....the story behind it ....

ok, the story behind it all...(malasnya aku nak menaip..argh bercinta!)
after the accident, i had to look for a workshop to get my car repaired. I would prefer to send it to proton edar however, the proton edar service centre just recentlu moved and they didb't have a service and repair contractor yet, so had to go to EON, waiting time: 2 months..no way! So, after getting reluctant assistance from my insurance company (no need to mention which..hampeh), they suggested one in Tasik Jaya. The guys said, everything will be settled (claim and repairs) in a week or most 10 days. After 2 days, the claim was approved, a week later, i came called the mechanic, he said the car is just waiting to be painted. I was relieved so i decided to give a surprise visit. Sure i was the one surprised, coz they haven't finished doing the repairs, let alone paint. Huhu..menyirap darah aku, still i kept my cool. Then, a fews days later, i called again, ready? answer: almost.2 hari lagi kak....ok.... Sabar lagi...finally on the 15th day i called, the mechanic gave me all sorts of excuses why the car is not ready yet...one of them: pekerja saya cuti la kak, banyak sgt kenduri, cuti sekolah....aku sabar lagi when he said, but you can collect your car on saturday.I'll call u, he said. So saturday passed, no news from the friggin guy. Come Sunday, i called my friend and told him about the whole mess , he asked for the mechanics number, konon nak gi hentak la org tu. I didn't know where i got the courage to call the mechanic myself and let him know all my feeling. I really blew...didn't give him a chance to speak. This time, i spoke using bahasa negeri...that i guess really made him understand haaaaa..pueh hati den. the reason i gave him why i wanted the car so bad coz i start work the next day (tipu konon cuti sekolah dah habis, aku nak gi ngajar)...he asked me to pick the car in the morning...huh, lucky i didnt go in the morning. The car was only ready at 5pm!! The coward didn't even called me, got his brother to call. 18days!!!! thats how long it took to do repairs to my car which only cost RM800. Bukannya kerja besar pun..tapi lombab. Kang aku kata melayu malas, marah..tapi memang pun hampeh!!!
however, the incident did leave me with some guilt. After all the shouting and threatening, i feel bad. But sometimes if we are nice, people take advantage and people dont take us seriously. But we have to be hard (and rude) just to get the attention (or servise) that we want.
Benci la cam ni. I wanted to say sorry to the mechanic however he left before i got to say it to him. Passed to his brother my apologies and hope he will get the message.
Haaaaaaaaaa penatnya typing....
