OOOOPPPPSSSS!!!!

*Ring* *Ring*

My phone rang and awoken me at about 8.30 AM.... I picked it up. It was H...

H - Err... I ran into some trouble...

Me - What trouble? (still sort of half asleep)

H - Err.. I came out to buy eggs for the boys' breakfast, and the car went into the drain.

Instantly, I sprang up from the bed!!

Well... we had given the driver the day off... and H drove the car out to the supermarket to get some eggs. As there was a road closure, he took a detour. The road was really really narrow, and somehow the right wheels of the car went into the drain! Had to call the Car Leasing company to sort it out. Tried calling our driver...but that fella turned his phone off!! Geram or not?? Poor H had to wait out in the sun for the car leasing guy, whom eventually turned up about 45 minutes later. He then walked home lor...

When the boys heard the news... one of the boys remarked "daddy tried to avoid a cat?"... I couldn't help laughing and told H that perhaps that he should tell people that he was a hero as he tried to avoid a cute little cat on the road, and that was why the car ended up in the drain! Hahahhaha...

Anyway, we have got a temporary replacement car for our use now.. So no big hiccup...other than leaving daddy with a RED face! heheheheh...

I wonder if the Car Leasing Company is going to BEG both of us NOT to drive anymore!!! Kekekek... Why? With me hitting a motorcyclist last November, and now with the car in the drain!!!

Winniethepooh - heheheh... he still drives a bit over the weekend lah. But think the road mus be really really narrow and he didn't see the longkang!

Sting - Yeah..he's okay. Car is not okay though! Just heard from the driver that our car needs to be repaired quite a bit and would take about more than a month!!

bp - The thing is luckily he didn't hit anybody. As that would complicate matters. No. he didn't have to walk too far lah.

That has always been my fear....driving into a hole/drain. And now it's actually happened to a male driver, kekeke!! Sorry for laughing....but I can just imagine his frustration when it happened (and I'm sure it wasn't funny at all, more like F^#*!!!)
