It took me a while to post this (well .. 22 days later to be exact), but i couldn't help it but to share with you .. this unusually nerve-breaking experience ..... as the driver of the video-camera man of a Wedding!!!
The date is March 30, 2008.
The start-point is Gurney, and the destination is Paya Terubong.
The happy couple is Alex and AiWah
So, you might ask .. what's so nerve-breaking about been a driver of the video-man? Well .. it would be fine .... other than .... half of his body is out of my rear-seat window ... filming away .... for most of the journey from Gurney to Paya Terubong! Two of his hands are on his camera ... (yes, he has only two hands .... so ... he's NOT holding anything to my car!!!!)
And been in Penang, two things which make it even more "fear-factor": potholes & motorcyclists.
Trying to avoid potholes are like trying to avoid sand getting into your shoes on a beach. I have to slow down to a mere 10kmph when i'm near to a pothole (if i can't avoid it). definitely don't want to throw the video-man out of my car.. yet. ;)
As for the motorcylists, they are not too obvious that there's a person poking out of my car's rear-seat window! ... there are a couple of occasions where some motorcyclists were just inches away from the video-man!!
When we reached the destination for the wedding gate-crashing .... i'm just happy .. and most relieved that the video-man is still in one-piece! (not only his video-camera in one-piece, but most importantly .. he himself!) ... hey .. i wouldn't want to be charged with man-slaughter. :P
Well .. luckily .. i've a front passenger with me (Bea from Germany) to share the thrill .. and the nervous moment with me. She was saying .. she has never experience anything like this before! ... well .. not in Germany anyway ..... but this is Penang! :)
Nevertheless, the wedding was a beautiful one!
Alex and Ai Wah ... congratulations! .. and wishing you both eternal love and a blissful union! :)
p/s: althought there are some interesting stories about the best-man as well ... but i've been barred from revealing those juicy stories. ;)
