I'd Come For You

Second of the seven posts promised, but with some extra updates on what happened today, so fucking funny that I'm categorizing this under 'Jokes':

Kati came back late last night, & he wanted to send his car to P.J. for a service. Chan followed as well, so after Kati left his car at the workshop, we went around searching for food. I used the Jalan Klang Lama way as it's one of my favourite route to leave the Midvalley area. And as I turned it at a traffic light into Sri Petaling, there was a roadblock set by JPJ (or Road Transport Authority). We weren't worried as we're very sure that they are checking for those seating at the back without seatbelts, and we're all buckled up earlier. But, one of the officers still asked us to pull over to the side of the road, and another requested for my license. I'm not sure what have I done to the police & security guards in my past life that I have to be blocked every single time I see them. Anyway, it might be caused by the modifications done to my car. It was obvious that the officer first looked in to check the seatbelts, and then walked around my car to check for illegal modifications. And I'm sure I done none, those smoked headlamps are LEGAL and on the new Myvi SE, chromed door handles are LEGAL, sport rims LEGAL (are you kidding me?), no HID on my headlamps. But the officer was particularly interested in my rear lights, and he stared at it a while before telling me that it's ILLEGAL. Yeah right.. I sat in the car, & he said that he will write a RM 300 summon and revoke my license for the lights. And he kept repeating it again & again, yet I just sat there & stared right into his eyes.

"Apasal lampu belakang bukan original? Saya sekarang tulis saman dan tarik lesen kamu ya. Saya tulis saman ya. Kamu nak kena tarik lesen ke? Nak bayar saman RM 300 ke? Saya tulis saman ya?".

Yeah, that's a common tactic for them to ask for bribes. Nope, I did not back down. Those lights are legal, you can even find some pimped-out rear lights sold with a sky-high price tag at the Perodua service centre. As he knew he won't be able to write a summon based on a non-existing 'crime', he returned my driving license & asked me to replace the lights with the original ones as soon as possible, part of the drama again. And he doesn't seem to learn either, still with his, "Itu sahaja ke? Terima kasih pun tak ada?". Go screw yourself, in my heart.

We reached a restaurant at Sri Petaling shortly after that, and after I've parked my car, I went to the machine to pay the parking fees when a DBKL officer rushed up to my car & quickly wrote down the car registration number. See how ridiculous it is? Chan & Kati quickly called the officer, & he scurried away after realising that we saw what he was doing. He obviously saw me parking the car & getting down to pay & place the ticket in my car before leaving. Unless the government is going to put a ticketing machine at the side of every single parking space available, what he did was stupid. TWICE in a day...

Just one more moment, thats all thats needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it

I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesnt matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know what just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that noone does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you

Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes i'd come for you
But only if you told me to

And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you

I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know i'll always come for you
You know i'll always come for you
