Bandar Sunway
It has been months, since I moved to this housing area.
I was offered a decent job at a well established Oil & Gas engineering company in Sunway. We were doing a big LNG Plant project for PETRONAS. Obviously, my dear wife asked me to maybe try to look for a house somewhere in the locality. Previously, we were renting a terrace house somewhere in Cheras. As we already had 2 kids by that time, it makes more sense to start to maybe purchase our own house.
By this time, Ahwaz was already 2 years old and Awateef was coming to 1. The house was not new, but the price (because of the location), was almost double from the original. Anyway, I think Bandar Sunway is quite strategic. There's the big Pyramid shopping mall and the Medical Centre, and many highways nearby viz. KESAS, Federal, LDP, NPE etc.
Our house is at the end of the road. Meaning that, no cars can pass through. Hence it's quite safe for the children to play outside.
One late evening nearly Maghrib time, while my kids were playing happily outside under my wife supervision, I heard loud dog barking outside the house and saw the wife and kids frighteningly running back into the house.
I was in the house at that moment, ready to shower, wearing nothing but just a very short shorts (boxer shorts) and bathing towel, and obviously topless. Off course, with the bare chest and all, the wavy chest-hair will be thoroughly exposed.
I was getting so angry and really upset at the situation and grabbed my cricket bat while still holding the water bucket in the other hand. That Pakistani-made AS Falcon cricket bat has served me well as I already made 5-6 sixes with it.
I chased the dog away until halfway down the block. To be fair, the dog was kinda cute. Not the nasty Rottweiler kind. Anyway, I hit the water bucket so hard until it was broken into pieces with my bat and screamed out loud,
"WHO'S DOG IS THIS? WHY DON'T YOU PROPERLY LEASH YOUR DOG?"
"IF THE DOG DISTURBS MY KIDS AGAIN ... I WILL KILL THE DOG !!!"
There was an awkward silence in the whole block.
I almost slipped my towel.
Anyway, from that day onwards, there were no more dogs running around freely at our housing block.
My wife, instead of praising me she in turn said, "Why la you did like that, like a crazy fella."
