Never had I felt such a repulse nowadays while reading the daily news.
What is happening to the country now ? I felt so fed up (not to mentioned embarrased) with our political situation that I wished (sometimes) that I am staying elsewhere.
Just because someone said there is gonna be a rally somewhere, the entire town is subjected to road blocks here and there. Today, I heard on the radio that there is gonna be road blocks as well. Wonder if there is another planned rally today ....
What the ??????
I always thought that democracy is by the people, for the people.
It looks like our pockets are set to have bigger holes now .... And no one seems to be able to have any say at all. And I personally think that the recent debate has yet to provide any help to the citizens of the country.

Car Broke Down !
Just imagine on jam-packed Sunday afternoon, cars are basically bumper-to-bumper scenario, your car's cluth suddenly failed you and you are stuck, right in the middle of the 3 lanes !
Scary ?
Yup, that was what happened to me last Sunday ! The clutch suddenly gave some scary sound, and poops, it went dead. I was unable to engage into any gear at all, thus had to leave the car's hazard lights on immediately. I was thankful that no car came and honk me, or worse, bang me from behind as it was very jam that day.
Having 4 ladies in the car makes it even more difficult to move the car away to the emergency lane though I know that should be the thing to do while awaiting for two truck to arrive. Unless I was not pregnant, I could probably do that. But since I am pregnant, I decided to sit in the car (in the middle lane) while awaiting for some kind hearted stranger to assists us.
God was kind to us, He gave us 2 angels to help us pushed the car to the emergency lane. God bless these to Malay samaritans. Finally, we are out of danger. So, we waited patiently for the truck to come Meanwhile, made some changes to the plan whereby asked my mum and sis to take a cab to Mid Valley and later we (me and syg) will come and pick them up at Mid Valley.
So, now everything went according to plan B. Truck came and mum took a cab, me followed back to service centre, and there, upon seeing the familiar Kembara parked by the road side, and my syg waiting for me, you got to imagine the amount of relief that I felt at that time. Syg came immediately from church meeting (which I escaped coz need to bring Mum to Mid Valley to get new pinafore for my youngest sis). I was so thankful to God for keeping all of us safe from any harm.
Talked to Mr Teoh about the incident and was rather sad that should the worse case scenario happen (have to change the entire clutch pad), the cost will be around RM500. And that was excluding the towing service, which amounted to RM150. Well, things happened and nothing much can be done about it. After all, there is a need to spend this money - is for our safety after all.
Then , I made a prayer - I actually did. I asked God to have mercy on us, coz money is certainly very tight for us now. Whats more with the baby coming and the purchase of the house. God does listen to our prayers. A thorough check on the car revealed that only the clutch cable and some minor repairs need to be done. So, all in all, I spent RM185 for it.
Thank you God - for listening to our prayer, for keeping us safe from harm.
I love you, Jesus !

Free At Last
I have been preparing for the PTK (Penilaian Tahap Kompetensi) exam for the past few weeks. Exam was on 30 April (that was last Wed) and phewww... What a relief now that it is over.
The day started off well. I left the house rather early since me and my colleagues have made a pack - to travel in office's car, driven by Sarif. So, I had to be there by 7.30am. No problem at all. Arrived punctually and we set off.
At Sungai Emas, that was where the drama begans. 2 lines were pack with cars, no movement at all on the road and all of us were wondering what had happen in front there. We saw ambulance going there, and a police on a motor cycle heading there as well. We were stationed at the very same spot for like 1/2 hour. And the clock shows that it is 8.00am. Our exam due to start in another 1 hour. And we were like only 5km from office! Imagine that!
Sarif then did the stunt of the day - he drove on the opposite lane, bypassing numerous cars and lorries and he did that several times until we went passed the stalled lorry that causes the havoc of the day. At one time, we were almost knock by the incoming car. We were all like"Oh my god. oh no ... "
Finally, we reached HQ. What normally take us 30-40 minutes of journey, it was 90 minutes that day - just because of a stalled lorry. Now I began to wonder where did the ambulance go ?
Ok, finally we sat for the exam. The minute I saw the questions, I was like - "Gosh, this is difficult." I tried my very best and all I hope now is I will pass with Aras 3 (at least)... I am really hoping for the best, I dun wanna re-sit the paper and go through the entire nightmare again.
Please God, please have mercy on me ....
