Towing My Car

As I was conveyed to NUH during the accident happened yesterday afternoon, nobody was able to drive my car to the workshop. The Traffic Police has to take over.

I started my today with the procedure to collect my badly damaged car from the Traffic Police.

From Paya Lebar MRT, there are a few public buses such as number 24, 70, 76 etc which go to Traffic Police Head Quarter located at Ubi Ave 3. I was asked to make a police report. A notice was then given to me to collect my car. I was wondering where my car was. I asked the receptionist and she was bewildered. Perhaps my English was real lousy. I called my insurer, AIG. The towing service has been arranged and I was supposed to show the notice before the towing could start,

The towing company called to say that its truck was already waiting for me. I beg your pardon but where are you?

I was then told that my car was at Traffic Police Compound ( 517 Airport Road). I was caught off guard and could only take a cab there. The poor cabby didn't seem to know the way; a distance of 3.5km costs me $5.20 (my 2 lunches gone)!

I saw my poor car, signed and the tow truck started towing to the workshop in Pandan Crescent.

How am I going to get to Pandan Crescent as I have to make a report with my insurer too?

The fastest way would be to take a cab. Yes, 2 cab rides in a single day. Bungerstar is either real rich or real insane!

It was a "bumpy' ride for my heart as I saw the fare-meter jumping as fast as my heart. Upon reaching the workshop, I saw my car again. The staff at the workshop took some shots on the damages. I brought my camera along too. I was like taking shots on a celebrity, except that I zoomed in on her disfigured areas.

From the initial assessment, the estimate for repair would be about 7k. Now any motor repair would be in terms of thousands of dollars. I have to get it repaired because I can't bear to let it RIP. I don't know what would be the outcome but I do know, I was being knocked from my rear.

Of course, the journey back home was by the public transport and dinner is instant noodles with an egg.
