Car Washer

Lately my brain ability to process things is a bit slow, so I take quite sometime to get out from the car, get my things from the car boot, and started to walk towards the lift.
One day I arrived home very late, when I was still taking things from my car boot, suddenly there was a man approaching me, and said,"Good evening ma'am".
Luckily I was in a stupid mode, so I was not shock at all with his sudden presence. He asked me," I can help you to wash your car everyday, Monday to Friday".
I am not too keen with the car washer at the carpark, because I experienced that the paint work would be damaged by their wipes...so I prefer to wash at the car wash in the petrol kiosk.
But I know I can't say this things to him, so I just sheepishly said with my best smile,"Oh no thanks, I have somebody washing my car in the office".
But he knew I lie, because my car's rim is very dirty and he kept on staring at them *sigh*
So he said,"Why don't you let me wash your car?"
I said," Oh well may be next month".
He was still staring at my car's rim and said,"I'll give you my number ma'am, please call me".
I took it and put it inside my bag...
A few days later I met him again when I arrived home late...he ran to me and said,"Hey ma'am, why you haven't called me?"
I said," Errr....the month hasn't ended, right?"
He said," Don't forget to call me next month..."
Oh man...eversince that insident, I was playing hide and seek with him.
I am trying my best to avoid him, so if I saw him when I enter the carpark, I would just leave my belongings in the car and run into the lift as soon as possible...

Taxi

One day I had to take Taxi down to a place call "One North" which is relatively quite a new area in Singapore. After I got the taxi, I went in and I said politely,"Hi, can you bring me to One North, please?"
Taxi Driver:"Huh?"
I repeated:"I want to go to One North, please"
Taxi Driver:"Huh? Where?"
I tried to think very hard, and I said,"It is somewhere in Buona Vista".
Taxi Driver:"Huh?"
I was thinking whether he had a hearing problem...but I repeated slowly,"Buona Vista".
The he said,"Oh Buona Vista...South or North?"
I said,"North"
Then I tried to explain how to go there in my half past six Chinese (my friend used to say that towards my broken Chinese) and patched up with the best Singlish that I could speak...
Finally, when we reached Buona Vista, then he asked again, "How? Turn where?"
Me,"Go straight, then 2 more traffic light turn right".
Suddenly to my surprise he said,"Oh One North, ah?"
I am speechless.... *tepok jidat*
Kemane ajeeee tuh orang *banging my head again the front seat*
