The day the car was towed away

The first time in my life i encountered a car break down...and hte account of what happened just below:

We had gone to the East coast beach for an evening out as a family.Spent time taking pictures with my new mobile phone(LG K800)aslo known as Chocolate then it started drizzling and so we all headed towards the car.Mum wasnt in the mood to cook and so we drove towards Serangoon to buy us some "Thosai" for dinner. It was about 8 when we were done with Serangoon and since the christmas light up in orchard was just a stones throw away, we headed there.... little did we know it will be jammed and our car will break down.

Dad was driving but due to the jam, he had to keeep braking and engaging his clutch. Near Centrepoint, there was a queer sound coming from the clutch and as we passed the jam and headed towards the Istana, our car slowed down considerably.When we were infront of Plaza Singapura, our car broke down :( we had to get the Tow truck to pull it away but the truck took a while to reach.It came in about 45 minutes and meanwhile i had called my husband to come pick us up from the spot. The most irritating part of it all was the damn musical thing happening at PS, it sounded like they were screaming yet they had managed to get themselves a huge crowd.It was really making my head throb.l...so eventually we managed to get home at about 1030 and had our dinner...
