Night at the Roadside

I have just endured one of the most troublesome yet best night of my life.

This can be complicating, but I'll start from the evening...

5pm. I got into my car for a personal training session, focusing on upsloping traffic jam training. Lol. I went to the slope at Taman Segar which my uncle resides nearby. However, I didn't pay a visit to his family. XD Clutch, brake, release clutch partially, release brake, press the oil simultaneously and release the clutch totally. That was basically what the practice all about. During the midway of the driving session, the car suddenly stopped. The engine couldn't be start and the brake was much stiffer than usuasl. As a newbie, I couldn't identify any problem at all. And since the engine was managed to be started after a minute, hence I was ignorant of it.

The night came right after that. I was waken up by Kah Fai at 11 this morning as he phoned me for a movie at 9.40 pm. I reached there on time, driving a car which I was ignorant of its problems. However I had to buy my mum two packets of nescafe which were much cheaper than usual I think which delayed me for 10 minutes. BUT, they didn't manage to purchase any tickets due to full house. Therefore we bought for the next session which was 11.55 pm. Aww... What's more? We had to send YY's brother back to home as he have to study on the next day.

Right after that we went to Bandar Mahkota to "long gai". We were driving extremely slow, specifically Wai Kit was driving extremely slow which caused me who was tailgating him had to follow his pace. Then... Damn! The car lost its power again and was powered off. Zzz... All of us were amateur drivers, so we had a lot of speculations. We added some motor oil to my car clumsily and it did managed to be started. So we thought that was the problem lol.

After spending so lot of time at there, we drove to Jusco again as the time of showing for the movie "Night at the Museum 2" was around the clock. Kind of suited with the "adventures" today lol. BUT while I was around at CP3, SHIT! The car lost its power again, just like last time. And this time in the middle of the road! Luckily, two burgermen helped me to pushed the car to the road side and helped me to check for the problems. Wai Kit and his passengers came after that and the two "abang burger" helped me to jumpstart my car. After some warmup I left my car there and went for the movie by Wai Kit's car.

Yay! The movie was spectacular. The finest quality of hilariousness. Cool! That luckily cured my worriedness by a little. You shouldn't miss it! Kah-Mun-Rah!!! Here's the trailer:



After the movie, we went back to take a look of my car. Luckily it can be started. Being feared of the car would shutted down again, I drove by purely using gear 1. But after I drove for awhile, it lost its power again! It was so near to my home, and it wouldn't allow me to reach it. Lol. So, we jumpstarted my car again (Wai Kit was escorting me back to home) and drove for the final 200 meters back to my home. Phew~ Finally. I went back home and found it hard to sleep due to so many incidents tonight. Lol.

I took it for a check at the workshop today and the mechanic told me that the problem was due to faulty alternator.

===============================================

You might see that the incident was kind of terrible, but I don't.

Firstly, the car wasn't dead at the evening while I was driving alone. I had got friends to rely on during the problems.

Secondly, there were two guards who gave some assistance during the incident at Bandar Mahkota and two "abang"s who helped during the incident at CP.

Thirdly, I learnt quite a lot on how to handle vehicle problems.

Last but not least, my friends are just so reliable! Thanks guys! Thanks very much! The best friends are always the friends who are willing to help you when you are in difficulties! Lol.

I feel kind of lucky to have this kind of incident as there were so much thing to learn in a less troublesome way. XD

Exclusives:

While at Jusco, Wei Kian bought some breads as he was so hungry at that time. He saw a buy 3 free 1 promotion hence he bought 3 (so in total 4).

YY: Wah Wei Kian, why you bought so much of bread?
Me: He wanted to treat us mah...
YY: Oi Wei Kian, we good friends ma, no need buy bread for us so good la.
WK: (Laughs) Buy 3 got free 1 ma, den I ma buy 4 loh...

Me: This is what I called an idiot consumer. You just wanted to eat 1 bread and you bought 4 just because of the promotion.
Wai Kit: A nice speech man!

All: *Laughs*
