Dugaan...

Yesterday was not a normal Monday for me.

After stopping the car to pick up a friend at the bus stop opposite Tesco Puchong, I continued my journey to the office. We were five minutes ahead of our usual time as we drove along the LDP. I sensed something was wrong as I passed the Tractor's building. Based on past experiences (which is a lot!)I had with my old faithful Citroen, I could sensed that I had a flat tyre. Aramak! I was thinking "Habisla..." (I was driving Idhamu-san's car and ALL the tyres are practically new!)

I pulled the car over and inspected all the tyres. Weird, all 4 tyres looked fine.
So, I decided to continue driving.

The klonking sound that normally a flat tyre would produce, became louder. I pulled over again. As soon as I got out of the car, I heard a hissing sound. The sound came from the rear tyre. I could not believe what I saw - a huge bolt was stuck inside the soon-to-be inflated tyre!

I quickly switched on the hazard light and called Idhamu-san. When he didn't pick up the phone, I proceeded in getting the spare tyre out of its hidden place (chewah! cam terer jer...sempat la meraban cari spare tyre barang seminit dua!)

I was lucky that Ms H was there with me. She quickly called her brother who was working near the vicinity to come and help.

The poor lad came in less than 5 minutes. He then quickly changed the tyre and took us to the nearest workshop.

We spent the next 2 hours waiting. (Yelah, mana ada workshop bukak seawal 7 pagi!)

To make the story short, I managed to changed not one but TWO tyres upon Idhamu-san's request via phone (Awal la plak keluar zakat tahun ni!)

We reached the office 30 mins past 10.

And the story does not end there...

It is my usual practice to drive the car up to the front lobby 5 mins before my office hour ends.

So, that was what I did yesterday.

After clocking out, we started our journey back home.

The traffic was congested as usual and I was going less than 100 m per minute.

I was still in front of my office, ready to turn right when suddenly the car jerked to the front. What the.... (sabar... bulan puasa....)

I did not want to add to the traffic congestion and decided to stop further up from where the accident happened.

The lady driver followed suit.

I decided not to create a scene as I was fasting (sabar.sabar.)Chewah! cam bagus je...Tehehe~ Sekarang bolehlah gelak. Semalam, jangan harap!

I noticed the big bump on her belly as she got out of her car. Then I looked at her familiar face. She faltered, and ask "Kena ke?" (dalam hati, WTF!!!!)

As I was running late, and I know where she works, I decided to settle the matter tomorrow.

She said OK and we both drove off.

How la to tell Idhamu-san about this????????

At this very moment, I am very pissed. I went up to the office of the lady who-di- not-know-how-to-step-on-the-brake-pedal but she was still not in. Tried calling her (got her number from a friend) but she did not pick up the phone. Will try again and if I still cannot get in touch with her, I will lodge a police report.

Sabar...sabar.....
