Driving happily with Piggy and sister to state for dinner. Half way approaching the destination. Pigger mentioned about ROAD TAX. Ohhh Sh*t!! My road tax due on 31 March 2007! I forgot to change a new one (actually I have renew it 2 weeks ago, but I left it at home). **make a cross sign** Hoping there is no road block later. After the happy meal. We talk all the way home… Why are there yellow light shinning in front one. Hmmmm … my heart beats faster than normal. For God’s sake, don’t tell it’s road block. **Getting closer** Oh.. no, it’s Murphy’s Law, it is ROAD BLOCK! I’m dead! the conversation as below:
Piggy: Just pretend that you don’t know your road tax is due.
Me: Hmmm…. okay.
**A policeman giving sign to stop me car at road side**
I keep repeating to myself: HCY, steady gal.
**wind down my window**
Police A: Hey, tahu keh road tax sudah expired?
Me: Hmmmm…. **shrug**
Pigger: Ehhh…. not next week meh?
Me: Ohh Yaaaa… should be next week mah. No meh?
Police B thought both of us don’t know what is road tax and explained: Cukai Kenderaan sudah expired 1 hari.
Police A: Tak percaya? Awak boleh turun and tengok. Bagi license.
**Giving driving license, and police takes a look and comes back**
Police A: Bagi license yang ada photo.
** giving another license with photo one**
Police A: Hey, you orang mana? Kerja kah?
Me & Piggy pointing behind: Dia pelajar UM. ** actually not answering his questions…what a good pretender.**
Police A: Then you kerja lah? Boleh bayar saman lah?
Me: Errhhh, I baru kerja saja. **Bluffing like nobody’s business**
Police A: Sudah renew road tax keh? Jika sudah renew, boleh bagi satu chance.
Piggy: Then bagi lah chance. Kita ambil cuti esok pergi renew. Semalam ialah Sabtu, hari ini Ahad, mana boleh renew?
Police A: Mana saya boleh pasti you akan renew esok.
Piggy: Saya boleh bagi telefon dan encik boleh ikut untuk pastikan.
Police A: Ikut untuk pasti? Itu bukan tugas saya!
Police B looking at piggy and sister said: Bagi IC.
Piggy: I pun kena bagi IC ah?
**Piggy and sister giving IC**
Police A looking at me and said: bagi IC.
**giving my IC to police A**
Piggy: Encik, sudah expired satu hari saja. Bagi lah chance. Esok pergi renew.
**Police A and police B looking at the ICs and licenses and they give it back to us**
Police A: I bagi satu chance untuk you, I sudah catat nombor plat. Jika tak renew, I akan tahu.
Me: okay. Encik boleh check sama ada renew tak esok. Terima kasih.
**Putting back my license and IC into my purse with my shaky hands**
Piggy: Just don’t care you license and IC first! Drive away first!
**Me quickly speed away with my fast beating heart**
Peuw…..! I nearly have to paid a saman which is 4 times of my ROAD TAX! So, a reminder to my friends out there. Please put your renew road tax in your car while awaiting your existing road tax to expire.
