Yesterday… Yeah the first half of yesterday was quite boring. Probably because most of the people are not in the office and enjoying their extended holiday. So I end up working alone in the office and it kinda quiet. Too quiet for my liking. Anyway everything just like any other working days. Switched on my laptop, reading emails (surprisingly yesterday I received very very few emails compared to any other days), monitoring my facebook account, performing housekeeping of my laptop and of cause, finishing any outstanding tasks that I have. But, the same thing can’t be said for the second half of yesterday…

Thankfully wifey decided to fetch me from the office instead of my usual LRT commuting. Anyway that because my daughters, Iman and Nisha decided to stay at my mom-in-law’s house at Desa Pandan. For Iman perhaps that’s the safe house from any do and don’t, while for Nisha, that’s the only place where she will be spared from any “sifir” questions and books summarization (OK not books but paragraphs) from her father. So after sending all the necessary items to wifey’s mom house (Milk, clothes, Iman’s night pampers, breads etc), we drove to Kinrara to have dinner (wifey’s yet to have her meals for the day – magic).

Along the way, I keep on lamenting on the current situation of the company and the current state that they are in. Unfortunately, just ahead from Shell station (that located right after TPM, towards Kinrara) the road has this hole which I bumped in on the night before but luckily I didn’t drive that fast as “Twins on board”. Last night as “Twins no longer on board” I successfully hit that damned hole again and managed to puncture the tyre and bent the rim as well. Wonderful.

This is not The pot hole.

So I parked the car in front of the new SIRIM office (located at the Puncak Jalil junction) and scrambling for the jack, spare tyre and other necessary tool. After some hard labour, I managed to take out the puncture tyre and when I held the spare tyre, that tyre was not inflated at all. And the best thing is, it also has bent rim, similar the punctured ones.

Thankfully wifey’s colleague was around to help us, in fact he helped us many times before and both of us owe him big time. I need to devise something to show our gratitude towards him. Ahh btw, he is a Chinese and to our leaders up there at Putrajaya, we dun have any problem regarding the skin colors, race or religion. In fact I think our leaders up there exaggerate most of the things. Racial tension? C’mon.. Open your mind lil bit lor. The important thing is respect and acknowledged other people differences. Not hating them for that.

Pumping leg courtesy of wifey. We sent the tyre to the petrol pump for proper inflation later on

So as today, the rim need to be sent to the “specialist”(according to the workshop), and then they can replace my front tyres. So for time being, we will use the spare tyre for a lil longer..

Say NO to pot-holes
