stranded...!

for the first time this happenned..

out of the many trips, be it planned or uplanned..

padahal kreta baru service tiem tu seh..

ala, bak kater pepatah, klu nak jadi, jadi la dia..

ish..

tapi can u all imagine,

being stranded on malaysia highway at 2-ish am, yes tengah malam mind you!

with a baby in tow..

tuhan jer yang tau perasaan aku..

it started out wen hub decided to pump more petrol despite having enuff to make it till the end of the journey..

pump at Petronas..

left, and the car was smoothly cruising wen suddenly the car lost power..

it was as if hub slowed down..

so i asked, " asal yang? "

i was flabbergasted wen i realised tt he himself tak tau asal..

YA ALLAH!!!

for those who ever travel on the highway would understand how i felt..

luck for us, it did not happen to the stretch wer u have no lights at all..

if so, i would cry sak!!

takut hantu!

takut oppurtunist!

i was in the tots of corrupted police..

unhelpful peeps...

all those scary tots lingered as hub went out of the car to check..

i prayed hard, real hard in my heart to protect us all...

my prayer was answered in a jiffy!!

alhamdullilah..

a tow truck happened to past by the opposite direction and crossed over to assist.

so did a "patrol ranger" car gitu..

both of them was reali our saviour la!!

i was reali put at ease..

they alerted many others who came to help..

the car was eventually towed to a workshop which was already closed actually but they were there to receive us..much to our delight.!

then they brought us to a super2 budget hotel..OMG!

i have never stayed in a hotel lower than 5 star sak, so i was reali taken aback by the sight..

but not too bad la, got 2 king sized bed but we shared la..duh!

dun expect baby cot la please so Ryan sandwiched btw us..

Ryan was asleep throughout the whole ordeal..!!

as we woke up at 8am, we didnt bathed!! muahahahaha!!

i couldnt bring myself to la.. i rather be a copet!!

but we did freshen ryan up and changed his clothes..

went to the workshop, bla..bla..bla..

still cannot fix..

i gave up hoping to still make it to sunway in teh end..

so we decided to tow the car back to SG..

alhamdullilah, smooth transaction arranged by the kind peeps there..

the tow truck dropped us at Tiang 20 after the m'sia custom, before SG custom..

and another tow truck from SG took over from there..

send it to Sin Ming for repair / checks / etc..

not due to be ready till next week though as its CNY holidays!!

arghh!

i told hub..

it was not too bad to lose the 600 odds overnight.

given the fact that we received so much help..

it kind of change my mindset of the Msia peeps..

i guess i have been reading to much emails and news..

but even so, i guess it is a case of 1 apple makes the whole basket bad senario..

reali...i mean all of them was extremely nice..

never being "mengira" or wateva la..

they went all out to help seh..

i am truly indebted..

thanks to them, we made it safely home..

Thanks to Allah for answering my prayers..

Thanks to Ryan for being such a great baby..! he was NEVER cranky!

but like i keep saying to hub, in life must have no regrets..

we didnt regret jumping on the wagon..

wateva happens, it will always be a lesson in life..

perhaps, it was meant to be that way..

we were never meant to go there agaknye..

so till teh next trip..!
