The Great (Mis)Adventure

I wish i looked like that when it happened but no. My hair was a mess, my face was sweaty and oily and i was wearing a flip-flop. And my car definitely is not a BMW...

So last weekend, a friend of mine and her little family came over from Kuching for a short holiday. My friend, Anne and I then took them to Melaka. The journey down to Melaka was smooth and uneventful. We went sight-seeing, window shop in the malls and Jonker Street and stayed a night there.

The next day, we went to the zoo. It was a scorching hot day and everywhere was crowded. Thankfully we found a parking as soon as we arrived, had our lunch before going to the zoo. We then depart to KL. Just a few kilometers after Tol Ayer Keroh, my dear old-poor car overheated. We stop at the emergency lane and let it cool for a while. My friend's husband, John, got into action.Thank God we have a guy in the car. I cannot imagine what will happen if all girls were in the car. We wouldn't know what to do. Thank God we have a bottle of water in the car too.

After a few minutes, came Polis Bantuan PLUS Ronda from nowhere. One personnel got down and asked us what's wrong. After checking that we did not need serious help, he got back in their ride but stayed behind us. After a while, we continued our journey. But only after a few kilometers, the car overheated again.We got into Simpang Alor Gajah and parked our car. Konon mau bagi sejuk. Nasib baik ada tandas, bergelen2 air kami tuang.

Semua benda John check. Sekali tengok minyak hitam hampir kering. Salah saya juga la lupa mau check minyak hitam before jalan jauh..sebab tinggal 1000km lagi mau hantar pegi servis, jadi saya assume tiada apa2 la. Mana la saya tau dia hampir kering macam tu. Setengah jam jugala kami stranded di parking tu. Nasib baik tidak jauh dari sana ada petrol station. Jadi kami pergilah beli minyak hitam sana. Stranded lagi lebih setengah jam mau bagi enjin sejuk.

Bila agak2 sudah okay, kami teruskan perjalanan. Berfikiran positif la konon all is well. Sekali tengok sama jugak. Stranded lagi depan tol Alor Gajah. Kali ni kami betul2 buntu tidak tau sudah apa mau buat. Worse come to worse, mau panggil tow service, hantar di bengkel dan tinggalkan. Kebetulan masa tu, ada kawan2 yang pergi visiting di Melaka. Called them and asked for help. Sementara tunggu diorang datang tu, datang la Polis Bantuan PLUS Ronda yang awal tadi.

"Aik...Rosak lagi? Kitorang dah pusing2 Tangkak, Ayer Keroh kemudian datang balik sini..Ada lagi kat sini?"

I did not get his name. Dia check punya check, rupa2nya belting rosak. Patutla overheated. Bergelen2 air ka minyak hitam kami tuang pun tiada kesan kalau macam tu. John yang lelaki pun tidak tau. Saya yang perempuan ni lagilah. hehe.

"Masalah kecik je ni. You dah kira nasib baik. Tadi ronda ada 6-7 enjin/radiator rosak teruk. Pecah semua etc. Nasib baik yang ni masalah kecik. Lain kali kalau ada masalah, boleh call nombor kat belakang tiket tol tu, mintak bantuan PLUS ronda."

Thank you PLUS Ronda. You are the best!

Dia bagi nombor telefon mekanik. Tidak lama lepas saya call, mekanik tu datang. Dia bawa kami pergi bengkel dalam 3-4 kilometer dari tempat kejadian. Tukar belting. Lepas tu, syukur kami dapat sampai di KL dengan selamat.

Nasib baik ada Polis Bantuan PLUS Ronda tu. Nasib baik ada John. Nasib baik ada bengkel bukak hari sabtu cuti umum. Nasib baik kami bertolak awal dari Melaka. Nasib baik si kecik Joel tidak banyak meragam. Thank God nothing really bad happen.

Selama ni kalau berjalan jauh tidak pernah jadi macam ni. Oh well, there is always a first time for everything.

1. Check minyak hitam sebelum jalan jauh
2. Kalau kereta rosak di highway, call PLUS Ronda. Free of charge.

Lesson learnt.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus. Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit. Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat. Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard. First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!" Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga. Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
