of no car

We just came back from the SPH Carnival.

Today we tasted the feeling of not having a car. We walked and walked.

There was a massive jam. Partly because there was the usual weekend crowd at East Coast Parkway. Also partly because of the SPH Carnival. And also partly because there was an accident involving a few cars.


So we had to park our car at a carpark near Fort Road. Then lancerlady and I made our way to the event (which was near the Macdonald's) on foot, with lancerlad (being the Young and Mighty Prince) sitting comfortably in the stroller.


After the event, we walked to Parkway Parade to have our lunch. And after lunch we took a very very slow walk back to our car.


And did we win the Mazda6? Definitely not, we did not even submit contest form. Because we got there late and submission of contest forms had already closed. On top of that, there was human jam. I think 10 million people were at the event.

But it was good fun. You could see people carrying newspaper, running like crazy. Someone was also singing the riddle as we made our slow walk to the event.

So this was the day we sort of did not have a car and did not win a car. Good experience of feeling something uniquely Singaporean. Kiasu!
