On a related note...

The Terengganu Government has won in its battle to drive foreign cars. So if even the Government has no confidence in the quality of our national car, why would the public feel any differently? The workshops admit that they charge a 25% surcharge because the State takes such a long time to pay. And how would that change if they use a Merc? Although personally I'm sure the State Reps are gonna enjoy showboating in their new Merces...

And now Selangor's hinting at using the Camry, claiming it's cheaper than the Merc. No wonder some people have lost hope at the state of Malaysia's politics!

Dream Driving Mishaps

Quite a few of you who have been with me in my car have experienced some incident or another, whether you burst out laughing, prayed for survival, or simply sat in and crazily enough, it was a driving incident.

 

I was driving on what appeared to be the Federal Highway heading to KL. I was also chatting with a friend. Anyway, we were happily gabbing away when suddenly there was a police road block up ahead. To my horror we realised I was not on the main road, hell I wasn’t even on  the emergency lane, but I was on the MOTOR side road. I looked to my right and suddenly my chatting partner wasn’t there anymore! *

 

*Okay, let’s clarify (or rather confuse that even more). We’re in Malaysia where cars are right-sided, but for some reason I’ve been looking right to look at my friend. So I could have been driving a left-sided car. Either that or I was actually talking to my friend who was in another car, which is more plausible given the fact that he suddenly disappeared. Who knows???

 

So clearly I was stopped by the fuzz. And I was asked to pay immediately, RM300 (which to me was a rather small fine since  and of course I didn’t have cash on me. Surprisingly I was told I could pay by card! But since they didn’t have a credit card machine in the car (hey, it’s a dream, why not?) I had to leave my car and follow them to the Bangsar police station.

 

I got there and surprisingly the station was above a Burger King. And yeap, we visited the fast food joint first and that’s when I woke up!

 

Crazy crazy crazy… No, I don’t intend to make this a real life event guys, give me a break!

Snippets (Sorry I kebas title from your site Dr M ha ha)

I went to Perhentian last weekend, an aside from the occasional hiccup was quite fun, it could've been much much better if my significant other was there with me. A couple of things to note though: If you're into some real quiet alone time by yourself or with your partner then Perhentian Besar's the place to go. If you plan to be more activity-driven and hope to meet people then Perhentian Kecil's the place to be.

Being having some weird dreams lately, with some old acquaintances and old flames turning up. It could possibly be related to my recently sleep problems, but it really doesn't help when you wake up with a headache AND feeling confused.

My next treasure hunt is on the 9th of August, and I'll be with my intrepid band of hunters (Suresh, Su and Roshan). Hope we'll taste some success this time around !

Am also currently looking forward to my next adventure, although it looks likely I won't be able to start as quickly as I would like, on hindsight maybe it's a good thing, as it'll allow me to do some reflecting. It's organising time though as I get everything into order! Wish me luck!

Annoying..

Was gonna write at how annoyed I am with someone right now...

But you know what, I can't be bothered giving him the time of day! I've got better things to think about :)
