It's not a historical event but really odd things happen to cars...thank God not mine...but cars of people that i know of. No no...they didn't transform, i know the transformers hype is still around Malaysia. 2 incidents to be precise...
Cars involved : Kia Picanto and Perodua Kembara
People involved : Peter and Pastor Nancy
Here's exactly what happened. We'll start with Peter. His car battery ran flat, what exactly happen i'm still not entirely sure. However, it seemed was that Peter's car battery was already old, and due for a change ..what contributed to it was he left the lights on ...for about 4 hours. So what does that gotta do with me? Nothing actually.
His remote wasn't working either which means he couldn't open the car door without triggering the alarm. So he phoned me, and i took him to 7-11 (a place which doesn't sell batteries for car remotes) and then he went to a camera shop instead to get his remote fixed...On the way back to church, he was saying that he didn't want to attend service, i told him that maybe God wanted him to go for service...that's why the car won't work. Guess what?? he sat through service...LOL...sorry peter!
2nd incident of the day. What happened with Peter's car was before church and i was still home that time. What happened to Pastor Nancy's car happened after church and i was back home that time too. LOL. Anyway, Pastor Nancy's car apperantly ran out of Petrol, Amelia thought i was on the way back so she called me, didn't know that i was already back home. So i took Pastor Nancy , Amelia and Andrea to the petrol station. Pastor Nancy bought the petrol and later when we tried to fill the car, realized that Perodua has a metal flap so i use a stick to push it while Pastor Nancy poured the petrol in. And that was about it....
Later that night drove back to Uni in almost total darkness. Really something i wouldn't want to try ever again. kinda scary to be frank, no street lights at all.

2 in 1 : yesterday and today
Yesterday
- Yesterday (8th July 2007) a series of event happened. Basically it's not something that would go down in the history books but well something that I took note of. The 1st thing was that it was a cell outreach and we went for a movie "TRANSFORMERS". Now, everybody has been talking about this show..and i've watched it before..and it's awesome. Well, the group consisted of 2 generations...the constant movie-goers generation and the haven't gone for movie in sometime generation. Basically means parents and children, only Uncle Jonathan amongst the parents goes to the cinema regularly. I even over-heard my Dad telling Uncle Peter Yeow (Ji Mi's dad) " I haven't been to the cinema in at least 10 years" and the reply my Dad got was "10? 15 sounds more like it." Well, they didn't really understand the show i guess, but glad they came along it was fun for them to come see what we are into and stuff like that.
Yesterday
-Yesterday was also the 1st time our church had our young adult service and i personally think it was great! Seeing our peers join in for the service, i think that this will be a great success. Pastor Ong turned up in Shirt and for the 1st time in a long while without a coat and tie. So the service to be relaxed was meant to be..the message certainly didn't lack any impact that's for sure.
Today
- Today will be the day i'll always remember as the day i came face to face with death in a form of a toll's bar. I've driven for a year plus now and in addition to that i've been driving on the elevated highway for the past 6 months going to work. So i'm really familiar with the roads there...what made it more ironic was that in the past few days i've been going to KLCC more frequently than i can think of. What happened was....i drove towards the smart-tag lane, already with my smart tag facing the wind-screen. I was going at walking pace to be exact.
The only situations are:
1. TAG SUCCESSFUL - The board shows how much your credit has left and the bar goes up you proceed with your journey. And normally your smart tag gadget "beeps" as a signal of successful tag
2. TAG UNSUCCESSFUL - You reach into the box and on the screen pops "Kad tidak Sah" and you either get help from the workers there or you have to reverse and head to the cash lane instead.
- What happened today was ...the gadget beeped and when i was about to accelerate off, the bar did not go up...i quickly jammed the brakes and i tell you. It was just a few cm away from shattering my wind-screen. Close call.
