Appeal on Parking Offence Notice

Yes, I finally got it. A 50 dollar fine for parking in the darn handicap lot. The parking facilities in my area are such that if you arrive after 11 p.m., you get to park... at the bus stop beside the polytechnic. Anyway, my appeal letter is attached below. Let's hope that some kind soul behind the computer screen will be empathetic enough to let me off with a warning letter. So that's the first issue that got me peeved today. 

Dear Sir/ Mdm,

The HDB estates in my area, comprising of BLKs 8**A, 8** and 8** are currently having their lifts upgraded. The ongoing construction work has unfortunately occupied a number of the parking lots available in the car-park. This, coupled with the fact that the parking lot in question is extremely popular, results in us residents not having enough lots to park our vehicles. Most of us have little choice but to park our vehicles in the handicap lots and other restricted lots overnight and move them only early the following morning. We do our best to avoid parking in the restricted lots but at times there really is no where else for us to park our vehicles. At 2.00 am in the morning, there usually are no lots for us to park our vehicles and more often than not, the handicap lots are also occupied by some of the residents with no where else to park. As this is my first traffic offense in my three years of driving, I appeal for your kind understanding and hope that you can grant me this one chance and waive this fine for me. I have learnt my lesson and will make an effort to come home earlier so as to avoid parking in the restricted lots.

Yours Truly,

Jason Yip

The second incident is the last minute cancellation of my meeting with the tour agent. Apparently he had some last minute thing which cropped up. That makes two cancellations in... three days. The clock's ticking and my patience is wearing thin too. There's just so much to do in... so little time, less then two weeks to be exact. Let's hope tomorrow's meeting realizes. 

For the less informed, there's this Channel 8 show called the Ultimatum on TV every weekday nights at 9. 

With the exception of a handful of the actors and actresses, three to be exact, the rest of the them are just so bad... I cringe every time they talk or move. Argh.... 

Till the next entry.
