There's Always a First.

What a horrible way to start the day.

I was honked at by another driver and when I looked at him, he pointed at my car and drove off.

Very helpful -.-

I couldn't pull over as I was approaching the tolls and as I drove on, a car flashed at me several times. I know! I know! There's something wrong with my car but I don't know what it is!!

Luckily, this guy rolled his window down and as did I, and he yelled to me that my tyre was punctured.

O.M.G. I've never experienced being in a car with a punctured tyre before.

I wanted to pull over into the emergency lane, but there was a swarm of motorcyclists. When I was finally able to get in, I got honked at by those behind me, and one actually slowed down and hit the bonnet of my car with his hand.

WtF! What am I supposed to do?! I'm not pulling over to put my makeup on you turd.

Anyway, obviously I called my papa, and coincidentally a highway patroller also stopped and helped us change my tyre.

As I had to rush to a meeting, I took off in my papa's car and left him with mine.

*sob*

I felt so terrible, as if I messed things up and left him behind to clean it up for me.

*sob*

I am so thankful that I have my papa to take care of things for me.

Anyway, this totally ruined my entire day. I was feeling bad, stressed up (the stress rash on my arm flared up like a big red STOP sign), and I was in shock.

Call me naive, but whenever I encounter unkindness and meanness (e.g. the motorcyclist who slapped my car), I find it very difficult to swallow.

Just like the guy who overcharged me for a durian because I was with foreigners. I hope my curse worked and he's choking on a durian thorn now.

I know that there are a lot of bad people out there, but I can hardly believe it when I actually witness it with my own eyes. It's unfathomable to me that anyone would act with such unkind intentions.

Anyway, many lessons learnt.

Sigh. Emo time.
