Lucky or Bad luck?

Just few days didn’t post up, there are few cases that are happening, but now is the end of it. I’m so glad to found that I have time to post up something. Let’s talk about each of them. Basically, it sound so lot of it, but is only 3 of it are big cases.

Is end of the term this week, everyone is rushing their assignments, wish to finish it up as soon as possible. But guess what, I’m finish now. At the time of 4.49am, writing this just because I just finish my bath, wanted to refresh myself, then after this I going to meet the dream maker. Just before today, I was doing my work half way, after dinner, I went to bath and wanted to start back my work, after that, I don’t have the feel of doing any of them, what to do. First thing in my mind is to have some coffee to wake me up, because I already plan to overnight with my assignments. Then I call up Felix to accompany me for that.

On my way to Felix’s house - In the middle of highway.

“DANG”, That’s what I heard after I bump into a raise which construction site used for lorry in and out purposes. I didn’t notice that. Yes, my wrong to have high speed on the highway. That’s why I didn’t notice that. Later, I though everything was ok, still moving, nothing seems happen. Then after a 100m away, engine automatic shut down, which causes me cannot accelerate, then I have to stop by at the road site and check what happen. After stopping my car, it seems nothing happen. Then I sit back to the driver sit, wanted to continue my journey to Felix house, but then the engine couldn’t start.

I was lucky to tell you, I just got enough money to miss call someone, can this be counted as good luck or bad luck. Then I miss call Felix, follow by my mom. Luckily there was this TNB guy who are working on the road site, they got the light for me to check up, they even help me to look see whether everything is alright. After awhile, here come my buddy Felix with his Honda civic car drive beside me, I believe those call-man dare not come over because they might think that Felix is a call-man. Ok, come back, then he can’t actually do much also except accompany me. That’s how good he is.

Wait till our friends arrived, Joshua and Fatt. Fatt has enough knowledge about car mechanism to check. After he checked, he said everything seems fine, except for the fuel pump that can’t be checked because is underneath of the car, and it is in the middle of the night.

Sooner or later, here comes my parent. They can’t do anything as well but to call the insurance company. While waiting for the tow truck to come, my dad seems nothing mad about it, except the face had already changed. So what we can do is wait.

After around 30minutes of waiting, here comes the tow truck, what a guy that cannot see our car while we are actually just in front of the tow truck. Then he call up my mom and asked whether where we are, what a shock, my mom just answer him that we are in front of him, then only he realize there is a Matrix in front of him.

Here we start the towing procedure, I found out that being a tow truck man needed actually a lot of skills on driving, because is not easy to handle two car while the other is hanging behind of you. Especially the narrow type of road that he has to overcome. And he did that. What a nice turning he has done.

Later tomorrow, my dad asked for help from some mechanic friend to check it out. So my dad’s car engine starts again with a minimum cost. Luckily is low cost repair, if not, I really felt regret for going out at that time.

It’s an accident which no body actually want it to happen, to summarize this, the point is whether I am lucky enough to have just enough credit on my cell phone to miss call someone or I am having a bad night for that accident?
