The principal for the product I'm managing came down from Singapore today with a new guy whom I'm supposed to be working closely with for the entire duration I'm going to be employed in this company. Took them out to Tesco at Mutiara Damansara for lunch with my Division Manager and spent the next hour after a great lunch at Mdm Lim's Kitchen walking around getting a feel of their cleaning operations, type of flooring etc.
On the way back after getting my ticket at the Kota Damansara toll, Ignatius asked me something and I turned around to answer him. At the exact time, I took the wrong turning, supposed to turn right and I went and turn left. The road leads to Sg Buloh and Ipoh. So he jokingly asked me "Are we going to Ipoh for dinner now?" My boss flashed me a sarcastic smile and for the next half an hour they were engaged in a conversation about how men can't multitask. Thank God for Guthrie Corridor Expressway or I would have to use the long way back to Shah Alam on a sleepy Wednesday after a big meal!
I guess I must have been sleepy or something cos when I reached home, I reversed right into the metal gate at the office carpark and my rear tail lamp which was already cracked from my reverse into a lamp-post action last year cracked a further 2 pieces and now one is missing! It probably shows that after 15 years of driving, I'm still bad at it. (hears clapping and cheering)
Well the only consolation about it was that at 5:30 when the siren went off I was already at the punch card machine getting ready to shoot off and join the usual gang on the highway burning fuel and wearing off my brake pads. Yup, the 1 hour crawl home.
Oh well, you can't have good days everyday right? This is probably one of my not so good ones!
