Alright.. so this is evidently another car thing. Yes yes, I somehow get myself into stupid situations where everything could be avoided but sumhow became.. inevitable. Here we go again..
It was dark. Very dark. The pitch black of night blanketed the surroundings. The boy was driving at an average speed of 80-100 all the way throught the highway, weaving in and out of the rows of cars that lined the road. He was headed to Subang to meet up with friends that he's missed for donkey years. Finally, a time of reunion where they can actually spend time together doing things and talking again like they used to. With music blarring from the radio, he speeds on continuing the journey just enjoying the wind in his hair. Soon, he slows down and does the final turning into their street.
Upon parking his car, he steps out, takes a deep breath of the night breeze and slams his door shut n locks it. The ground was damp with the evening shower and the air was cool from the night winds. He makes his way to the house and lets himself into their front yard. He was then greeted with a bark from the family dog - Aaron. So yes, he heads into the house greeting all he meets and making himself at home. Soon, the little gathering of friends began conversing and indulging themselves in small talk and updating each other about their lives. Soon, rumbling could be heard in their stomachs and they decided to head to the nearby mamak stall.
They then heads to his car and soon, they were zooming through the quiet streets. Upon arriving, he turns the key and notices something, his car key wasn't in the shape it was before. It was curved to one side. Strange as it is, he just ignored it and joined his friends at the table they were already sitting at. The food finally arrives and they munch down everything to the last bit. Satisfied, they continued chattering away. After all that, they were getting a little tired and decided to get home and perhaps, hang around there somemore before he finally heads home himself. The food was paid for and they left.
They reached the front entrance and the car jerks to a stop. The passenger side's door haven't been working properly recently and the lock was somehow jammed. One must fiddle the key in it's lock a little before it opens up. His friend that was occupying the friend seat tries his best to open the door from the inside but fails miserably. He then climbs out the window and tries even more frantically to unlock the door. Finally, he gives up and passes the key to the boy. He of course tries his best but failed.
"Never mind then..", he says to himself out loud. He turns around and suddenly stops in his tracks. The key was no longer only mishapen. It was cracked at the side. Finding this interesting, he then runs his fingers all around the crack and plays with the key as he walked. With a soft flick, the boy gasped as the key separates into half leaving the bearer stunned. The key's end then spins into the air circling as it flies up away from it's owner. As if in slow motion, the flying tip then descends cutting through the air as it finally lands on the ground with a sound clinging sound as the metal hits the tar road. 1st it was surprise as shock. Then, the boy falls to ground holding his stomach. He bursted into laughter as his friends look on dumbfounded and amazed at the reaction. Soon, his friends joined in too laughing their heads off at what an idiot of a friend they have. After getting themselves together, he then finds the tip and slips it into his pocket.
The little gathering went on and on till the wee hours in the morning. Of course, the rest is history..

"Cars are too high-tech for me. Even the keys don't like me. What more can I say?"
