D-Day
Went shopping at The Curve today and bought shoes and some books. On the way home, Dad had to take a u-turn to head back to PJ, and after the turn, lo and behold, were a group of traffic policemen who had "set up shop" there.Traffic police are smart nowadays, they wait at u-turns under flyovers coz you have to slow your car down and you would be surprised and unprepared for them. Surprised and unprepared was my father as he desperately tried to sling the unused seat belt over his arm. It was too late anyway, he had already been spotted, and the Men In White gesticulated for him to stop. This guy who had an Anti Rasuah badge on his shiny white uniform walked up to the car:
Anti-rasuah policeman (ARP) : (points at seatbelt) apa ni?
Dad (D) : Eh? (phony astonished look on face) tak pakai properly arh.
ARP : tengok driving license.
D : (rummages in wallet, hands card to ARP)
ARP : eh, ini kad tnb la. u kerja tnb?
Dad had accidentally (i think), handed his tnb staff card instead.
D : sorry, sorry wrong card. ya, tnb. (continues looking in wallet)
ARP : so, tariff akan naik ke?
D : yalah, tak boleh terus macam ni lagi la, tnb rugi banyak.
ARP : mahal-lah, kenapa naik lagi??
D : eh, tnb rugi banyak lah, tak boleh buat apa.
ARP : (smiles and just waves us off)
~Z : he's letting us off?
D : (real astonished look on face this time, drives off as quickly as possible before anti-rasuah man changes his mind)
the shoes i bought
i don't usually buy nike coz i prefer supporting the underdog (i.e. adidas, reebok.) but these look too good to resist.
looks familiar? coz the world's best player wears it too =p
autographed by the man himself...
ahah..no, just kiddin.
tomorrow's the day. everybody's getting worried over a tiny slip of paper. i've decided i'm not gonna care. i mean it's not like you can do anything to change it. what's done is done, look ahead, don't get stuck up in the past. i'm just gonna accept whatever i get, with grace.
i'm worried though about my piano theory exam tomorrow. it's in dj in the morning so i don't think i'll be at tmn sea on time. the thing is, i'm almost sure of at least getting a merit, but £50 is awarded to ppl who get distinction and i don't mind an extra RM350 in my pocket. it's not fun to be sitting for an exam and collecting results for another exam on the very same day you know.
anyway, hope tomorrow goes well for me in both.
All the best to everyone for tomorrow. Fingers-crossed.
