By now everyone should have heard about the crazy petrol prices over the last weekend.
SHELL was selling a liter of petrol for only $1!!!
And of cause kaisu me just had to get in on all that good deal!
So here's my $1 petrol adventure.
Mum informed me of this promo 2 days before, so for 2 days i drove baby-M around like there was no tomorrow!
With a little less then half tank, i was determine to get my $1 petrol!
Saturday:
10am - pump price switch to $1
Fiona was coaching...
Finish at 1pm.
Had lunch.
2pm - Left house for next class, hoping to get my $1 petrol.
Drove pass... Crazy madness long queue at AMK....
*sigh*
Went straight to for class.
Finish class...
Driving home... Super tired and drained from the carzy hot sun...
Thinking twice abt going to the pumps.
*slap* - kiasu bug bite
Drove straight the the nearest SHELL around my place.
3.45pm
Joined the queue.
Hmm.... It's not THAT bad....
Waited for 5mins...
Thinking of the many other stations around...
Contemplating whether to go there instead.
But decided that i'll probably have to queue there too...
So i stayed.
4pm
Creeping, crawling slowly along the line
Happy to be amongst my fallow kaisu countryman!
Surprisingly the queue was not as bad as i thought it'll be
At least it was moving
4.05pm
The entrance is so near yet so far!
There were cisco guards directing traffic.
No wonder there's no massive jam...
Part-time help
Carrying the sign walking up and down
in the bloody hot sun!!
Poor girl...
One the other side of the board read
"Only 95. 98 sold out"
(something along that)
But lucky me! The re-fill tanker came just as i was in the middle of the queue.
*beam*
4.10pm
Thought to myself...
"How crazy awesome it is that petrol is cheaper then diesel!! Woohoo!!"
By a full $0.181!!!
*feel good being in the queue*
4.15pm
Finally at the pump!!
"98 Full tank pls"
Payment - "That will be $22"
Happiness all over!
It's like being told you struck 4D!!
(ok... maybe not the big big 4D but definitely similar to winning 4D!)
4.15pm
Drove home happy.
It was almost a half hour wait. But it was also some good alone time. And i got $1 petrol out of it!
So it's all good
