post-script

Driving home from Bukit Timah, that is my mother drove me not mois because mois is still immature, lacking of judgement,underage and cannot trust oneself to not loose control of the car by stepping on the accelerator instead of the brakes.

Yar, so we were going home when the stupid expressway was conjested.
You know what, screw my chim words and expressions.

The stupid expressway was all jamed up so my mum used the KPE. For those people who have no idea what in the hell is KPE due to the fact that your parents keep you locked up in a cave where you cant have any contact with the stupidity in the real world, it is an underground expressway which many motorists avoid using even how jamed the other roads are which im going to explain to you why so.

Bright orange lights greeted us like candles on a cake waiting to be blown out when we entered the tunnel. Seconds passed by and the first signboard revealed itself.

It read '70km/h' Somemore hor, the '70' was engraved with itsy-bitsy light bulbs. You know the ones usuall used for advertisments on building where the words are all litted up, once in the while keep changing colour and blinking musically?

Yar, anyways it was like that but my mum was way out of 70, she was close to a 100. I reminded her but she did not seem to hear me so I just let it be.

Then after 5 secs, another signboard prompted me to remind her again. it read 'Speed camera ahead' So i was like 'Mummy! Got camera leh!' My mum then finally began to slown down.

At 80km/h, a sudden flash of bright white light burst forth that shocked son and mother. Like retards, we straightaway looked up , thinking that there's a hole in the car ceiling. I thought we were struck by lightning, my mum thought a bulb blew.

As I started looking around, checking if anything was allright, the truth dawned on my mum.

Her sudden erected and upright posture and wide eyes expression suddenly shrivelled into a sheepish state, with her hands placed loosely over the steering wheel. Grinning like a goon, she said ''Cham liao, sure kena fine."

The flash of light was actually from the speed camera. As it is underground, the flash function has to be on and it just took the car's plate number as my stubborn mother did not listen to me and did not decelerated to 70km/h on time. See lar! Dun listen lar! Be subborn lar!

Then hor, so funny you know. She was like "Huh...the fine is hefty! How?"
Then she started praying as though she is praying for the sick. You know when she prays for people like maybe my father she'll go like ''Dear heavenly, I lift Tony Lim Chee Jian to your hands" or she'll go like ' Let Mary Teo Pei Ling be touched by you' if she's praying for my grandmother. So now she went like this 'O Lord, please forgive me for the mistake I've made.I ask that the fine would be a reasonable amt Father, please spread your hand over S9347XXX and pray that S9237XXX blahblahblah."

Siao lor! Like the car got soul.
