Ode to the nincompoops

You see I am not the kind of guy who would like to generate hate on a regular basis but…How can I help if things around me are constantly pissing me off. Things that are not of my fault, you see. Had it been so I ll definitely be pissed but not as enraged as I am right now. However there something unique whenever you are upset by the things that were caused by others; others you don’t even know. Have you ever been mad by someone you don’t even know? Someone you can not even pin point. Need an idea of what I am rambling about? Ok it’s that burned up anger you feel when your car suddenly got dented, scratched all without knowing who did it. You get so agitated but the problem is you never know who to blame. In my case at I know who is at fault but who exactly remains a billion dollar question. It’s like this, in Malaysia there s this thing called “lobang jalan” which in English is called potholes. Yeah yeah I know those things not only happen in Malaysia. The forking thing is its sooooo common (especially in Kl) that people consider it as a normal thing. Its as tough potholes are part of Kl’s identity and image. Why the fork is that? Are we so comfortable with life here that we don’t care about the wrong things happening around us? I just wished I can go in front of the person responsible for this and shout in his face “Why the fork are there potholes when I have to fork out my forking pay for the road tax?” There are sooo many people responsible for the roads in Kl so you just cant pint point who to blame. I guess it starts from the top (whoever fork you are!). Why is this nincompoop not earning his pay by ensuring roads are built well? Is it because you nincompoops are so well taken care of that you do not care to enforce what you are responsible for?

The reason I am so pissed off is because on Sunday I sent my car to the workshop for service. I knew the car was beginning to sound funny and such but I did nt realize my car was so forked up until it needed 800+ worth of repairs. Yeah yeah some of you might argue it’s a small sum to pay for. I guess so if you make 4 to 5 grand a month. Still that does not justify paying for something you should nt. My car is standard I don’t try to modify it and make it faster than it should. Other then the wheels everything else is standard. I do make it a point to ensure that it is serviced regularly because I do not want to get the shock of my life when I suddenly have to spend a lot of cash for repairs. Which still happened to me. That’s why I am a bit ticked off when this happened. Its not as if I didn’t take good care of my car, from a scale of 1 to 10 Id say the car is taken care at a rate of 7. My suspensions had to be replaced (this is the second time k), my bearings we re messed up, my engine mounting was so forked up. Most of this was said to be normal; part of the wear and tear of Kl cars. Why? Because of dem forking potholes. See normal, why the fork so? Why cant roads be made with safety in mind? Do they expect us to dodge all the potholes we see. Then what? Knock some other car in the process. When I drive I try to be a safe as possible. Having said that, does nt mean I don’t have my Schumacher moments. But I never like to make sudden change in direction when I drive cause you never know there might be another car beside you or a bicycle in your blind spot. So weather I like it or not there are times that I run over the potholes. What concerns me most is that there are soo many potholes. Even when these road builders are tarring up the roads trying to make it so called smoother they are still making potholes. You know the drainage lids, the one where the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles laaa) come out from? Yup that one, whenever the road is resurfaced or re-tarred it will cause the road to ‘thicken’. So these lids will sort of get buried slightly causing it to turn into your ever friendly potholes. There are just loads more potholes causes that I can mention but then again I have a job to do unless I wanna be a full time blogger then I can write about all of it. All I wanna say is to all those responsible for the potholes “Fork the road minister, Fork the road officer, fork the contractors, fork the overweight lorries, fork the pothole makers. All you mother forkers, fork you too. All of y'all mother forkers, fork you, die slow mother f**ker” ala 2 Pac’s Hit Em up la gitu hahah….

By the way did I mention that right now I have a lump on my just replaced 6 month year old tyre/wheel? Plus most of my rims are busted. All yet to be fixed. Yipeeeeeeee! Kah Kah Kah Kiok ….

Fork It!
