Helipad

We were driving past the road leading to the house I'm staying in. Honestly I didn't know how we ended up there, my humble national car must have felt pretty out of place sometimes sandwiched between a Mercedes and a Harrier and Swifts other whatnots in the parking lot. I hope my Viva doesn't have a car inferiority complex, because I couldn't care less about cars.

Along the road, any empty vast space left are being developed into residential units. There's this double-storey resort homes, with its own private pool. Then there's this luxurious condominium, its starting selling price is RM1 million. It gets one wondering what comes with a unit with a shared roof and floor at that price tag.  Deep burned curiosity alone is not enough to overcome the intimidation to actually enter the sales office and take a tour around the show unit.

An evening drive on that road if it's not congested makes you feel like you are on a holiday. Rain trees lined each side of the road. A sign board by the roadside across the road opposite the luxury condo caught our attention. It says: Helipad. Behind it an expansive area which we initially thought was a football field.

Wow. Just wow. Seriously, normal people need heli to move around these days? That's obnoxious but hey, if our Prime Minister gets to ride in one, whose to say no to other equally busy and mobile individual?

Fudhail joked that we could land our own heli there some time, albeit a battery-powered one. Yeah sure.

I'm not hating. Kalau la kita ditakdirkan sekaya itu, no telling what we might do. It could be worse. Maybe instead of a heli, it would be a heli fashioned to look like a unicorn. See. Told you it could be worse.
