22nd of Mar: An Eventful Day!

22 Mar @ 3:00pm: It’s delivery time. This time the unit belongs to Rawing Labang, my 1st cousin from Penunus, Rimbas, Debak in Sri Aman.

This is his 2nd unit. Believe it because it is true, folks.

I first, sold him a re-conditioned Toyota stationwagon more that 25 years ago which is still under his care. And the unit is still in tip-top condition.

This unit is taken from MD Motors, Stutong as our regular supplier Utama Motors have no stocks available at the moment of mention.

Rawing waited less than a week for the registration.

And this is the 2nd unit MFSB sold to Penunus’ folks.
Hopefully, more to come soon.

We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Rawing and Family for their continued support and encouragement.

We wish you all the best for the future.

22nd Mar @ 9:30am-12:00pm: Oh, what a day! LadyJenn & I started our day rather early since school re-opens for its 2nd Term after a week long holidays.

After sending the kids off to school, we quickly changed into our office attire and off we go ….

That was before getting a call from a friend, making an appointment where to meet to discuss intention buying a “new” Perodua Viva Elite.

(For the readers’ information, MFSB is taking in his Toyota Liteace van which is about 18 or more years old. When writing this, I’ve yet to see the Registration Card.)

We decided to meet at our regular haunt, in Desa Wira, Batu Kawa. Had something light whilst continue discussion about the Viva.

And so the adventures began from there on!

Some friends called asking us to drop by Mr. Kalachi’s house somewhere along Lorong 20.

There, we met few others who are about to “let-off” their prized fighters. It’s cock-fighting session, on a Monday morning!

Other attendees were seen busy having a “BBQ” nearby.

The menu consists of pork and “ular sawa” or python, about 10 ft long. It was given by a Chinese friend, who caught it as it was busy trying to swallow our friend’s chicken.

Of course, the langkau (local moonshine/arrack) can’t be far away when this bunch grouped together. To them, it’s a delicacy. It goes down well with the “langkau.”

We soon left them around noon time as we have to fetch our kids from their respective schools.
