lundi, janvier 22, 2007  Yes, I've been sick for the last week - like flat-out on-my-back completely gone kind of sick. So sick that my mommy *sniff* offered to sleep in my room to keep an eye on me, that's how sick I was. But I'm feeling a lot better today, it being the first day in a long time since I have spent any meaningful amount of time out of my bed.And to top it all off, I got a letter from the LTA informing me that they have waived my fine, thanks to a pitiful letter I sent them informing them that it really wasn't my fault that I was found on the bus lane at 2pm on a Saturday - which should be abolished already anyway, with the "official" 5-day work week. (Hey, the quotation marks are there for a reason.) They sent my mom (her car mah) a letter a week ago, citing a fine of $130 (!!!) for driving on "a prohibited lane" (sounds so serious) at XYZ time on XYZ date. I felt quite indignant (not to mention poor), and decided to write an appeal letter to see if they would waive the fine (Darius said 'you never know') - and they did! The letter explained (with map attached!) that I had just turned out from a road on the left (A), tried to filter unsuccessfully into the "non-prohibited lane", gave up at point B because I was planning on turning left into Marymount Lane at point C. (I was caught somewhere after point B.) Reasonable request, yeah? I'm glad that they thought so as well. I got a very stern reprimand letter, telling me to obey the road rules because they're there for the safety of one and all blahblahblah etc. I'm the safest driver I know! [LTA fined me!] |
