Mundane day of studying followed by a farewell supper at Conca's for Tiffany. (there was a farewell dinner before that but I was unable to make it) It was real fun just sitting down there chatting and interacting with Clifford, Tash, Tiffany, Issac, Geraldine, Sara and of course Joel. I don't really know all of them very well, for example, I haven't had much interaction with Issac, Tash and Clifford before today but I think they are all nice people. I'd definitely like to get to know them better. Photos will come up if I can "steal" them off the other's blogs.

Xiao Hui's car was showing some signs of trouble as I was nearing Conca's, and died completely when I got there. Panic, panic... Called Tsu Yao and asked him to call Xiao Hui to find out if she had RAC membership. (Roadside Assistance Commission, who helps you tow your car away), but she didn't. After a while, King Kong called me and tried to help me troubleshoot, but it didn't really help. Still appreciate it lots though.

After the supper, as we were leaving, the car managed to start, so I drove it home. Alas, it broke down near my house. (Only 3 traffic lights away!) Tried to start the car, before opening the hood in the pouring rain. Was just about to call my brother in law for help when he drove past with my sister. According to my sister, they were still wondering who it can be that "suay" to have a car breakdown at around 1am in the morning at a traffic junction. Tried to start the car again, but couldn't, and had to push the car to a nearby parking lot. Left the car there and went home. Car fixing will have to take place the next day... Dead tired...

I think I have really bad luck with cars. Perhaps it is just as well I don't get one. Sigh... Called Meisi to ask her how her day was, before giving Leen a long-promised call. Turns out that things were not too good on her end as well, as she just recently had a car accident and dented her Nissan "lao chio" (Latio) pretty badly. Couldn't talk to her for long as I was falling asleep, and she shooed me off to bed. So sorry gal, I'll catch you with you after my mid-sems.

Still feeling pretty down. Sianz sianz sianz...
