The Most Expensive 5mins of my Life

Went to watch "March of the Emperor" yesterday......good movie........not your regular movie fare though......artsy film.......

anywayz, to the @#$@$!@!@#$%~!!!!! part

some of the most stupid things exist in this world.......or rather, maybe they are the smartest things........

how can any1 be so dumb as to place the parking charges sign right at the gantry to the carpark?
bloody smart ass money leeching blood suckers in Ngee Ann City........and nvm, they place it such that it is only possible to read the sign from the driver side window when you pull up at the gantry........

i.e. u have no choice but to drive into the carpark whether u like the parking charges ornot

they mus have done it on purpose........

k lah, so maybe im the dumbass for not being savvy enuf abt parking charges in orchard.......but im entitled to gripe abt the unfairness of this world and wistfully wish for the sanity and perfectness of an ideal world........

back to the topic, one would expect the existence of a grace period non-charge in all carparks......it's only logical that way.........but.....

Ngee Ann City carpark DOESN'T

i paid $1.58 jus to have a go at Ngee Ann City's carpark race track........my time ~5mins, top speed 10km/h, and i didnt even complete the lap........ >:(

$1.58 for 5 bloody mins.........alittle bit of simple math would show that would amount to a salary of $3k+ a mth working 7hrs/day, 5days/wk.........

i dun even get anywhere close to a quarter of that amount.....:(

that wasnt the end of it.....

eventually decided to park at the open air public carpark beside cineleisure......and......yea, i saved on the parking charges........but the money saved wasnt enuf to pay for my hospitalisation fee when i saw it after the movie........

there were a total of 13 bird shit stains........on. my. car. 13. THIRTEEN. 1.3. T-H-I-R-T-E-E-N or W-T-F for short.

and all together now..........@#$^#$&^#$&*#%^*$%*$!$@~$@#^$*&%^&#$&~~~!!!!! >:(
