Side story to shattered windscreen: the case of the travelling Cybershot camera
Amongst the tension came with the shattered rear windscreen episode, here's a side story that many find amusing:
Before sending for repairs, i was told to make arrangements with the various certified workshops for appointments. Being smart and clever that i am, i chose the nearest one, at AMK Industrial Park 2. So i called them, they have stock, and i prepared to go down to the workshop immediately.
Before i left for the workshop, i took our family
's digital camera, a Sony Cybershot 4.1MP camera (YES ANTIQUE! But it works, sooo

), wanting to keep a record of the damage. i went to the car, and put the camera on top of the car, and proceeded to remove whatever coverings i used to cover the car.
Phone rang, so went to pick up... and proceeded to go to the workshop.
At the workshop, the coversation was as follows:
Mechanic: Oi, u wan to take photo ah
Me (just remembering): Oh ya hor!! Wait for me for a while...
*Rumaging bag... and camera not there!*
Me: errrr...
*Mechanic points to car rear*
*Me goes to car rear*

Me: WHAT THE !!! THE CAMERA IS THERE????
Mechanic: Wah, brother, u pro lei, u drove all the way here and camera still there!
....................................
Err...... okay.... i must be travelling very slow, else how can the camera stay on top of the car for so long? The journey was from Hougang Ave. 6 to AMK Industrial Park 2.... not that far...
Lemme see.... roughly 8 left turns and 1 U-Turn, and the camera is still there...
PRO ANOT!!!!! HAHAHA~~~
