Here I am, with a fancy Degree in Electronics and I can't even open up a TV let alone a slide projector. He is the classic case of being able to survive without a Degree. For you see, when you do not know what is going to hurt/kill you, you're actually braver than those who do. I have been taught what electricity can do and how it can kill, even from an innocent electronic component and so, if you ask me to repair something, I am terrified.
Anyway, I need to get two TVs delivered to him as I could not open it without cracking the 10 -year old plastic. Which is not a problem until he tells me the exact place in Rawang, or to be more exact, Serendah. I have been there before and its just one heck of a straight road. But his place is deeper. And 10 years on, that place still has bad mobile phone reception. But we still made it despite all these hurdles in the dark.
But Rawang has changed.
Just a few hundred metres before the Highway exit, it was already jammed up with cars, even at eight in the evening. There were cars everywhere from the Rawang town to his place. This was because of a few new housing areas that was completed. Just two years ago, it was a quiet town. Now, its crazy.
Anyway, age is catching up and he is thinking about giving it all up next year to tend to an orchard for someone which he only needs to clean the place up and whatever fruits it bore, he can have it. Very impressive for someone who has no Degree and yet is responsible for the while Department's repair services.
I have his house coordinates in my GPS since the signal was strong. The next time, it would not be so difficult.

And his house has the biggest (free) mangoes Ihave ever seen! Just compare it with my 5800!
I could not refuse as I loved mangoes. And he
gave me some rambutans and langsats too and
I think my Wife who was there, also tried to
refuse since it was too much. Ha ha ha ha!
