Survivor

It was a long week. Tough decisions on the job with cust and dealing with various tricky delivery issues.

I had 2 trainings to attend which ended on Friday after 2 weeks. It was valuable as I learnt a lot about speaking skills and handling deliveries with a breeze(or should I say let's hope! ).

Nonetheless come weekend, I did nothing but chill. Took the Volvo to change the bulb. Ended testing the mechanics 240 Volvo which he intends to sell. He asked me to offer price which I am still considering. He said cheap cheap lah coz he already got 5 and gonna buy another one. His wife and neighbours screwing him as his exact words. Surprisingly after seeing me grow up as a kid, he just let me take the car out for a spin. It was great behind the wheel of a Volvo. The feeling of solidness and security was there. It was a great car though already 27 years old! It had that nostalgia feeling while on the road. I basically grew up with Volvos, hence the temptation of owning one. I only go for 80s and 90s models coz reminds me of the time dad had them and drove me in.

Yes! I finally went to dentist for scaling after 3 years! I could not remember having a record with the clinic in Gelugor but they managed to locate my details. I had this fear of going dentist. Dad was like why never go so long and advised me to take these health things more seriously. The last visit was in 2004.

Reached home just in time to wash my car which was not washed for 2 weeks. Went to church and followed by dinner with the folks and my aunts and uncles from KL and England. The Myvi is just great and I happy with it. We have bonded and have this attachment. Typical of single ppl. Get a life Trev! Haha!

Later that night, met my Volkswagon buddy at Esplanade. We chatted for almost 2 hours about cars and his family life. Tommorrow, have plans to meet up with him at Pantai Robina as they having monthly VW gathering. I am just going for fun and see what is all the fuss about the Beatle!

Interestingly enough, I learnt something kinda true from the VW guy.
People can never have enough in life. The things missing they want the most but the things they already have they don't take time to realize and appreciate.

Still in my chill mode and may watch some series of the OC. Suba my colleague always thought that OC is Orphan Child. It's actually Orange County for those who don't know.

Btw, Astro sux. They revamped all the channels and I don't know where the channels are now. Dad was like you didnt know of the change. Please explain to me when have I last watched the telly! Haha!
