A Minor Myvi Repair Snag – Pillar to Post Part V

This morning, during an idle moment in Ao Nang before flying back to Malaysia, my mind drifted to KK and I thought about what lies ahead at home.

My car, which is in for repairs, should surely be fixed by now and I text my insurance agent to confirm that it is.

The Myvi Saga Continues – Pillar to Post Part IV

I’m heading off to Thailand tomorrow for 9 days and I’ve had a brilliant idea.

How about I leave my car at the Bundusan Perodua while I’m away, and then surely in the meantime the insurance claim will be approved, they can start the repairs on my car and it can be ready when I get back?

Fixing my Myvi – Pillar to Post Part II

This morning at the crack of dawn I was heading to Papar.

It’s a pleasant drive as the air is still cool and there is very little traffic on the road.

I’m heading there to be at the traffic police station when they open to fetch  a copy of my accident report and be back in KK in time for work.

Fixing my Myvi – Pillar to Post Part I

Yesterday the very kind officer in charge of my case at the Papar Police Station gave me a call to get additional details about the accident.

His English was fluent, he spoke calmly and he actually made me feel as if this wasn’t going to be any hassle whatsoever to sort out.

Kampung Wedding Prang

Went to 2 of my colleagues’ wedding in Papar today, which was said to start at 9:30.  I was ever so slightly late, I thought, and arrived at 10am, yet still in time to slip in before the brides.

But this post isn’t about the wedding.

Looking back to see the future

The last 2 weeks have been a blurry fuzz fuzzy blur. Plenty of substances have been abused, which is why Week 29 is not only the week of rhyme (on my Twitter), but it’s also the week of detox: no coffee and alcohol this week.
