I know everyone! I'm really not good in making promises. Lol. I mentioned previously that I'll be posting the second part of my worst Thursday the day after my my first post but it seems that I wasn't able to do so. Argh...blame it on me the lazy bone! So, anyway here it is the second part also the last one. Finally, after waiting for almost 40 minutes or so, my missus finally came out of the Land & Transport building. I was so relieved to see her mincing swiftly towards the car. I was saying to myself, "Thank goodness!" But, just as she was about to get into the car my phone suddenly rang and it was the academic assistant from school (who is also my buddy). He told me that I was supposed to teach another kid at 9am. When I looked at the time it was already 8:40! "What the heck!" How was I supposed to reach school in the rush hour of the morning? To make the long story short, I did manage to drop my missus off at her school and also reach my school at around 9:30! Thank heavens a colleague of mine covered for me for the first 30 minutes of my class. So yeah, everything went smoothly after that. At noon time, I managed to make a few successful phone calls to my car dealer and financier. Thanks to technology, I again managed to get hold of a copy of my blue book (well, part of it) through the fax machine. I couldn't imagine what hell I would have to go through if the fax machine wasn't invented! Now that I have a copy of my blue book, the next thing I need is the certificate from the engineer (well, thats what they call the person who does the inspection for your LPG system over here). Again, I made another quick call to my mechanic while waiting for my missus (around 3:30pm) and asked him whether it is possible for me to get my certificate that evening. And to my disbelief he said "Yes, if you can catch him before he leaves at 4." Yikes! That was like 30 minutes more! As soon as I hung up my missus showed up and off we went! I can really say that God was really on my side that day! We managed to get the certificate from the engineer and also found out that it was still possible for us to speed off to the Land & Transport department and get our car registered! Again, we were truly blessed! When I was submitting my documents to the people at the department, I was supposed to give them a copy of my passport too. How was I to give them a copy of mine because the nagging photocopying lady on the ground floor just went home! Argggh! However, to my surprised the ladies who were on duty that late evening only looked at each other and said "Mai pen rai noh!" and accepted my documents anyway. Phew! I was so R-E-L-I-E-V-E-D! To sum it all, we drove off that evening with smiles stuck on our faces! You guys know what? I think I need to capture those stressful moments in the form of funny t shirts.
