After being a conscientious father, the last thing any father would want to deal with is the unexpected. In this instance, Windy received a frantic phone call from his youngest son, Kevin.
Last month as the story goes, Windy was rudely awakened from his afternoon nap with this.
“Dad! I met with a bad accident along the Pasir Gudang Highway. The car is badly messed up.”
“Are you injured?”
“No, Dad, just frightened by it. What do I do now?”
“Good. Remain cool. Make no agreements with the other party till I reach you.”
And then Windy went on to explain it was frustration after frustration as he tried to make his way to meet Kevin at the accident location.
First, the car he borrowed from his neighbor to get him to where Kevin was, broke down at the first traffic lights and could not be started. He had to wait for over an hour before the car service arrived and hauled away his neighbor’s car.
Then he had to monitor everything with Kevin by remote control which of course he has acquired a great deal of experience from doing things remotely here at Blogosphere. Hahaha.
Finally, he was surprisingly blessed when he found out that the chief of the Car Repair Workshop was an ex-classmate of his eldest son, Alvin. He was given red carpet customer service and the car was repaired in a record time, considering the Insurance red tape, Police report and how it is like in his country when everyone has his/her hand in the cookie jar for that extra windfall – called bribe money to get things done.
