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. ZAssssss So hari tu ada sorang minah ni baru 1st time iols nampak kat gym, tengah workout dengan bopren dia la gitu. Pakai sports bra je dengan really short shorts yang menampakkan ...

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE .  So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed.  Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket.  Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
