beach balls

First order of business was to send Sunny to the Nissan service centre for...err..servicing. The lady there told me I had to make an appointment and that I had to wait until late afternoon to get back my car! I never made an appointment before at the service centre. Even when I did call to ask the person would tell me to just come without an appointment. Instead I opted to make an appointment for 3.30 pm. The time now was 11 am. So i had the option of going home or staying out until 3. Actually my initial plan was to get my car done and then head to East Coast for some blading. So I headed to East Coast Park.

I parked near the hawker centre and then took a walk into the new area where the lagoon used to be. It is nice.Probably even better at night.One more place to add to my list of places to bring Lisa.

Got back to my car and spied 2 parking wardens lurking nearby. Thankfully I was not summoned. Drove over to Marine Cove. Walked around a bit there too. Did not feel like blading in the end.

Then I messaged 'her'. She was on MC today. Had the flu.Poor girl. I drove over to her place and picked I had dinner at the coffeeshop near her place. We sat and chatted a bit there. She wanted to go to Funan to get a book but I was heading to Toa Payoh later for my car servicing. So we went back to her place where she got her file with the address of all the other branches. Downstairs I saw this old guy staring daggers at me. I later found out the hostile old dude was her dad! I smiled sheepishly at him as I drove off with his beloved daughter. Hee hee..

There was a branch at Toa Payoh HDB Hub.

So I drove there and we both went looking for the shop. HDB Hub is a huge complex with a half dozen buildings I think. After about 20 minutes we finally found the place but it was nearly time for my appointment at the workshop. So I left her and headed to the Nissan service centre and she continued the search for her books on her own. In the end she got her book from Funan!

I sent my car in and after nearly 2 hours Sunny was ready. Problem was no one told me.So I ended up waiting longer than I should have. Worse of all the mechanic said that there was something wrong with my battery and clutch. Couldn't someone have fixed it or at the very least asked me if i wanted it done instead of making wait all for nothing.

I was late for my date with Lisa as I dashed from Toa Payoh to her office. I got there 10 minutes past six. It was not helped any that a bus had broken down on the road leading to her office and the tow guy conducted a check and repair on the damn bloody road. Stupid jerk! Couldnt he have moved his bus to one side of the road so vehicles could pass? In the end I had to mount halfway on the kerb to get pass the bus.

Picked Lisa and drove over to Seletar. I had difficulties finding Sunset Grill & Pub as it is located in some 'ulu' part of the air base. I had to SOS Noel to get the directions.

Once there it was worth the hassle. It did not hurt that sitting across the table from me was Lisa either. We both had the lambloin's which were not too bad. Sweet even. The thing about Sunset is not the food, although it is pretty good, but the laid back atmosphere and unique setting beneath a big angsana tree and at the edge of Seletar Airport.

After dinner we strolled back to Sunny and I drove her home. I walked her to her door. She went in and got me a black McDonald's doggie pillow. Now I have two! Yippie! The irony is that the other doggie pillow I have in my car came from Jackie. Like day and night when I think of it. Her mum and dad were also eager to chat with me but I had to go. Hahaaa...next time perhaps. Too bad they were around to 'spotlight' on me and Lisa or else...*smiles*

Drove home.
