Was speeding downhill to Baling today and noticed vehicles on the opposite lane were behaving too well.. must be road block! Normally the more considerate ones will flash a warning but none did this time. Must be election aftermath, price increases wearing everyone down.
I slowed down jus in time before coming around a bend and running smack into a police road block. I braced myself. Know the routine all too familiar. Woman driver in car.. they ready to hv some fun. Body language changes.. they start spraying. Large Malay man in uniform stops me. (I dont know what other women say...but i honestly dont get turned on by a uniform. It marks more subordination than power ..kowtows..and that is not so desirable ...well... for me because subordination bring other control issues...)
Anyway.. "Where from?" his eyes goes below my face. I hv already quickly checked and adjusted the level of my neckline earlier from the angle he was standing . He can look at me, into my car.. but he was not getting any peek show.
As for his obvious question.. i gv an obvious answer "Kroh". He din't quite like my terse reply. I dint smile too. It challenged his authority. So he kept me waiting.. "Where are u goin?" London to see the queen! Duh! "Baling", i said. He was still not happy. "Do i know your husband?" Ok, that one caught me by surprise! I recovered fast. "I dont think so!" And he grinned. Ah! I tried my best to return it. I drove off.. feeling i needed to brush my teeth again.
It was not over. On the way back. They ganged up. Road was clear front and back and i was the only car to stop. 5 of them this time.. feeling more daring.. no witnesses.. they cheered from the road side.. what the hell.. God knows! But hey, they the men in uniform.. jus do them the favour. I waved, flashed a weak grin and drove off! There u hv it... government funded sexual harassment.
p/s they hv new toys! http://niamah.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-new-toys.html
