2cm Away From Burning My Own Joss Sticks

(51)
Tuition given in the topic of Miss Loi's Car from the desk of Miss Loi at 12:32 pm (Singapore time)

Updated on

From 120km/h cement trucks to 40km/h aunties & uncles hogging the right lane, Miss Loi thought she’d seen it all in her daily commute to her students’ residences on Singapore’s world-class roads. But what happened yesterday afternoon left her in a bit of a shock – even worse than her previous accident experience.

To go straight to the plot, there were three of us travelling happily along Ang Mo Kio Ave 2 in the vicinity of St. Nicholas Girls’ School – a blue pickup lorry and the two protagonists: a sexy Maths tutor in a black Toyota car, and … umm … let’s just call him Mr Dumbass in a black egg-shaped Mitsubishi Colt Plus.

Initial Car Formation

As you can see from the diagram above, everyone was merrily cruising in formation along the two-lane road, the sky was blue, the birds were chirping, and the world was in equilibrium.

Perhaps a massive bout of self-pity for his sad underachieving life suddenly overwhelmed Mr Dumbass, but still this is not a good reason for him to do this:

Crazy car swerving manoeveur that nearly killed Miss Loi!

From the haunting image she saw in her side mirror, Miss Loi was dead sure 2 cm was all that separated her from the real possibility of yesterday’s post becoming this blog’s final post. In fact her fingers are trembling now as she types this.

To his credit, in the obvious absence of a functioning brain, Mr Dumbass appears to be well-compensated with a pair of functioning ears so he did manage to pull away at the last minute (and it was really last-minute!) upon hearing Miss Loi’s incessant horning for what sounded like an eternity.

By now Miss Loi had slowed her car and was still reeling from the shock. Mr Dumbass had also slowed down and was now cruising, ironically, at least 20m behind her.

Once she had regained some composure, Miss Loi signalled to stop and was expecting Mr Dumbass to do likewise, get out of the eggshell of his car and at least apologise.

Mr Dumbass' Mitsubishi Colt Plus

Mr Dumbass’ black egg shell
No. plate SGK XXXX X
NOS included

Just as she was preparing to unleash 16 years’ worth of student reprimanding experience on him, much to her utter dismay, Mr Dumbass’ eggshell suddenly came to life and zoomed past her as if it was running on NOS!

As she angrily tidied her messy hair caused by Mr Dumbass’ slipstream, Miss Loi is convinced that with the rising number of vehicles driven by an increasing population of Dumbasses, Singapore’s world-class roads are becoming more dangerous by the day.

As she saw another pair of efficient white-uniformed wardens zipping past on their scooters on their way to summon the next batch of unfortunate illegal parking offenders, she couldn’t help feel that some of this efficiency could be better channeled to catch wimpy idiotic dumbasses like the one above.

Afterall dumbasses can kill. 10-minute expired coupons don’t.

頑張って!!!

    OMG! What a dumbass indeed! With such a small space, did he really think the egg would be able to roll through despite it being small?

    WishBoNe, if you looked at the diagram again you'll find that the sexy maths tutor was even slightly ahead of Mr Dumbass!

    So he should still see her even if he didn't check his blind-spot. Unless

    1) his window tint was too dark (suspect this was the case as Miss Loi couldn't see his face despite being so close)
    2) the A-pillar of the Colt is too fat
    3) his eyeball/neck muscles were incapable of turning even a single degree.

    Tsk.

    Paddy, thanks for your concern. Unfortunately it happened so fast and Miss Loi was so traumatized afterwards that only the alphabets 'SGK' were recalled. 🙁

    Kiroii, Singapore most definitely has a world-class transportation network consisting of world-class drivers (such as the one described in this post) graduating from world-class driving schools driving on world-class roads!

    Whatever the cause, its gd that no one gets hurt in this near-accident. It sucks, but sometimes, all it takes is just one mistake and lifes may be lost. (just like the recent hougang fire thingy) So yah, your are right about your entry title.

    er no offence for insinuating singaporeans but as a singaporean myself maybe im a little biased..as im not really a nationalist..
    i mean lets face it u take de mrt and scrutinise yer surroundings..especially during rush hours..people push and knock like they dunno the term "manners" when the door opens everyone simply rushes in talk abt haphazzardness?

    furthermore speakin of moral ettiquite how many singaporeans actually give up their sits for the needy(elderly or the pregnant)..lets face it under our present government singapore is technically a land of wealth..moral principles are eroding..

    thus "good boys and gurls"? think again..

    HAM,

    As law-abiding motorists we were all traveling in such haste that speed cameras would have no chance to waste their flashes.

    AIYA! Different! Mine's 李. WOAH. 罗 sounds pretty cool too. So far of all the 17years i've lived. i only managed to know another LOI which is around last year december (Your the second Loi I've found.) and her LOI is written as 黎 or something like that. (I can't remember XD) Still pronounced as Li in chinese but definitely of a more complicated character and a different tone. SO COOLLLLL.. Even of the rare few LOI i could find, all our surname in chinese is of diff character!!!

    Miss Loi (李),

    This is the first time Miss Loi has heard that Loi can be = 李. The only other Loi she'd known is 吕.

    If this is the case then can we start calling our PM Loi HL and his dad Loi KY! lol

    Then again, why do guys (and some gals) like to sprout profanities?

    123 & ByPassing: Miss Loi is surprised too that this turned out to to be rather a hot topic. Actually Miss Loi just had another angry encounter (though not a life-threatening one) with another world-class Singaporean driver.

    Still deliberating on whether to blog it (at the risk of this degenerating into a motorist complaints blog).

    P.S. But the comments are getting a little OT already 😛

    Miss Lara 李 Loi,

    Think all Lois are nurses' mistakes! According to legend, the surname of an entire generation of this blog's owner's family tree was also 'determined' by a forward-thinking hospital staff!

    Maybe the both of us came from the same hospital then!

    Jzin, maybe the ERPs, speed cameras, parking attendants, and the massive jams these days tend to bring out the Dumbasses in all of us.
