fine. but i assure you, i will never parked at np red lots again know the consequences.
and i flash her my ...smile.
she asked me to give her a minute. in which i ofcourse.
during that minute me and porky were debating about......the results.
and you know what.
THE NICE LADY WAIVE OFF MY FEES.
a hundred bucks okay.
i could have been a hundred bucks poorer if not for my mouth :)
ahhhhhhhh
today's really a fine day.
