The 2B story
Well, on my previous post I guess it might have made the 2B story seem pretty simple and straight forward. Let me clarify this, my mum is totally not in favour of me getting Class 2B.
Back when I first needed sureties to sign my contract, my mum found 2 sureties for me and told me :"You cannot go and learn motorcycle." At that time, you can't really do anything but to agree. Over time, I just figured I didn't want to learn how to ride a motorcycle anyway.
Recently though, the thought came back again. Here's an excerpt of a conversation I had with my mum a couple of months ago.
****
Me: My encik ask me to jio him for Class 2B leh..
Mum: Oh... what is Class 2B?
Me: Motorcycle
Mum: WHAT!!! Your encik needs to be slapped!!
Me: No lah, I also think if one has Class 3, should have Class 2 B. Better mah.
Mum: ....... Ok. But cannot buy bike.
Me: No guarantee.
Mum show one darn pissed face, I ran away.
****
So that was an obvious objection right there.
At the time of posting my previous post, this other conversation had taken place
****
I was looking at travel times and routes from my workplace to SIM (cos applying for a course there).
Me: If I get into the course, travelling is going to kill me, Will take me about one and a half hour at least but at least better than my colleague, he takes about 2 hours.
Mum: Can't you request to leave early?
Me: Yes but there is no bus out until 1700, so I'm stuck anyway. No money to buy car, that's why need to take 2B.
This is where I think my mum kinda relented OR she forgot what 2B is .
Mum: If I strike lottery, I'll buy you a car.
Me: Yeah but till then, I think take 2B better, or else always late and hungry.
****
So yeah, she is not in agreement... more like she likely forgot what 2B is.. or she just decided she didn't have a better suggestion.

I think it's more of the latter.
Hmm... but it's strange to 'allow' you to take lessons and get 2B, but cannot buy bike?? Then what's the pt. of getting the 2B in the first place? lol
