I went to jail!

Been craving for A&W's wffle with ice-cream for a few days, so when my boss asked me to rep her to a meeting in PJ, I decided to drop by the A&W restaurant near AMCorp Mall.  Just as I was about to enter the 'No Entry' road, I noticed a policeman nearby.  So I hesitantly drove away from the junction wondering which junction should I take to get into the A&W road.

After a few minutes of really slow drive (and many honks by other drivers), I saw the AMCorp Mall on my left.  Turned into that corner, drove excitedly and noticed that the road was a dead end.  Decided to enter the building nearest to the dead end, gestured a circle to the guards and drove to what I thought was a roundabout.  Found out immediately, that I was entering the indoor parking.  Wait, wait, before I entered the carpark, I saw 3 policemen dragging men with handcuffs - two in red suit, one in white.  Hoho, I saw real prisoners!  And they were looking at me with angry faces - probably because I was staring at them.  I mean, who wouldn't?  I just wanted to make a U-turn; the last thing I could think of was seeing people in prison clothes walking in handcuffs.

So, ok, back to the part where I entered the parking - it was really sunyi sepi (suspiciously quiet).  Drove a bit further, hoping to find an exit, but a policewoman came up to my car and asked "How are you, Miss?".  I found it odd, she asking me that - people would often ask "How may I help you?" or something of that kind, right?  So I asked which way is out.  She said I have to turn back, as there's only one way on and out of that area.  Ooookaaayyyyyy... that place is already narrow as it is, imagine having two huge police trucks in there.  I took sometime to turn my car around, with the policewoman observing me with suspicious look.  When I finally made my move out, I noticed a policeman standing behind a row of thick grill bars.  I felt a chill up my spine when I saw his fingers on his gun holster, as if ready to take it out and shoot me.  So I held my breath, struggled to keep calm and drove out.

I just went around the building when I saw the gate was locked with HUGE padlocks.  Let me repeat, HUGE padlocks.  With s'es.  Like HUGE PADLOCK #1, HUGE PADLOCK #2, HUGE PADLOCK #3.... Aiyo, I thought I was gonna get locked up in there!  Stopped at the guard post (which I drove past earlier - so sombong-ly) and asked the guard to open the gate.  I was glad to find the guard was a friendly guy.  He asked me where I was heading, and laughed out loud when I told him "A&W".

He said:  Miss, you took the wrong road.  It should be the other one (and pointed to the narrow lane down that hill).  This building is the Courthouse, and you just drove straight into the prison!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  But it's okay, you'll have something to share now - you can tell everyone you've gone into prison, but you have to rap sheet.

Then he opened the gate, laughing still.  I laughed along, despite this nagging feeling in my gut.  And no, it's not the hunger.  The feeling only stopped once I was out of the compound.  And I drove off, never feeling more relief in my entire life!

And he was right - I have something worth sharing with the world now.  And I'm writing it down.  So people, the next time you want to U-turn inside a building complex, stop to ask the guard which way you should take.  Unless you want to end up driving yourself into jail...
