I’m arrived Tawau at 6.00 am. Hiadayat was there to fetch me using the Hilux.
After took a breakfast with my in law there, I then took a bath so that we could go to Semporna earlier because my sister in law, Rosmiah, has to work in the evening.

We arrived at Semporna at 10.00am, Rosmiah met her boy friend there, and we took some drink then proceed to the Doctor’s house. After a few minute he came back with his Gen-2 which he wants to sell. I make a test drive about 15 minutes around the Semporna Town, then came back to his house.

After a few talk, then I agree to take a car but with a condition that I just continue the CCM. He agrees, without any payment make to him. So we drove back to Tawau to AMBank for some other bank regulation that we have to clear out.

About an hour drive back (The distance between Semporna and Tawau is about 100km) we arrived at Tawau’s AMBank.  The Doctor was already in the counter when I arrived. So, have an explanation from the bank officer there. He said, I as a buyer, have to make a new loan, re-loan, for an amount of the car current price, so that I can change the name for the car. I cannot just easily change the name and continue the CCM. I’m not agreeing since I have to add the amount of RM4000 for all the process and down payment.

When we outside the bank, we one more time try to make a deal. Another choice that he has if he want to sell his car is to make an agreement with a lawyer as a witness, let me use the car and pay the CCM, until the end of the period then give the agreement to the Bank for change the name what so ever. Then he not agree.

So we both do not achieve any decision that suite to both of us. Then we both go home with a little frustration.

We need a new car. In present we drive Kancil. My wife suggest that we have to find a bigger car. Well, women. So, last two day we went to one car shop to look for a car. Not to choose a car but to ask for a price, loan interest, down payment and CCM. In my mind, the target was Waja. After a few info from the car salesman, she’s became more excited.

This morning, when she called her mom in Tawau, told her mom that last two days we went to watch a car, her mom said that someone in Sampoerna want to sell his car. A doctor, rarely drive his Gen-2, is looking for someone to continou his car loan. My wife more excited.

Tonight I’ll take the 800pm bus to Tawau. Tommorrow I’ll go to Semporna to watch for the car, then arrange that changing the car name as well as bank loan. Hopely I’ll drive this Gen-2 from Tawau in the next two days.

Yesterday, 13th September, was Shafique’s birthday. Nothing much we made to celebrate his birthday since next three days will be his brother, Faeiz birthday. He is three years old know. Feel’s like just a few time ago he was delivered by his mom at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. But reality is, his three years old.

In this few weeks, his talking too much. He mastered a new vocabulary each day in his growth day.

Watch my kid growing up day by day infront of my very own eyes is really an honour to me. Valuable time in life. Watch him crawling, collapse during his first step walking, his very first word and etc. I’m so lucky to watch all those process with my own eyes.

We eating out last night. Go pizza. Last time when we went to Pizza Hut, both of them, Faeiz and Shafique, used the baby chair as their seat, but last night, bothe of them sat on an adult seat. So…they’re growing up. They’re also clever enough to request this and that. Dah besar dah anak aku ni.

Happy birthday Shafique

When I came back from Kuching yesterday, my wife ask me to go to UMS since there was a convocation day there, known as Tamu Gadang. So, at the evening, after back from office, we get there. Actually this is the last day of Tamu Gadang.

People still crowded at the convocation stall there which, as usual, sell T-Shirt, Souvenir, food and that DiGi stall thing. My two kids as usual uncontrollable, ran here and there when looked at something interested to them, that ballon thing. Bought the ballon to both of them, the ballon man knot the threads to their arm, so that the ballon would not fly away. Syafique is ok, he let the threads knotted to his arm, but not for Faeiz. After less than 15 minutes faeis’s ballon fly away. He loudly cried so that his mom has to bought another non fly ballon.

I found a stall which sell the second hand books. Many books was there, so I grab three fiction novel by Stephen Coont, Richard Preston and another author. I used to read the book from all of the author, and they are good writer. Secret prey, Cuba and Sphere.
