Off day: Stupid mistake!

Kota Kinabalu, Leisure, Off Day, Papar, Son Josh April 5th, 2008 | Viewed 1,177 views

Continued from previous Papar trip. In a hurry now, reached KK (Kota Kinabalu) and my home junction in less than an hour and only then I realized, the house gate remote control key left with my sister. Apalah!!! I could not go back just for this remote. Then I remember, aha – wife has the other copy. Sadly, I keep calling her but no answer. She must be really busy, in a meeting or something that after few of calls left unanswered.

Never mind I said to myself. I just jump the gate because I have the house key. Reached home, parked just beside my gate and bring Josh to the gate. After thorough investigation, I told myself, I can do this. After all, the gate is not that tall. After some acrobatic and some heart pumping action, I managed to be in my compound. Phheewww. Can you guess what happen then?

Yalor. How stupid of me. Now my son left behind the gate and he is like, “Papa, Papa, Papa, myJosh jump?”

So ‘Bodoh’ of me! He is supposed to be the first one inside the house compound not me. I was like “Bodoh kau Jon” saying to myself. Lucky I have not modified or made the proper gate yet. It’s still the original gate, the flimsy one. I am not tall so this maneuver of uplifting my son from the other side to my side really taxing me. I was like matilah if jatuh ngam2 in the middle, tercucuk perut si Josh this. you know. Somehow, I managed. Josh has no punctured tummy and no scratch. Cilaka i said to myself. Wife found out later… got scolded for my stupidity. “How in the world you left your son on the outside when you already inside. He is the one inside first”. I agree. I was stupid :(

Lucky i found the gate remote control key (and not the HDMI switches) somewhere in the house. So my car is safe inside afterward.

Ok that’s all about my Papar trip and my stupidity. To those wanna know about my other stupidity, please check it is not funny at all!

Off day: Papar Trip!

Yeah, lets go to Papar! I could not remember when is the last time I was in Papar. I used to stay in Riverfield Village for 6 months. Oh ya, Riverfield is actually Kg. Sungai Padang in Malay :D . My sister’s place actually.

Anyway, after sending wife to work, I surprised Josh saying,

“Josh, follow Papa to Koh Koh Effie’s house ok. We go change car. Papa’s blue car.”
“Really Papa. O’rite.”
“Papa, go take Papa own car?”
“Yes, Josh. Follow Papa ok?”
“Oke.”
He was so happy that I did not let him stay with my auntie with the twins. He hates us for working and leaving them behind there. So sad. Sometimes have to force him to be behind the door and close it immediately. So sad but have to.

Anyway, off we go. Well only after the car washed and his breakfast of sausage bun at Kepayan. Now wait, actually thinking back, I actually went back home and take my camera. A blogger cannot go anywhere without the camera bah. Hahaha.

Papar is actually not far. Only 35KM from my home. My normal drive to Papar only take me around half an hour but since I was with my son Josh, I decided to really enjoy the ride and take our sweet time together. I even open the car’s window so the wind can blow our hairs. No effect actually because both of us spiky hairs. Hahaha. I know he enjoyed it so much from his actions and questions.

“Papa, Papa, what is that?”. Pointing to the fallen coconut tree blocking half the road. I said, “Tree. Bad tree. Not friend.” Hahahaha. We usually communicate like this. Anything not good, is ‘bad one’. Anything good is ‘Friend’. Too much counterstrike and online gaming. Hahaha.

“Papa, Papa, wahhh so faessst (fast) like Ferrari”.
“Papa, Papa, got wind in myjosh’s eyes!”. Hahahahaha.

Anyway, after all the wind blowing and father-son chit chatting, guess what? He just dozed off!

josh is sleeping in the bucket seat

So boring all alone again. To cut thing short, reached sister’s place just about one hour and 20 minutes (I know, very slow kan), change the car and even took the bucket seat out and placed to my own car without Josh’s realized. He was still asleep. Hahaha.

The only picture I took of Papar, around the roundabout on the way back. The famous Gongs!

Papar\'s gongs

I actually on the wrong side of the lane. Been horned like many time because I took this picture. Apalah kan :D

To be continued … the next one got something to do about car insurance. Betul this.
