Speeding

Got caught "speeding" at 83km/h on a 60km/h road (i.e. Punggol Central) on 3-4am Sunday..
Ah 1st time in my 6.5 yrs of driving got caught..
To be honest, I think I was travelling near 90 until I braked when I saw the traffic police..
But anyways..the police asked if I was rushing anywhere..
Mind was blank (it was late)..so I said no..
Come to think of it..some possible scenarios flashed thru my mind..

Scenario 1:

Police stopped me..
I step out of the car..give my driving licence..
Say I need to go toilet urgently..come back later..
I do come back later and then the police let me off as I was rushing to the toilet..

Scenario 2:

Police stopped me..
I step out of the car..looking constipated when in fact I have a bad stomachache..
Give them my license in a hurry manner and ask them to hurry up as I need to go toilet..
Police decide to let me off..

Of course none of these happened..
And I am facing a letter in 2 weeks to a month and a $150 fine with maybe 6 demerit points..
But I am going to appeal..although my basis is not firmed up..
But if you don't try..you don't get it..

Or maybe I won't get the letter as the Police thought I was very cooperative and they have achieved their target number of offenders and mine was too minor (Scenario 3)

Any ideas for my appeal letter anyone?

Post CNY

At home on a Monday afternoon..
Diarrhea since yesterday..
I ate quite a lot of stuff on Saturday so I can't pin point what caused it when the doctor asked..
I ate Macs..
I ate Popeyes..
I ate pineapple tarts at my ex-colleague's house and drank Stella Artois (while mahjonging)..
I drank soya bean milk..
Or maybe I breathed in too much smoke or ate some joss stick accidentally at Loyang Dua Pek Kong..
So much effort just to ensure my year ahead is good..

One of my colleagues who played mahjong insisted that the pineapple tarts expired yesterday..
Reason being its end of CNY yesterday!
I laughed it off..sounds hilarious ma right..
Now I wonder if its true.
I ate a few near the so called expiry date..
And see what happened..

Anyway I am not complaining..
I can rest in my air-con room..
Temperature is reaching 35 degrees outside..
And I won't have Monday blues!
And then its Tuesday tomorrow..
But as some of you have already heard..
After Monday and Tuesday..
The calendar still says W T F
Before the weekend comes..
