...al-Fatihah to Adik Nurin.

The moment the music dies.

I went out for lunch with friends today. Being a passenger in a newly borrowed MPV, i felt very impressive. I studied the MPV's whole internal surrounding and start imagining my kids running and giggling in this large, spacious area while being entertained by the DVD plays on the LCD screen. Oh, very much comfort...

Finished lunch. Back in the basement area.

I open the back passenger slider door to get in the abovementioned vehicle. Everything seems perfect, until when I tried to slide-close the door. The door didn't move. It gave no response to my afterlunch strength. I tried to figure out any extra techniques, buttons or whatsoever, but nothing work.

Then I jump out and try to close the door from the outside, also didn't work. Finally, with full determination, strength and some curses, the door finally closed.

There goes all the wonderful imagination, the love at first ride. This spacious, beautifully-built vehicle is neither meant for me, nor my family...
