Being a lone chick lady tutor driving on the fast lanes of Singapore’s roads, Miss Loi can sometimes attract a bit of unwanted attention – be it from P-Plate newbies admiring her high-G overtaking manoeuvres on their left, or Ah Bengs in their turbocharged cars challenging her to a race, or the hordes of cheekopek uncles staring out from nearby coffeeshops whenever she stops by the roadside newsstand to buy her Lianhe Wanbao.
When last night’s joss sticks sessions ended early, Miss Loi did a quick calculation by plotting some distance/speed/acceleration-time graphs, and by assuming that the number of P-Plate road-hoggers on the roads at the time followed a discrete probability distribution (though in reality it’s probably a continuous probability distribution), decided there was still enough time to make a dash for the closing stages of the IT Show.
Her decision was fully vindicated when, after parking her car at her usual spot, she managed to breeze through two levels of exhibition halls and bought her ultra-cheap Fujifilm FinePix Z5 in under an hour, with none of the insane crowd (described here and here) present.
Thoroughly satisfied with her evening’s achievement, Miss Loi returned to her usual spot only to be surprised that some chap had left a note asking her out for a date …
How sentimental.
… with the courts.
Oh she forgot to mention in the first para that she’s pretty popular with the boys from a certain government agency too. So now Sergeant Ang has just found himself a new rival.
And unlike the traditional dating game, the girl (i.e. Miss Loi) has to pay $70 in order to reject this date.
Thank You, SERGEANT BENEDICT KHO, for upgrading the price of her low-end camera to a mid-range one. Where’s your sense of sympathy, especially when Suntec City’s carparks were all jam-packed?!
There goes another of her ‘usual spots’. 😥

You could have just taken the MRT you know... Novena to City Hall is just under 10 mins via MRT, and the walk via the Citylink underground shopping place is about 5 mins (if you're not in high heels, or no slowpokes block your way)
Hmmm that gives me an idea.. I should leave a note on your car windscreen sometime.... *wink*

Aaron + Biinary: What to do? Who ask Miss Loi to be so 'popular'?
Blabberer: Paste all over the windscreen??? How to drive????
FoxTwo: Need to bring books and worksheets home to mark, so this $70 just saved Miss Loi from having to: walk to MRT -> take MRT -> walk to Suntec and back -> take MRT -> walk to Temple to take books/worksheets -> walk to car. Sounds quite worth it afterall ... hmmm ...

Wow..... that one is issued by TP leh. Not those contract companies that gov engaged.
Limited edition ok. Nowadays TP seldom issue these already. Mostly is those companies issue on TP behalf. lol....

Darth: Miss Loi treats this more like freight charges for her new camera than a parking ticket.
FoxTwo: Oh thanks for undoing all of Miss Loi's self-consolation effort!
DK: If that's the case then the fine should be lower since we've skipped all the middlemen! In any case, she should probably get this 'limited edition' framed up ... and maybe hang it on The Temple.

Bengz ... are you the Ah Beng from here?
You've finally gotten your $12k??? *rubs hands in glee*
Anyway, Miss Loi is considering whether or not to put up this blog's address on the car, so that any TP/policeman wishing to summon her may think twice as his name will surely end up here for all to see! Hmmmph!
