This morning was an unlucky streak of event. When I woke up I quickly went to work because:
1. I need to refill my Touch & Go Card
2. Need to attend technical support exam
And the worst thing could happen is that I forgot my wallet. Oh god, can you just imagine if you go into the Touch & Go toll booth and realized your wallet isn't there? Luckily I stashed in a RM 10 in a secret compartment, so I put the car in reverse and cut into the standard cash paying lane. Yes people are honking me, and if you see one red Satria trying to cut his way from the Touch & Go queue, chances are that's me in action.
After avoiding the bad luck, my mom called me up, as she was heading to Penang as well and she took my wallet with her. While waiting for her in front of the bus station, I realized my engine emitted smoke. At first I thought it was nothing. Then my mom approached from my back and she handed me my wallet.
Unfortunately, it all started to go downhill. My car temperature suddenly went up and uncontrolled metal clanking is heard throughout the car. I tried to stop, but in a two-lane morning traffic, you don't actually get to stop in the middle of the road. And there's this stupid jam idiots who moved slowly.
I managed to stop by an emergency lane and immediately stopped the car engine. I opened up the engine cover. White smoke puffed up as if something melted inside. I can see the radiator was heating badly. Luckily my mom was at the back and she has extra cloth padding to help me open up the radiator cover. And another help was on the way was the Highway Patrol comes to help.
The nice officer managed to refill the radiator but it seems that it keeps sipping the water and the car's heat keep evaporating the water. Checked and again and found another dreaded problem: fan not working. However, I managed to get to car to the working place.
Now the day is still young, wonder the next thing that will befallen me...
