The Test

From Ampang I then drove up to Genting to send Nadira. After hugged n kissed her goodbye I made a move. Unfortunately my car couldn’t start. I tried a few times but still didn’t work. I didn’t know what to do. I sat thinking in the car for any clue while looked around with the jungle surrounding me. I then saw one parents there with their daughter n approached them.

The husband tried to start the car but he seems not to know what to do either. We suspected it was because of the battery. I know there’s a car workshop at the junction of the school entrance. He n his wife then drove there to get the mechanic's help. The mechanic later then came to replace the new battery.

I bid farewell to Nadira n told her not to worry about me n Insyaalah I will be back home safely. On the way out I saw Nadira's teacher n stopped by to say hello to him. I winded down the window n had a few words with him. After goodbye, believe it or not I couldn’t wind up back the window. Get Nabila to helped me but still we couldn’t made the window goes up.

I guessed maybe it was something to do with the computerised settings that had gone haywire after the battery was out. We kept trying which at the same time I was driving n didn’t want to stop anywhere as it was getting darker. So I just kept driving with the annoying sound of loud bubbly air until we reached home.

As soon as I parked the car, I off n on the engine n tried again n again to roll down the window. I tried a few times but failed. I then decided to cross my finger n just leave the car with open window n will check it again tomorrow. Somehow for the last time I tried again n then managed to wind up the window. Oh.. Thank God. I quickly carried Hakeem out as he was sleeping n locked the car. What a big relieved.

When think about this, I was so frustrated as this was not suppose to happened as I just sent car for serviced a week ago n I bought the car for not even 6 months yet. Maybe I was just being so unlucky today. However I feel so grateful that it happened in front of my daughter’s boarding. I couldn’t imagine if my car were to break down in the middle of nowhere. So scary..

Though I had to pay RM343 for the new battery (lucky I had enough cash), I again thank to God that I n kids are safely home now. Today was such a long n hectic day for me. I reached home at 8.00pm. I planned to drop by at my sis-inlaw’s house as my mother inlaw came but I missed them as they were already back home to Malacca.

This is maybe just the beginning or part of situations that I have to learn to face. Especially when I am with kids n without my hubby around. Surprisingly I didn’t panic at all just now. I was so calm n not even jumped for my hubby or even my brothers (which I normally do) for help. I didn’t want my hubby to get worried as he is far away from me.
