while moving what remained of my belongings from hall yesterday, i discovered that i was rambo. i single-handedly shifted everything down 4 storeys to my car. arms felt like jelly after the 3rd/4th trip because i would load up on all my stuff until i had no more room on my arms for an additional plastic bag.
as i was convinced of my invincibility after i lugged everything down without the help of a male friend or a bf, i decided to take the short cut down to marianne's block via the quadrangle. it was a pretty bad idea as i was in pok slippers, i ended up tearing up half the grass up as i slipped and slid down the grass slope.
the real excitement began after we moved everything out. we decided to go for supper to reward ourselves so we went to clementi central. if i were a guy, i would now swear on my balls i will never park my car there again. as i was parking my car, i noticed there were a hell lot of birds overhead in the tree. and they were making a fucking lot of noise at bleddy 11 plus. which was why i couldn't hear the warning beeps one usually hears when one is reversing. when i heard the sickening sound of metal screeching, my heart stopped and i frigging wanted to die.
once the car was parked i got down to inspect it and i saw nothing wrong with it. apart from the 10000 or so bird shit stains that suddenly appeared on my car within the 20 seconds i used to park it. then suddenly, the birds in the trees decided to have collective diarrhoea so my car was COVERED in bird shit. that was when i got to use the new phrase i learnt from shu quan on tuesday. i think the people in the srrounding area would have heard my anguished cries of, "pua ji bye! wah lan!"
drove back to nus to return some library books then i got down and looked at the car again. this time, i saw the damned scratch. or rather, scratches. wanted to keel over and die just then. first time i take the car out by myself, i reversed into a van and bleeding scratched it. lum pah.
went to kap to have a drink and through out the drive there my heart was bleeding for the car. totally wanted to cry. parked like some female noob driver because we had half an hour to get a drink before the carpark closed the exits. as we were walking back the our cars, there were a couple of guys ahead of us. i am pretty sure they were laughing at my awful parking because about half bonnet was out of the lot and the car was slanted like siao.
i am finally home and i discovered that my mum is also rambo. she is a 50 plus year old woman who is a head shorter than me but she is strong. it must be all the heavy lifting she had to do as she was carrying me when i was a baby. i will now shower because i stink to high heaven and sandflies have decided their new home will be my legs. goodnight.
our day will come.
