Beetle oh Beetle....

Classic beauty......a head turner, a looker, by both the old and the young.
are they looking at 'it' or the person behind the wheel?Definitely the former, for she's a beauty, even though the model is from the 70s but it sure does beat the new models, it's compact, it's tough, rugged and it sure can beat a 'kancil' any day ....
most people underestimate its power, whenever they see this "kura kura", they would surely give a signal or making a sign to overtake her but oh no you don't, this beauty just let out her 'motor boat' roar, its distinct sound and off she goes, leaving them behind .....
I have been driving her these past few days, from taking the kids to school, to buying my eggs, cream cheese and butter, from fetching my son from the airport to meeting friends at the Karnivall Kahwin Kahwin at the Sultan Abdul Halim Stadium and also to attending to customer's wedding.

i am just relating one incident the other day, being an almost a warga emas myself......am i really that old?, keep forgetting things, I have this short memory loss of forgetting where I keep my things or what do I need to get from the kitchen , etc, etc...and on this particular day, I was supposed to send my daughter to her tuition center and I asked the kids to look for the car key for me for it is not in its normal place,
'Hurry up! We are already late, where's the car key? when I looked out, and noticed that the car was not there, it was not at its usual parking spot either , aik. no car key and now, no car? then I remembered hubby drove the car for its long overdue servicing.......
and so I took this key, with its Eiffel tower key chain, yup , my dream is to go to Paris one day..... and when I opened the gate and looked out the gate, my volks was nowhere in sight? %*^&@##??? What? how? why?
where's the car?Where's my old Beetle? i came back in and there she was, right where my hubby left it, in the 'porch' in its usual spot.OMG! What's got into me? age is sure creeping up on me!!
so, what's the moral of the story?
not much just, breathe in, breathe out, take it easy, jangan kelam kabut.....relax....take a deep breath.......and let go.........eeeeasssyyy..........

  2. She's a beauty alright,lee, a few have made some offers for it but we are not willing to let it go just yet, nantilah at least , let you naik dia dulu ronda ronda alor setar.....we might not even let it go at all, so sayang..

  3. Hi Zue, ya, I understand....about saya the car. Here in Canada too, lots of people keep their cars, sometimes till they too old to drive, but refuse to sell, 'part of the family'....tiga generations drive the car.

    Keep the car, Zue....there's no more like it.
    A baby Porche, ha ha.
    Have a fun Sunday.
    Lee.
