Damn it. Patutnya siap Rabu, last2 sampai Isnin depan baru leh buat. Geramnya!!!!
Know what happened? Aku hantar keta aku Selasa, pas tu mekanik dah check, kata ada electrical problem. Apparently an ignition switch was not working well, causing the engine to sometimes start and sometimes not. Untung2 jalan, kalau tak tersadai je le kat garage. Supposed to be a straightforward job, involving an auto-electrician to come an install / replace a new switch and my car should be up and running again.
Guess what? Dia tak dtg!! Rabu Khamis Jumaat!!! Asyik2 kata ada job lain, sangkut ngan client2 lain tak ingat lama nyer!!! I felt like blowing off to the mechanic, tapi tak sampai hati sebab bukan dia yg salah, tapi auto-electrician tuh, farrrrrrr out...also the Shell mechanic was being very apologetic and accountable towards making sure my car will be fixed as soon as possible, and admitting that "a simple job has turned into a one that's taking bloody forever" in his words. Ah, he treats his clients well.
Notwithstanding, I still ended up having to take 4 hour trips to and from work, which accumulates 20 hours a week...how's that for destroying productivity guys? Sure, not gonna complain too much when you compare commuting in Malaysia (jam-packed) or the ones in China (super-duper-sardine-packed) but still, really wish i could have my car back. Cepat lah siap, aku janji akan jaga keta aku baik2 from now on...duit habis skit pun takpele, janji boleh gi keje...bukan boleh bawak kubo pun pitis2 nih..
On the bright side, weekend!!!! Singgah city makan kurma daging berlaukkan nasi (literally) kat Abra Kebab Wintergarden. Lapar lagi, so melantak chips Red Rooster. Dahaga, so pekena Taro Milk besor kat Myer. Ingat nak beli Krispy Kreme, tapi tetiba rasa jemu lak mulut membayangkan donut2 berkalori tingginya. Line pun panjang gila, despite just recently opening a new kiosk in Myer Centre.
Spent 30 mins terhegeh2 mencari bas 412, bukan dulu kat Casino ke???? Dah la bila aku call Translink operator dia kata kat "Adelaide St, aproaching George St". Cari2, tak jumpa. Call sepam lagi, answering machine lak jawab "George St, approaching Adelaide St". What!??!?! Call my housemate, dia lak kata, "kat Casino". Pun tak jumpa. Teringat lak member aku sorang kata dekat depan Pub Irish tuh (O'Brien?? O'Malley's?? O'Reilly's??). Takde gak..Menapak lak ke belah Conrad Hotel, pun takde..pancit kaki aku berjalan by now tahap nak menyumpah2 dah, last2 jln balik ke Adelaide St, kat corner of George St by chance...tiba2 ternampak Bas 412!!! Lariiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohooo!! Nightmare has ended, I'm free! Sejuk gila kat luar tuh!! Lega dapat lepak dlm bas balik.
Turns out the bus stop was set such that the bus would be heading towards the city (previously the stop was set so it heads away from the city, time dia depan JB HiFi dulu.) Because of that, I retained the same assumption and didn't bother looking for buses facing the opposite direction. Alhamdulillah.
Esok friendly lawan Brunei. Cayalah!! Can't wait!! What a cracking game we're having tomorrow!! Good night.
