Jack waves a goodbye

Jack spends the day in Seremban, for me to spend some quality time catching up with cousin Sha before she goes back to campus life. After lotsa fun and laughter we both waved her goodbye.

Have fun in Russia, though we know you hate the cold there. Lotsa luck and love, lovely cousin. Muaks.

Jack ERL

Jack sits obediently waiting for me in Putrajaya ERL station while I pay a one-day working visit to Singapore.

Singapore... wah! Got trees! Got so many flats and apartments! Got normal non-kiasu looking people! I'm amazed! So clean! So neat! People so law-abiding! Must put seat belt in taxi back seat! No dirt on roadside! No grass growing beyond kerb outline! People queuing properly!

Even the road and cars seems so neat and tidy. It took me some time to realise it looked so nice and neat because of the unusual (to me) absence of dented protons and peroduas.

What, my first trip to Singapore you say? How on earth did you guess?

Tired Jack

Mileage: 14399 km

Jack is drop dead tired. So is the person driving him around.

Our day today
Subang [jam jam jam jam]
- Terminal 2 Subang Airport [Immigration, collect passport]
- Cyberjaya [work]
- Dengkil [lunch]
- Cyberjaya [work]
- Bangsar [attempt get tickets]
- Subang [home. finally]

It's not the distance thats tiring, but the congestion and broken traffic lights and peak hour traffic and dirty smelly smoke from lorries and swarming motorcyclists and ...

Jack Housed

Yesterday, good-boy Jack stayed at home while I did the rounds at the local banks nearby.

Visited four local banks banks with the same enquiries and the same results - I am currently not qualified to a housing loan (of my asking price lah) after taking into account my substantial hire-purchase loan amount. Translated: no, we cannot loan you the amount you want, based on your salary, because you are paying too much for your car loan already.

For the xxx-th time I am wondering if Jack was a good buy after all. Granted, when I got him I didn't yet plan on getting a house in the near future.

All the good-buy-or-not doubts simply vanish when I am driving Jack though. The sheer driving pleasure is worth it. I love you, Jack.

Note: This post and actions taken are inspired partly by WK. Thank you, this post is a testament that you are changing lives yourself.

Jack Affair

Mileage: 12789 km

Jack goes to Grandma's in Cheras for my "parents-of-both-parties official-meeting to discuss-and-arrange-matters" affair (more widely known as meminang) .

Since the blog is about Jack, this is about as much of a public announcement there is going to be. Who? What? When? How? you ask? If you don't already know and you reeaalllly need to know ask me.

Jack Duties II

Mileage: 12497 km

Jack just back from the second of his KLIA duties. Full house, for once all members of the family under one roof.

Jack Shorts

Some goings-on recently

1) Petrol price up again
Barely two months since it last went up, petrol prices got raised another 10 sens to RM1.62 per litre. Jack becomes more of a liability, but he is still fun to drive.

2) 45 mins from USJ 5 junction to SS15 junction in a Monday 7.30am jam
I was able to actually read a book in the jam, and it wasn't a standstill jam(!). It was crawling so slow you couldn't feel it. I swear I'm never working in KL while staying in Subang.

3) Traveller Jack goes Ampang
Jack takes a drive on the MR2 to Ampang and back, to send my handsome cousin back. Sorry for the scares, cuzzies, but Jack's nice to highway-drive that I sometimes forget to brake decently. =P
