The weekend II

When our cleaner left at 5pm, we went to Orchard. Actually, we didn't have anything to go for in town and this trip's more for me to get familiarised with the routes, so I was the driver today - my first drive to Orchard Road! :D

I would say driving down to this part of town is a 'challenge' to an inexperienced driver - fast moving vehicles and many 'connecting points' at the highway(TPE, CTE) to watch out for, many vehicles and impatient drivers in town, traffic jam, etc, etc.
We parked at CK Tangs(I found out today that there're actually 2 exits at Tangs building - 1 to scotts road and the other is this nutmeg road's but they will both lead to the same place except that the one via nutmeg road is much 'narrower' but shorter. Most wld choose the scotts road one I suppose) and as usual, daddy told me to go via the nutmeg road exit(cos he see no point going one big round to the same location) and there was some road construction going on directly opposite the exit(there always seem to be some road construction there, I dunno why) and with the machinery stationed sooo near the exit, it was almost impossible to get out(well, perhaps at least for me hahaha), good thing daddy's beside me, *phew*, so with a little 'guidance' from him, out to the road we went...kekeke

Oh ya, a bully honked at me at the exit though. How was he a bully? Well, he honked just right when I was slowing down my car for the scanner to read my card and for the barrier to be lifted up! Daddy was very angry and turned to stare at him and gave him a palm up(signalling 'what's this?' 'cos if it's my fault, like too slow/fast or whatever, he wld hv tipped me off, so this guy's really too much) hahaha.

Overall, it's an good experience, to me :)
