This time, the trip back home was rather smooth. But, the trip back to sg wasnt that good. we experienced a flat tyre.

dad n mum wanna to send sis, bro-in-law n i to gelah patah terminal to take bus back to sg. bro-in-law drove first. it was pouring. mum heard some noise n asked me, n i told her i heard that too. so sis asked bro-in-law, but he didnt feel anything diff on his sterling, he thought the noise was caused by the uneven road. so we continued the journey. But mum felt uncomfortable n brought up the issue again. dad suggested to stop by the roadside to check, n ya, tyre burst, it had gone flat. The place we were at was quite an isolated roadside except few Malays houses. we hav spare tyre but no tools, dad put the tools on the old car which mum drives everyday.

i wanna to borrow from those Malays, but dad had his own thinking. he was targeting at those cars that drove by. n ya, he stopped a car which seemed familiar to him, n the model is the same as our car. dad was right, the man is from our kampung, he was sending two foreign workers to a church at gelang patah. He was kind enuff to stop his car at the roadside (most ppl dare not to do so coz worried of robbery), he lent us his kits. but, the screw of our spare tyre was rusted, we couldnt take it out from the car. hence, dad borrowed the man's spare tyre n he was again kind to lend to us. ya we were really lucky, he is driving Wira n we too, hence using same type of tyre.

in fact, we didnt know how to change tyre, so the helpful man n one of his friends (the foreign worker) helped us to change the tyre. i noe nothing abt these n cant help at all, the only thing tt i can do is to hold umbrella for them. glad that the rains werent that heavy at that time. The man n his friend are really very nice, they did us a BIG favour! i wouldnt know what to do if not them.

also felt glad that tyre went flat on the journey to gelang patah, not the journey from gelang patah back to our kampung. coz there will be only dad n mum on the car for the journey back to kampung, it is very dangerous for two middle-aged. juz called mum, n they reached home safe too. thats great.

This weekend at home, could see dad n mum r very happy, coz our house rebuilding is almost done, can move in in two weeks time. the house is very big after rebuilding, n dad is proud of that. many neighbours pass by n say good words to dad, make him feel so happy, hahaha! but then, dad still jealous while mum chatting wif some aunties, it is so obvious that dad is unhappy... aih... childish daddy... only mum can stand dad's childish act ;p maybe match or not match, depend very much on one's tolerance level ba!
