and why i wasn't in school today...

The car broke down today. In the middle of the Federal Highway.
So there we were, sitting in the car helplessly.

And we were NOT causing a jam.the jam was in FRONT of us.
All we were creating was a diffraction effect (:

And please, if u guys see cars that stop in the middle of the highway

1. stop HONKING!

2. stop STARING!

3. and HELP laaa!!

Okay.so maybe they weren’t honking at us, maybe they were honking at other cars and I’m just being perasan.
And maybe they were just looking, not staring.
And maybe they did want to help, but they were running late to work and their boss had threatened to fire them if they were late again.

At any rate, we waited in the car for half an hour, and the car just couldn’t start up even when we tried like over 15 times. Called the AAM guy & my dad.

Then who should come, but this policeman on his motorcycle. He asked what was wrong and stuff, then asked us to try to start the car again.
AND amazingly,
The car started up!
(the policeman probably thought that we were some dungus sitting in the middle of the highway and stopping the car for no reason.hahaha)

So anyway, he directed us to the side of the road.

To cut a long story short, the car is in the sevice centre now and is being checked for problems.

I really want to thank God for being with us through it all.
1. Thank you God for the jam, making traffic slow, so that we were in low danger of being hit by a car from behind.

2. Thank you God that the car broke down before the exit to the Glenmarie so that were could just drive the car to the service centre there after the car started up.

3. Thank you God that the car started up miraculously so that no tow truck whatsoever was needed to bring us to the service centre.

4. Thank you God that this motorcyclist guy actually came to offer help, and although we didn’t need help anymore then, it still lighted up my day to see someone smiling and being so kind when my mom was practically worried sick.

5. Thank you God that we’re all still safe and alive

6. And thank you God that I got to skip school and catch a few extra hours of sleep
teehee xD
