The Weekend That Was Not Meant To Be

This past weekend is really an interesting one.
Barring sunday, friday n saturday were filled with plans dat did not go as planned.

wanted to go wala's on fri to catch EIC but silly us met at the hawker centre at 7.30pm,
completely forgetting dat we shd be IN wala's at 730 to get ourselves a table.
upon reaching wala at 8pm, there was a queue downstairs and it was full upstairs. (wad's new?)

so we went off to dempsey to check out the new little extension. there was this restaurant/bar place called Contemporary Melting-Pot & Bar or CM-PB in short. most awesome mussles in marma ham sauce. nice little quiet place in a corner of dempsey, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the place.

saturday started out nice and easy. woke up late, bummed ard at home until 6ish.
den it was time to go to marina to try to catch the opening ceremony of the helix bridge.
on the way there while on the AYE, some dumbass decided to pull some stunt, causing a cab 2 vehicles in front of me to jam brake which resulted in the cab directly in front of me to jam brake as well. and of coz i jam braked too. i stopped in time, stopping narrowly behind the cab.
but before i can say 'HENG AH!' the car behind hit me. pushing me infront, thereby hitting the cab.

#$@#%$%^@^@... and the thought on my mind while getting particulars of the 2 cabs n the car behind was: damn... there goes the plans for tonite. cant catch the fireworks.

and within 30secs after the accident, a couple of guys from some workshop appeared and helped the drivers with getting all the necessary information while asking everyone if anyone was injured.
they offered to take my van to the workshop to get it repaired and of coz settle all the paperwork. and i was in no mood to like think abt which workshop to send my van, i juz drove my van to their workshop for them to handle all the affairs related to the accident.
got a rental vehicle to use in the meantime while the van is being repaired.
lulu is gona b in the hospital for abt 4-5 days. hope she can discharge b4 i fly off to the philippines.

since the workshop was in kaki bukit, dinner was at bedok 85. and of coz we ordered lots of food. (wad's new?)
and after dinner, we went back to the marina bay area to check out the helix bridge as planned.
it wasn't as awesome as it was made out to be. but we still walked across the whole bridge to the end which was abt 2/3 across. the remaining 1/3 was cordoned off as construction works on the other are still not complete.
and so ends saturday.

and this is the weekend when nothing went according to plan.
now aint dat sweet?
