Yesterday, I accompanied En MHM to check on his car in the workshop. He had an accident nearly a week ago and still shaken from the incident. Macam baby lah you nie. He is still on leave, recovering from his long drive from EC visiting his mom. So, he asked me to drive him to the workshop since he is still tired. Off we go at about noon, after lunch in Hometown YongTowFoo, his favourite food. Nak muntah pun ada, asyik makan tu, but what to do.
To cut the long story short,
To cut the long story short,
- He doesnt know the way to the workshop
- He went there once last week to check on the car, but still cannot recall where it is since someone else drove him there; he has a very bad memory when it comes to roads
- We went around Selayang and Kepong about twice looking for papan tanda leading to the taman perindustrian, but failed. I nearly lost my temper, drove laju2, masuk dangerously left & right. Finally he asked for direction from a lemang seller and we arrived in one piece.
On the way back, he commented on my driving, saying that I cekap bawa kereta and how I am familiar with the roads in the area. In my heart, ini mesti ada yang dia nak corner somewhere nie. True enough, he said politely and softly, lain kali, cuba jangan nak marah2, dahlah panas kat luar tu, kalau marah2, aircond pun tak rasa. Kalau tak tau jalan, tanya je la kat orang for direction. Buat apa nak complicate matters, kan sampai juga. Cubalah belajar jadi sabo skit, nanti taun depan, umur 46 tapi sebab selalu marah2, nampak cam umur 50.
Owchhhh...

I am beginning to warm up to this man !! Anyone who can bagi sebijik to you in a cool and very calm fashion and most importantly, with you listening to his wise advice, deserve my very bigh, huge res[ect.
I wish I was there untuk dengar that statement !!!! Hahahaha.
Yup, he is a very soft spoken & gentle person. Very difficult to see him get angry. He never once marah me. Kalau nak marah pun, he will puji me first and he will go to his point on what I did wrong. If while driving and I go on and on about the roads condition and cars on the road, he will just smile and said, why so tense? why must you think of matters that are beyond your control? nanti more frown lines and kedut will appear on your muka. Cis! and so I shut up before he say sumthing else! Yeah, you will like him. Wise guy but cam pompuan as he likes to file all his papers, eg, bills, important docs neatly.
