Last Ride On 3980

The old rusty power ride that my mom used to drive always has finally been decided to sell it away. Although the appearance looks old and rusty, but the engine are undeniable, especially on the highway. Will reach the destined place faster than expected. And the rotate-able air-conditioner blower which amazed most of my friends.

I remember they say “I never see such thing before leh!!”
So I have an objective today, to drive the car to the dealer. Meanwhile, LeongChewWai who starring in RedCliff as ZhouYu and KokSang called me yesterday seeking for help to distribute some invitation letters to other schools. So this morning, I tag along with ChewWai and have a All-Around-Klang-School-Marathon in this particular ride that about to be sell away. This makes it a last ride for me in this car. Pump the ride before we move.
The number of letters we need to distribute surprised me though, it’s regarding a seminar that going to be held by this Sunday at HICT talking about study abroad for those SPM & STPM candidates. Schools that we have visited is… let’s see how much I can remember
1)Kwang Hwa – First stop, nervous, but the security guard was friendly. Met the counsellor, she asked a lot, expected from a Chinese teacher.
2)BukitKuda – We went Holland for forgot to turn left in time, and went Holland again while finding the counselling room. Malay teacher, easy go. She also amazed that an ex-student from that school was 1 of the person in charge for the event.
3)Samad – Another Malay counsellor, easy go. And we mentioned FREE ADMISSION for the first time.
4)ChungHwa – Found this school accidentally while looking for S.M.K.KampongJawa. We went deeper area for nothing. CW requested me to speak Chinese to them there. Chinese teacher again, ask this ask that, hard to answer also, but still she’s friendly.
5)KampongJawa – Finally found it. The counsellor are ball-less, asked us to inform the Pengetua, but like we would do that, we told him if anything happen just call the person in charge… LOL! We went to pump some fuel again scaring that we would jammed half way.
6)SriAndalas – Another Chinese teacher, but this asked how can she help instead of asking for more details, great. But she did asked us to pass the letter to the office which is quite troublesome also as the clerk in the office was somehow lack of efficiency.
7)BatuUnjur – A new school to visit, CW says there’s lots of LengluiS in that school, spotted a few of them though XD. But we hate the counsellor there for don’t want to take up the responsibility in helping to distribute to the students. “This is Interact Club event right? Go find Interact Club!” End up we troubled some small kids there bringing us up and down to find someone who can take in-charge for this.
8)RajaZarina – No security guards, but still we found the counselling room. At least the counsellor willing to receive the letter and try inform as many students as possible. I called my boss after that telling her that I’ll be late today after that.
9)LaSalle – Another friendly security guard, and we happens to met and ex-HighSchool teacher there. The students speaks fluent English there. We smelled something burning around my car that time, I thought maybe there’s someone burning garbage around there.
10)STAR – The security guard looks more like a drug-addicts to me, smoking there and simply let us in. The counselling room was quite grand there, a room in the middle of the school. The counsellor is friendly.
11)Convent – The moment CW get down from the car, he says:”KahFoong, your car bonnet smoking la!” Shit! I even saw some liquid leakage there. But we don’t care first, we went into Convent first. The counsellor has been informed about it by the Interact Club there, saved lots of works. Back to the car, I discovered that the leaked is not from the water tank but some oil from the air-conditioner system. So, it’ll be fine as long as I don’t switch on the air-conditioner. I still have windows!!
12)ACS – The last school we visit. CW tries to hide himself away from his friends there for don’t know what reason. And I’m surprised to met 1 of my colleague(Kumon teacher) who studying form 6 there. Was thinking to go MGS also but the time is not allowed, no more student will be around during that time. And we were somehow tired also for being barbequed in the car without air-conditioner and under the blazing sun.
It’s time to call and off after the errand running we had, there’s still some school we need to go though but the time is not enough. Fetched CW to pay his Delta fees and I bring the car the my uncle’s work shop to meet the dealer. As the car was not in a good condition, my uncle do some repair on it first. Never thought I would screw the car on my last ride on it, no wonder it was somehow lack of power today. After that, my uncle fetched me to work, end of the last ride on 3980…
And also good bye to the old rusty but powerful 3980…
