Its pretty amazing how i kinda make it a 'must-do' thingy to 'visit' the police stations of the countries that i worked and resided in. The day before yesterday saw a sickly gg stuck in one of the Sharjah's (another emirate of UAE) police station. And erm, conclusion is i will have to attend court this coming sunday and might have to pay a hefty fine of AED 6,500 (ard SGD 2,600) to get back my passport, which is now being detained by the Sharjah Police so to prevent me from running away and also my car, which was being confiscated by the police for a month. KNNBCCB.

So what happened was:

All along i was driving in Dubai with my SG International License while i was on visit visa, which is legal. Then last month, i was converted to the residence visa, and residence visa holders require the UAE driving license to drive. And SG International License used to be able to be converted directly to UAE driving license without taking any lessons and road tests but they changed the goddamn law like 2 months ago i think. So, YES, i didnt change my license so am still driving with my SG driving license as a resident, which is ILLEGAL.

Actually i was planning to go take up the bloody lessons and road test like REALLY SOON?? and everything was fine until tat day i got involved in a small car accident, which isn't even my fucking fault. Anyway, do not wish to go into details of the accident, it really makes my blood boils! So the traffic police came, checked and realized lim pei do not have the UAE driving license and so off we go to the police station. and becos of their 'efficiency' i was stuck there for 5 fucking hours, nvm, i also happened to be fucking ill tat day.

And the whole time at the station, they were all speaking in Arabic and being frustrated after waiting for such a long time, i asked the police what exactly is the situation now and what charges am i facing. He told me it will be lodged as a police case and they might detained me and then deport me back to Singapore with a FREE one-way ticket. Seriously, being sick and pek chek to the max, tat really sounds like the best outcome EVER. Im seriously thinking if i should leave this very sick place earlier.

Now i feel so handicapped without my car.. and im very angry lah! Pau pau! i wanted to bring you around lah! :((((((((
