The year was 2001. April 28. Around 3pm. It was a normal working day for me. Just finished one tuition session and on the way to another. Bright day & not too hot. Got into my black 1982 Nissan Pulsar 1.0DX. Such an old car. Slow like a tortoise. Entered AYE from boon lay towards keppel. Dont dare to travel on lane one cos afraid of others flashing me and also worried my pulsar might fall to bits if I exceeded 80km/hr. Sigh. Approaching alexandra exit.

Suddenly, in my rear view mirror, two puny dots appeared out of nowhere, but they caught my attention because the dots where darting in and out of other vehicles, side swapping every thing which got in their way, from lane one to lane two, and then back to lane one again. As they got nearer, their shapes got more familiar. Toyota Starlets? Suzuki Swift Gti? Within the spilt 10 seconds of me noticing them, they were beside my pulsar, exhausts raoring like mad, turbos spooling like no tomorrow, Blow off valves blowing like two mad typhoons. One was a gleaming Black color and the other a bright Yellow, but both were undeniably 3 door Daihatsu Charade Gtti hatchbacks. Watching them race each other, albeit dangerous & inconsiderate & even silly, was exhilarating! It was as if all other vehicles were stationary, except for the black & yellow Gtti hatches zigging in & out of traffic.

Unforgettable.

Thats why I still remember till today. [dizzy]
