The journey starts around 7.30 a.m.
While I was packing my things, I’ve notice that I left my purse in the office…
Immediately I text Nurul asks her a favor to drop to office first before heading to KL…
After I managed to take my purse, together with Nurul I have another add hock task… to close all the standby CPU in the lecturers room… since all of us will be away for more than a week, it just a waste to let the machine on…
Once the task it completed, we (read: me, Nurul and Kauthar) start our journey to KL... Tentatively it will take us about 2 hours to reach the heart of KL…
According to plan, 3 of us will be headed to Jalan TAR and Masjid
India since we want to do some shopping spree…
However, apart from our pretty much a good plan, the Almighty have some other better plan for us…
At kilometer 125 just 500 meter ahead from Temerloh lay by, Nurul ask me if I did hear some sound that coming from the car…
So we decide to make a stop there in order for us to do some checking to the car… after we’re sure that everything is alright, we plan to continue our journey…
Much to our dismay, the car could not start… we thought that maybe it just a while but after waiting for 5 minutes, still the condition doesn’t show any progress…
Then decide to check all the engine part and then we discover that the radiator cap is disappear…
Right from that moment, the story of long journey to MBA Iftar begins…
Since my housemate was on the way too from Kuantan, we did ask them for help… it’s a good thing that we supposed to convoy from my house but due certain technical reason, they depart a bit later from us…
When we’re left at the highway, one big and black four wheel drive approach us…
At first we have a negative perception towards that man since he suddenly slow down his vehicle and immediately we’re anxious just like a normal TV drama…
Alhamdullilah, it’s turn out to be a nice and good man… he help us in diagnosis what the problem is until we couldn’t start the car… with his advice, we ask our friend to drop buy at Temerloh to find a new radiator cap…
Plus minus half hour, they finally reach at the kilometer 125 together with the precious cap… I silently pray that the problem could be settled…
Once more, we’re been tested by Him that the cap doesn’t fit into the radiator hose…
Since we have to buy another cap, Mar and Lut called their friends that working with Temerloh KBS to buy a double new cap…
This time, we’re hoping that the double new cap would fit nicely with the radiator hose…
When the friend of Mar and Lut came, once again we try the double new cap and alhamdullilah it match…
Since we need to make sure that all the equipment and engine is cool, we occupied our time by “lepaking” at the roadside of the highway…
When there is time to fill water into the hose and closely it with double new cap, we try to start the car engine…
It turns out that the car is rejecting the water that we’re trying to fill… with this condition it shows that the car problem is not a minor one…
At this point of time, Kak Mai starts to ask help from her friend…
The friend of her friend came… after run few testing, it has been verified that the problem is a huge one…
In order to make the car start again, it needs to be towed into nearest workshop…
It took nearly 4 hours before the towing petrol came…
We occupied our time by ding sort of things while waiting at the roadside…
Around 2.30 p.m the towing petrol came and we took the car to nearest workshop…
We’re going to KL with Jun car since she’s come all the way from Karak when she knows that we’re stranded…
Journey to KL continue right after we’re refreshing ourselves at Jun’s house…
Reach KL just about 5 minutes before breaking fast time…
Due another technical problem, we’re then need to find another place for our iftar since nobody were free to reconfirm back the reservation made in Rebung Restaurant…
I break my fast in the car before we finally made decision to dine in Ole-Ole
Bali…
Arrived Sunway Pyramid around 8.30 p.m due to heavy traffic plus with the rainy days…
Even though the journey that suppose to be not too long become extremely long plus the tiredness of waiting and fasting, but it’s worth it…
Happy to be able to spend time with few of my classmates… we had so much fun…
To all that present for the iftar session yesterday, thanks a lot… =)
