no earthquake. my letterbox didn't get ruin by mother nature. I just felt bored and felt like fooling you all. I know i know, it's not April's Fools but exams got to me. Plus, it's Halloween, so I can trick all of you!
So real story...

I got out of my house getting ready to go uni and my neighbour came to me, looking all alarmed...

keith: What happened to your letterbox?
me: Huh? What happened? *i know inside got lots of snails, is that why he's being alarmed? never keep my letter box clean*


anyway, walked to my non-existing letterbox... all is left are bricks... got the shock of my life. Somemore I was like half half awake, now fully awake! My oh My! How the heck? In the morning, I go collect letter, it was all fine. Did I just slam the door too hard till the whole thing collapse? Cannot be right, where got so strong? It's BRICKS for goodness sake!!! Unless I suddenly become so powerful. My brother went out not long ago, maybe he knocked it. Texted him and he said no, letterbox was fine when he left. He must be wondering the whole day also how the letterbox collapse.

keith: *in a jokingly voice* you must have offended someone really bad till this happened.
me: must be must be. but i can't quite remember who i offended tho. must be like only in this 20 mins. I didn't hear anything, did you?
keith: no, an ear like this, i wouldn't have heard anything (mind you, he's not death, he's got perfect hearing. my new neighbour is so cool. funny old guy. don't even know sometimes if he's serious or joking.) anyway, i'll go ask nicola if she heard anything and get back to you later.
me: ok. *off to uni*


so many thoughts rushed my mind. I seriously thought I offended some stranger ok! Then they come find my house and destroy my letterbox. Damn scared man! I don't even remember giving out my address to strangers. What's next? My house? Oh maybe it's an early halloween prank.

When i came home, he came and told me what happened. Nicola, a kitchen designer (i got famous kitchen designer as my neighbour!!! go search google, nicole cumming... wahahahahahaha), had a client at their house at that time. Keith apparently called him asking whether he hit the letterbox by any chance and the client told him what happened. When he was reversing out the driveway, he heard a large bang! He thought he hit the letterbox but when he looked, the letterbox was fine. (he hit my letterbox, but the letterbox he looked at was my neighbour's) Then apparently when he continued reversing out, he saw a pile of bricks and he thought it was just rubbish that has been there all the while. man! where can so blur wan? Must be quite a large impact to runtuh-kan my letterbox right!!! When he got home, he realized a huge dent in his NEW COMPANY CAR. Yes, he was apparently oh-so happy showing of his new car to my neighbour early this morning. Kesian!!!!!! Wonder what the company will say man. but yea, he's gotta be a rich fella to go have his kitchen designed specifically for him. Anyhuuzz... my letterbox will get fixed asap and they will be paying for it. Hehehehe.. so no worries. Hence, we can laugh about it.

because lame ppl get along very well....hence good neighbours....
dad: must have been quite a hard bang to collapse the letterbox!
keith: yea, and it was a new car, company car.
dad: hmm...new car or new license?
keith: i wonder eh! must have gotten his license from The Warehouse. Everyone gets a bargain there

.......................

during dinner...
brother: Wahh! everytime yuen drive out, i always say careful, don't hit my letterbox. rina drive out, i also say careful, don't hit my letterbox. for the damage to your car will be greater than the damage to my letterbox. i always tell ppl not to hit my letterbox. Now, my letterbox really got hit and I guess it's not so strong afterall. It looks like a demolition work done well. I'm gonna put the picture as my wallpaper.
mom: at least we get a new letterbox :D
brother: but i like our old one. it's so cute!
me: i'm sure they will make it look like the old one except with new bricks and no more snails!!


i told them about my thoughts at that time when i first saw the collapsed letterbox and they all laughed at my silly thoughts. Siao! From slamming the tiny door too hard to offending someone to halloween pranks. Comments I got from them....

mom: you got a very creative way of thinking.

brother: you crazy! ppl want to prank also egg the house lar... where got so free destroy the
letterbox? a lot of effort wan you know to have the letterbox demolished like that.

dad: you think you so strong ar? slam the door then the whole thing collapse? It's bricks you know.


So yea.. that's the truth. How many of you fell for it? Heeheee... Sorry, I really felt cheeky and felt like tricking that day. Hehe.. but yea, no earthquake, choi choi choi! touch wood touch wood. And yingswan, nz do actually have earthquakes you know.

Now, where are all my letters currently going to go into?


so happy with good neighbours. my letterbox looked exactly like that except different colour.

now i feel like posting another picture..haha!! of a damaged wall by human-quake/car-quake as well...this is back in msia..shaleeni's wall...someone reversed into her wall until like that... wahlau!! teruk! i really wonder how.... but if u look closer, it's a P driver.. no wonder lar.. he's on P, he's on methamphetamine...that's why larrr...mystery solved!

ok, time for me to go now. thanks to all of you who fell for it (swan didn't fall for it, she was just there to stir things up...thanks!). You all made my days since Friday. I was just laughing all the while. Nyehehehehehe.. gosh! the things i would do to entertain myself. *runs off giggling* heeeheeeheeee.....

S, good one. I was too polite to challenge the story. I did google "NZ EQuake that day - a 2.8 showed up - even if the epicenter was under the mailbox - it would not have jiggled it. Hmmmm thought to myself ... don't think we heard the last of this one ... been waiting ... LOL ... the real story is even more exciting...thxs for the good laugh.
