Mat Iji? Mat Iji Who??

Last week, when I was still working, I got a phone call. Blackberry showed a prefix of 016.

Hello
me said
Hello voice from the other end said. a male.
Ni Kak R******** ker?
Iya.
Ini Mat Iji.
Ha... Mat Iji? the way he spoke, as if, I should know him.
Matttt IIIIjjiiii.
Sapa?
Ni xxxx (his real, full name) dari MYEG.
Ohhhh, sorry.
Ni akak punya road tax. Saya ada kat bawah, kat lobi. Boleh akak turun?
Dik, alamat tu kalau tak silap tingkat 14 kan?
Yelah, saya naik (ada sikit irritated suaranya)



That was my 3rd renewal. The first time was in July 2008. I took all the trouble going to AmBank in AmCorp Mall to do my insurance and then climbed up the hill on the opposite of AmCorp to JPJ to renew my driving license and road tax. Masa tu, my confinement was just over. In 2009 I decided to out-source all the trouble to Jah. Everything went smoothly. Insurance renewed. Road tax renewed. Minus the hassle. For 2010, obviously I'd gone and asked her once more heh heh.



So, this is my car, parked in front of our gate. VeeVaaVoom yang berjasa selama 3 tahun dah. It first made its way into our home gate on 4th July 2007. Born on the 4th of July, as I always put it. Happy 3rd Birthday lil fella!

* Read all my entries on this little fella, here.

On a totally unrelated matter, for lunch today, I prepared Beef Chop Suey (recipe here), ikan gelama goreng and the infamous budu.
