One of those bleak helpless moments

When I was in that moment earlier today, I felt helpless and insecure, not sure what I could do to get me out of the plight I was facing. But I must thank God, the mighty HIM, had led me safely to home, in one piece.

It was a rainy day and I had to turn on the headlight of my car when I was on the way to pick up my friend and go for a drink. We stopped at the first restaurant (Stone Age restaurant at Bukit Mertajam) and ordered two drinks (LOL) as none of us were hungry. We spent a few hours chatting there, trying to catch up with each other's life, like we are some long lost friend,but in fact, we hand't just met for 3 weeks.
As it was still quite early, we decided to go to another shop for some dessert. You may wonder why there are so many things to be discussed between us, the two guy friends, and what had been said during these few hours. We talked a lot and I am not sure now what we had talked. And really, it is not important of what we talked had anything to do with this post.

SO, I shall proceed the story...

Then, after buying some hair dye ( really it is not important what we bought too) and daily products at Guardian (not important too), we walked to the my car, taking out the car remote control to unlock the doors.
"Tok" One sound. Hmmmm...It is a locking sound. I turned to my friend, jokingly saying how careless I was to leave my car unlocked.
When I reached for the door handle, the car was still locked. I tried the controller again, and nothing happened to the locks as they sat stubbornly still in the sinking position ( when eject/unlocked, they will be in higher position, get what i mean?). So I thought may be the controller was running out of battery and hence used the car keys to unlock the door.
As we got into the car and tried to start the engine, the car engine ignition sound halted. It was then that I realized that I did not turn off the headlights since I stopped at the first restaurant.

I must say that I am thankful to my friend and feel lucky to have him when we were in trouble, though, I also feel bad to drag him into the problem created by my own carelessness/negligence.

We called a few friends who stay at the nearby area to ask if they have jumper cable and battery to recharge my disabled car. But the 2 friends I asked do not have the cable and they further assist me by giving me the car repairman number.

My friend (who was there with me) called home and his dad sent us his friend, a car repairman, to our rescue. We waited for an approximately half an hour before the repairman came. We did not just stand still and do nothing in this half hour. Instead we tried to seek for the security guard's help but none could be found in the area (we were already at AutoCity that time).

Half an hour gone, and finally the repairman came. It was fortunate that the repairman was friendly and patient with me. He checked, recharged my battery and said that it is not necessary to replace the car battery as it is still functional. He charged us RM15 for the service. If you think this is a king's ransom or unreasonable price for the service provided, well, begger can't be the chooser, I would be willing to pay even a bit more just to get home safely.

Then, I sent my friend home and am glad that I have reached home safely....Though I felt jittery that the car might fail on me again during the whole journey going home.

Of course, this is another not so important dessert picture.

PS: I dont feel it is an unlucky day for me, as I learned something through the problem. 

My 22nd Birthday

Time flies!
I am 22 yo already.
Many things had happened throughout the year and hopefully I have learned something from the past experiences.

Ok. This post is to record (since i have short memory) how I had celebrated my birthday. There's also a record for the previous year one.

Hmmm...Like usual (my past birthdays) there was never any big celebration, like big birthday party where many friends would come to eat, drink and exchange presents and wishes. But I am grateful that my birthday was never neglected by my friends and family. Even my Mom phoned to greet me the next day of my birthday this year! (she said she was tending to her sick sister during my birthday). What a surprise. My mom never did that..LOL...

OK...

So on the morning of my birthday, I allowed myself to wallow in the luxury of sleeping late and not setting alarm clock to wake me up. Since, it was exam period and every minute was so precious, it is true to say that I had the opportunity to enjoy luxuriously (time is invaluable,LOL) for the whole day!

I woke up at 10.15 that morning. As no one had dated me out to celebrate with me, I can do whatever I want to. I understand that everyone was busy with their own stuff (either work or exam), so I wasn't upset of having to celebrate my day on my own. I switched on my laptop lazily to check on the screening time of Madagascar 3, quickly bathed (as the first Madagascar showing time was 1115 and I didnt want to wait for a later one) and gussied up before taking a taxi to Mid Valley to catch the movie.

To be honest, I wasnt entirely "dont mind at all" for celebrating my own birthday. Deep down my heart, I still hope that someone (my friends) would spend time with me. But, like I said, they need to do their revision and so I shouldn't bother them. 

I heard many praises about the movie. But, I wasn't able to pay full attention to it. I was busy checking my Facebook birthday wishing and instagram....=.= ...I think the movie is just so-so (though there were a few scenes that managed to keep the tears rolling in my eyes. fyi, I cried on its predecessor).

After the movie, I had my lunch alone in Sushi Zanmai. Trying to capture pictures of myself (selca) but nothing turned out looking good, so nah no pictures here and I decided not to post the light lonesome lunch I had.

After that I rushed back to my hostel to catch an afternoon nap before going out dinner with my friends.

==========================================================
There was another long story for the dinner at Korean Restaurant (Uncle Jang) and late night karaoke session with friends, which I will not continue to write as I afraid I could not capture the essence of the precise moments of that time.

What's happening #1 & #2

#1 (You may skip this story if you had read it on my Facebook)

A few weeks ago when I was at mid valley, me

Nearing the maxis iPhone 5 booth to have hands-on the device. 
Me: *sliding my fingers across the screen to test the machine, trying to be knowledgeable and serious.

Maxis girl promoter: *nearing me* (Hi, iPhone 5.)

Me: *leaving,turning my back to her* (I am not iPhone 5. )

Me:*turning my head to see her reaction*

Girl promoter:* jaw hanging in the air with her eye-popping incredulous look

My friend: *turning away, pretending not knowing me.


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

#2

While I was driving my sister to her tuition class,

Me: "Hey, you didnt close your door properly?"
Sis: " Issit? But I remember I closed it securely just now."
Me: "Look, the car door signal is red."
Sis: "Really?"
Me: " You can stand up and see" (She was sitting at the back passenger seat, wth, there's no this you-must-sit-with-the-driver-if-the-front-passenger-seat-is-not-filled rule in my family)
Sis: *Left the seat and peeked at the signal board* 
Me:" Told ya, now you must hold the door so that the door wont fly open!" (trying to scare her)

*Continued the journey without stopping to close the un-closed door.
After I sent my sis to her class and when I came to a traffic light later, I saw the red signal was still on....

It was ME that didnt close the door properly...=.=
