Where Are Thou?

Where Are Thou, New Car?

Am now at Menara T.M. Lobby waiting for hubby to finish up his meeting.

He is a busy man now. Told him that I feel like married to a two-engineers. Or 1.7 or so… With two regions to look after, the meetings are really taking up his 8:00 – 5:00 time, breakdowns are killing his mobile battery and people are pulling him here and there. He had just lost his new blue tooth charger (which make my anniversary gift useless), lost his ASB and Maybank Saving book. He is also due to pay for the new house deposits of Utilities. On top of that, he has a car owner to be searched, confirmed, paid. Don’t forget his bowling league at every Tuesday night plus the not-so-motivated team mates whom need pushing. *..sigh..* looks like he has more in his plate.

I am not going to nag about the new car eventhough I growled inside. Don’t wanna make him think that I was not sincere sharing my car. He has already so much bogged down stuffs in his head, he can’t bear another nagging wife. Plus, if I nag, he’ll mull over whether he has married a supporting and understanding wife. But if a girl used to live with a car of her own, she’ll lost the purpose of life once she lost one (okay, maybe that sounds so dramatic!). The other day when he temporarily borrowed Mama’s MyVi, I roamed the mall like a depressed man deprived from Sex! (haha.. so Sex is equally exciting, I know!) I zassed the credit card like nobody business and thank God the ever so efficient Maybank Mastercard was having problem forcing me to use the Debit Card, instead.

(So, never deprive Clipperseep from driving a Car and roaming a Mall)

Truth is, he is a perfectionist. He’ll think zillion times of the new car he’s purchasing, whether it should be Sentra or City, whether it should be new or second-hand, whether it should be purchased from Owner or Dealer, whether the color suits his color-blind eyesight. I let him think, don’t wanna rush things over. It’s his car, anyway.

Coming back to the many many tasks he has to do, I feel that he could buy time if he is given more time to stay back at work. He has never been the type of guy who will burn the midnight oil for work, unlike his immediate Boss who never comes back home unless the clock has struck 8:00 p.m.

So the new car gotta to be in place sooner so that I can come back home to pick AZ from the baby sitter. Stuffs that the new house Utilities’ deposits can be delegated to me.

My card is on the table:
1. The car will not be in the existence until early April 2006. He’ll take the whole month of February to search, the whole March to negotiate with owner and the first half of April for loan and JPJ settlement.
2. The Maybank saving book will be re-issued latest by February 2006, he probably take 1st Feb Territory Day to do that in Bangi.
3. The ASB book will only be re-issued in May 2006 (and the money (lots of them!) due to be transferred to ASB will sit in his Maybank Saving until then, count the interest he is losing for keeping the money in cash!).
4. The money I invested for his blue tooth will remain useless since he is not buying the charger (he lost both the car charger and the real one) until middle of February.
5. He will not have time to search and download for my PDA food journal. He’ll spend one day in early February feeling mad after finding out I have purchased one from the Internet.

My task list, on the other hand:
1. I am yet to register with BEM.
2. I am yet to find a Biro Angkasa form to do monthly deduction to ASB for AZ education fund.
3. Do monthly deduction for Pusat Zakat Selangor from my paycheque.
4. Go to Tabung Haji to print my own book.
5. Go to Tabung Haji to open up AZ account. (it’s the only saving account with good return which allows a baby as a holder)

Can’t definitely drag him to drive me settling all those. Therefore, the new car must be in sooner which is .. hold on lemme see the betting card, oh yes… early April.

Again, clipperseep is reminding herself of a commitment she made to support her husband’s career. His choice of running two regions at the same time will contribute to his career development. The last I want to make deaRhusband feels is torn apart between work and wife. The wife can move by herself, settling some stuffs.

If she is granted a car.
