The Journey of Mr. Speed and Mr. Fun
Oct 19
Mr. Speed and Mr. Fun are neighbors. One day they decided to join in a driving expedition that takes them from Penang to Singapore in their own car. The rule of the expedition is very simple. All they need to do is to reach the destination using their own preferred route.
Like most participants, Mr. Speed choose to use the North South Expressway so that he can reach the destination at soonest possible. At the starting point, Mr. Speed was ready to speed away in his turbo-charged sport car. He carried no passenger so that the car is lighter, thus consume less petrol and make lesser stop at the petrol station. To reduce the traveling time further, he pre-packed all his meals in the car so that he can eat and drive at the same time. He was fully prepared and confident to be the first to complete the journey.
The moment the cars were flagged off, Mr. Speed stepped on the gas and accelerated so fast leaving the rest of the participants including Mr. Fun far behind. He doesn’t mind breaking the speed limit as long as he achieves his goal. As expected, Mr. Speed finally reached the destination in a record breaking time. He basked in his glorious achievement. Everyone congratulated him and he was famous for the day.
Unlike Mr. Speed, Mr. Fun decided to take his family along in his sedan car. He also started the journey using the North South Expressway. However, he exited the first toll to have that famous seafood in Bukit Tambun for lunch. After lunch, they stopped by at one of their relatives’ home.
As time goes by, Mr. Fun has lost sight of other participants but that didn’t concern him. Instead of picking up the speed, he detoured to nearby Pangkor Island for the sun and the seas. He was very happy seeing his family members had a lot of fun on the beach. Other than Pangkor Island, they also visited Cameron Highlands to enjoy some fresh air, shopped in Kuala Lumpur and visited some historical places in Malacca.
Other than having fun, Mr. Fun also stopped to help any motorist that needed help along the way including sending an accident victim to a nearby hospital in Malacca. In return, he made a lot of friends. However, he never gave up his goal. He still looked forward for the day he reaches his destination.
Two weeks after Mr. Speed arrival, Mr. Fun finally reached the destination. No one was there to welcome him. In fact, everyone including Mr. Speed has gone back to their normal lives in Penang. All that Mr. Fun has at the end of the journey were traces of sands in the car, bumper stickers from the interesting places they visited, bags of souvenirs, stunningly tanned skin and lots of laughter from his family members.
