An Incident On The East Coast Highway

What fun is family time without some kinds of untoward incidents.  I was sleeping in the car.  I was too tired after driving from Kuala Kangsar to Tanjung Malim (it was just a short stretch compared to the distance Papa drove!).  I was awaken by a loud noise and realized that the car was slowing down.  I asked Papa what's going on and he wasn't sure.  So he pulled up to the side and we went out to check.  It was about 1.00am.


 We discovered the front tyre exploded.  Luckily the car didn't swerve .


So we had to unload the trunk to get the spare tyre out.

After unloading the trunk, I needed to go to the ladies.  Luckily there's a petrol station about 200 meters behind us.  So I collected the girls and we walked towards the station.  There's no car around.  Just us.  I saw a Highway Patrol car there but there's no one inside. So we proceeded to the toilet.  After that we entered the convenience store and bought some buns.  There's only a cashier and a customer inside.  After paying, we got out and the Patrol car wasn't around anymore.  


We walked slowly and as usual I took some pictures.  Oh yeah! I saw the patrol car parked behind our car.


Papa was instructing Tareeq to change the tyre and chit chatting with the patrolman.  There's a lorry parked about a hundred meters from us.  Normally the drivers stop to rest or sleep along the highway before continuing their journey.


Asha with her routine anywhere we stopped.


I asked them to sit together for a photoshoot.  It's not always we experience this kind of situation.  So, this is a must.


Tareeq did a good job.  After about 30 minutes, everything was done.  The patrolman waited until we're done loading the luggage and continued our journey.  We're actually about 1 hour from home.  Luckily the spare tyre was in good condition.


This can be a poster to a horror movie. Hahaha....
It's either the sisters shouldn't trust the patrolman
or
the patrolman shouldn't trust these seemingly innocent children.
The plot can be twisting and the end surprising.


Despite the incident, everybody 's mood was still okay.  It's one in a million experience and hopefully you will remember this in years to come.  Love you!
