Weekends have been so busy it’s crazy.
We took a drive up to Malacca over one of the recent weekends to escape Sg for a while.
On the way up, the driver went “Oh no, I think I got caught [for speeding].”
Me [turning in my seat and searching for the cops and not seeing any]: Where?!? I don’t see any police! How do you know??
Him [resigned look on face]: I know.
One minute later, Mr Cop pulled up behind us.
Mr Cop [not totally serious-looking]: You ah, you were clocking 128 km / hour, do you know that?
Him [just as not-totally-serious too]: Sorry ah Sir..
Mr Cop: Our radar caught you from 7 km away you know..
Me [certain that Mr Cop will fine us]: =(
Him [digging the pocket of pants and producing 50 RM]: Sorry Sir, can give chance?
Me: ???
Mr Cop [taking the 50 RM]: Okay, chance.
Him: =)
Mr Cop: =)
Me: !!!*ding ding ding. lai friendly lai..*

Guess what we ate?

The famous chicken rice balls!
And then on the way back…
Driver: Oh no, I’m caught again.
Me: WH-AAAT??? Again?!? *turn around only to see him digging his pockets for money again* !!!
Him: *sighing to himself and ignoring me* Nevermind, I’d like to see for myself that radar which can spot people from 7km away.
One minute later.
Mr Cop [little half-smile]: You ah, you were speeding, do you know that?
Him [little half-smile too]: Sorry Sir, can give chance?
Me: !!!!!
Mr Cop [taking the 50 RM]: Okay, chance.
Him: =P
Mr Cop: =P
*cue eerie Barney music: I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family…*
Upstanding law-abiding citizen me: *speechless*
