you will not imagine what a horrifying frenzy i had today just coz of this piece of plastic on the right

was @ XXX meeting my church mates and after happily shopping for presents and 2 cool hats!! (actually one of it is not quite a hat.. but... whatever.. dunno what it's called) and was happily walking over to the car and wanting to drive home... guess what?

I have absolutely NO IDEA that i have got no cashcard in the cashcard reader and have absolutely NO IDEA why i was able to enter the carpark in the first place!!! which seriously was the main reason that landed me in real deep trouble!! coz... after driving down the spiral slope carpark to exit... i was stuck at the gantry with cars flowing down from my behind and sideways waiting to exit as well??

At the gantry, was where the real DRAMA begins.. i was puzzled why the barrier remained while i drove my car forward... then when i lifted up the flap that covered my cashcard reader.... i was absolutely FLABBERGASTED to realised there was NO CASHCARD!!! i definitely think that the camera that was positioned directly at my face recorded my horrified face.. and the subsequent drama i had in my car while i called and spoke to 3 key people...

I called home... after the ringing tt felt like forever, my sis answered.. I shouted "where's mum?!' she said, 'she went out'.. I shouted " she went OUT where's the cashcard do you know where I am?? i'm stuck here in this..................... AHH!HH!H!H HELP!!! ok bye! help me GET HER!'

I called my dad (coz although i know he is unrelated to this matter, i would rather call him- co-owner of the car, rather than call my mum - main user of the car, coz my mum NEVER answer calls) after 1 sec of ringing my dad answered 'what?' i wailed in a terribly desperate voice 'daddy where's the cash card' my dad said 'I dunno huh.. your mum drive dunno where she take out?' i continued wailing 'Help..... do you know where i am?? i cannot get out.... i cannot U turn.. it's a spiral slope.. i'm stuck.. help.....!!! ' in an almost gonna cry state... my dad sense my desperation - so even with his usual firm stance, he soften and tried to gave me some silly suggestions like: 'nvm.. go and BUY a cash card' I wailed' I cannot i cannot.. i dunno how to turn out.. it's a spiral slope.. cars are flowing behind.. sideways there's car.. i cannot turn ouT help!!!! then dad tried again saying ' or you ask the person to lift up the barrier to let you go then you pay them cash' & I retorted 'no body.. no body.. no guard down here!!!!!!!! ' and he went on... 'press the telecom & speak to the security... ' & I looked around frantically and wailed ' no telecom no telecom ahhhhh uhhhh help help help... daddy... boohoo... ok BYE! ' - I was too frantic to keep talking on the phone while cars whiz me by - THANKFULLY there was another lane for them to exit. if not, i think the entire carpark would tremble with 10000 cars honking at me!

I called the last person- my mum... after 2 sec of ringing, miraculously, she answered 'hello' i yelled 'WHERE's the CASHCARD' sensing the alarm raised.. she said nervously 'ahem.. i took it out coz.. ' without waiting for her to finish i yelled 'WHAT!' and rattled... ' you didn't tell me, do you know where I am now?? you.. ..................... ahhhhhhH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH! BYE!'

after this last call, i said a prayer and put my gear to reverse, attempting to try to get out of the spiral slope carpark gantry to park my car again and BUY A CASH CARD!

well yes.. actually that's not the end of the story... after God's divine hands upon me to allow me to safely reverse with lines of cars waiting and eyes staring at me.. (not to forget actually the camera that has been capturing my every dramatic expression from the above 3 conversation) SUDDENLY, while i managed to reverse and was turning into the carpark again, a man out of no where, opened a door somewhere near the gantry, with an amused face, walked towards my car and kind of stopped me. I was like .. NOW WHAT? am i gg to be caught

so I wind down my car window- already face almost all GREEN.. tried hard to appear cool and normal to understand what on earth is he trying to say to me.. to cut the long story short- he offered me to use his cashcard to get out and for me to pay him cash.. BUT coz i was in a state of shock and dun really know who he is and what he is talking abt, i just told him 'i'm gg to buy a cash card' . LATER, as i reflected, i think he said he is working there- which probably means, he could be the man behind those cameras witnessing the entire saga of conversation with dramatic facial expressions in my car- which explains his amused look while walking towards me tt doesn't make sense considering the severity of the matter..

well.. ok forget it.. my reputation is ruined.. & i've further convinced men out there that women are lousy drivers.. coz actually I do agree I am.. but sorry ladies.. i've let you down.. i've allowed men to perpetuate the sweeping statement of how lousy women drivers are... SORRY!!! *sob* but ok... I got the card and I got out of the carpark! finally!!!!!!!!! subsequently trying to calm myself down to focus on driving home safely to prevent more stressful events like crashing into another car or what

*whew*
