Gotta love Malaysian drivers sometimes.
On my way to the office this morning while
speeding down the DUKE (minimal traffic
wahooey!), I realised that the cars in the
incoming lane to my right kept flashing
their headlights at us. Immediately the
cars in our lane slowed down.
Five minutes later, we drove right
past a traffic police flag-down.
(Note to self: Careful on Sundays)
Saved!
Road solidarity, my brothers and sisters.

Sent this ^ to Opu:
"You're already missing your Sunday
dates with the Bank, aren't you?"
I almost had a heart attack when
Encik Azhar waltzed in to a dangdut
tune on his walkman (his walkman,
guys - no one else I know has them
anymore - he's such a classic dude).
We said our hellos and that was it.
Encik Azhar doesn't talk that much,
even more so to us ladies in the
Negotiations Section. I think we
give him a headache sometimes.
The office is never really a fun
place to work on the weekends,
especially since the central a/c
doesn't run. This accounts for a
kind of stuffiness that is most
extreme on those days with
hot afternoons. Like this one.
Suddenly I hear this noise from
behind my island. I looked up to
see what Encik Azhar was doing.
It turns out that he was dragging
a humongous standing fan from
the back of the department to
a spot right next to me.
Click. He turned it on.
"This should make you feel better."
Then he strolled back to his desk.
I stared at him for a moment,
surprised at this unprecedented
gesture, before finally remembering
to croak out a grateful "Thank you!"

People have been unnecessarily kind today.
Strangers on the road; an elder colleague.
It should signal the start of a good week.
At least, let's hope so.
Are you doing okay out there too?
