Today, approximately just after 7pm, I was waiting for my colleague Jillian & Shirley after work because erm.. we are like the powerpuff girls. Where there is Bubbles, there will always be Buttercup & Blossom. Well, actually, I was suppose to be waiting for Jillian because her husband, Mr Lim’s car, got into an accident and I was supposedly to fetch her back home. Anyway, at the end of the day, Mr Lim fetched me back (well, literally) instead.

So, after waiting for the past 10-15 minutes, 3 of us headed to our parking lots at Level 6 and was surprised to see some of my colleagues who actually said their good-byes much earlier this evening. So after the much teasing and joking, all of us went to our invidual cars and started driving off. THAT’S when my nightmare started…

When my car started moving, I new instantly something was wrong. The whole car was jerking, not moving smootly, had loud noises coming from the back and I was utterly speechless.

Me : Did you hear anything or am I imagining things?
Jill : Yes. Its very noisy and its coming from behind

We stopped the car pull and release handbrake again and shifted to D gear and started the car and again, the same jerking and noises. This time, I panicked and got down to see if it was a flat tyre. Checked all 4 and could not detect the problem. Parked one side and quickly thought of my guy colleague, Yeap who just left not long ago. Quickly dailed his number and asked for S.O.S.

Me : Something is very wrong with my car and I don’t know what it is!

Yeap : Where are you now?

Me : I’m still in the parking lot

Yeap : OK, I come back

0_0!! Phew, thank god. Now its the waiting period. Me and Jill got down to car and checked the all for tyres again. Throughout the waiting period which seems like eternity, another colleague, Rajoo came and was about to get his car too. Then when he saw 2 damsel in distress, he came over and checked out what the whole issue was about.

I stared and stared at my car tyres then suddenly it hit me. Where in the world is my car hub! Actually, I lost one side of it long time ago in a minor car accident. Then now suddenly, its all 4 missing. SOMEONE stole my tyre hub! Damn it. Then, very slowly, it hit me again. I was looking at the right hind of my car tyre and suddenly WHAT HAPPENED TO 3 OF MY CAR TYRE NUTS?! WTF!!!

Then suddenly again, all the lights wewre turned on. Rajoo suggested that it was because of the car tyre’s nuts were missing that was causing all the noises and jerking. Because of this, my car tyre was kemek one side already due to the pressure that I gave when I drove it for a moment.

Then… my hero of the day, Yeap came. We told him our hypothesis and checked if he thought it was true. Then, he brought us to the car shop to get some nuts. Then he got off to work starting by screwing back the nuts together. It was then that we realized that the stupid buggle loosen all the nuts. Can you imagine anyone doing that to me?

Everyone in my office going back home saw the commotion and asked me if I hurt anyone lately. Me? Who poor innocent me? I really can’t imagine anyone that would have done that. The situation didn’t help much with my dad deducing the below conclusion

Dad : It must be someone targeting you already. No one steals one tyre’s 3 nut. Better be careful and go report police. Make sure that on your way back, no one is following you. If anyone tries to bang your car, go to the nearest police station

Ok… This is very scary. I’m already getting wild imaginations thanks to my dad. Anyway, after all the hardwork, I feel indebted to my hero of the day. On top of everything else, after that Mr Lim actually escorted me back home all the way on the other side of the city because of the request from my very dear friend Jill. They were afraid that my dad’s story plot might be true and feared for my safety. Moreover, I could not dail for help because of all the days, my hp batteries failed me.

So, after all the very exciting night I had, I couldn’t really bite on any dinner my mom cooked. I thought its really a bad luck day because of all the staff’s car, why mine? We actually joked perhaps they were trying to hit of Yeap’s car (I was parking next to him) but because his nuts were screwed in by machine and needed special lock, they decided mine was an easier target.

But guess what? I was checking my mail and suddenly I realized I won 5th prize in one of the lucky draws! Is that a blessing in disguise? So my bad luck night turned out to be a scary night after all!

I just wanted to express my very much billion and gazillions of thank you to Yeap, Jill & Mr Lim for their company. Thank you so much. So its Don Sushi’s on me tomorrow lunch ya!

P/s : Anyone wanna buy number?
