conversation with my father

this morning i got into a car accident. i was coming out of my parking space and going the opposite direction but while making a u-turn, a wira drove straight into the side of my car. it’s all thanks to this asshole who was waiting in his big truck right next to me car. seeing i had difficulty coming out of my space he still refused to move his truck to give me more space. thanks to his inconsiderate attitude, i couldn’t see the oncoming wira which was in my blind spot and bammm. the rest they say is history.

the first person i called was my dad. not because i’m a daddy’s girl (ok i am) but because my dad has been in the motor claims industry for many years so all our motoring woes have always been settled by dad. lets put it this way, there are no opportunities for workshops or rogue tow truckers to rip me off.

so dad being dad was nagging me about my driving and me being me was fiercely defending myself…

“don’t bluff me, i read your blog and in the past week you have been speeding and making illegal u-turns.”

Daddy – 1, Me – 0.

Wyndham Estate Wine Tasting @ Chinoz on the Park

This is a long overdue post. Been delaying posting it probably because something happened immediately after the wine tasting that I was trying to systematically erase from my consciousness. Something that involved the words “projectile”, “designer bag”, “smelly” and “dry clean”. Oh well, if you can figure it out yourselves, geniuses.

Anyway, I had a pretty nice time during the wine tasting, courtesy of Wyndham Estate. It felt a little stuffy for sure, mostly because I had no idea what the wine connoisseurs were babbling about. My wine knowledge is as far as Floyd on the Food Channel goes (read: if it tastes good, drink up). I supposedly knew how to read wine labels exactly 3 years ago too, but that knowledge too was systematically erased from my memory due to situations involving the words “jumped” and “bond”.
