I had a very tiring day today. I woke up slightly before nine to take my gf's 1960s VW to the workshop. The VW had a major oil leakage problem and all the petrol that we fill in was leaked and stunk up our entired porch where we parked the car. We decided to fill the car up anyway and dash to the workshop.
Unfortunenately, the battery died, so we had to jump start the car.
Fortunately, we have done it before.
Unfortunenately, we don't have the cables.
Fortunately, my neighbour have them
Unfortunenately, they are pretty useless. Somehow his cables were useless. We charged the VW for about 40mins and it didn't work
Fortunately, Lionel have a set and we went to BU to get it from him.
Fortunately, it worked so well the car started in like 30secs. So we were able to take the car to the workshop and stood there to see it fixed. (why we stood there and monitor it the whole time is another long long story) The guys did a good job fixing the petrol leakages and we were out in about 1 hour
Unfortunenately, the 1 week old battery died halfway while we were going up the slope (towards BU to make a u-turn on the overhead bridge to head back towards bangsar) and I was surprise that it couldn't be charged.
Fortunately, I had the jumper cables handy this time and quickly revive the car. This time I decided to drive for at least 30mins to charge back the battery.
Unfortunenately, it started to rain very heavily. Visibility is down to zero. I couldn't switch on the air-con or the wipre or the headlights. because once i do the car battery wouldn't hold the load and die.
Fortunately, I didn't have to for my 30min drive
Unfortunenately, on my way back the rain got even heavier. and I was racing down a slope with ZERO visibility. My wipers & headlights were not on. I had to switch one of them on. This time the car died at a junction of a housing area--> in the middle of it and cars was just minding their own business zooming past me.
Fortunately, I had my celphone with me. I issued an SOS to liping and she was on her way. What else could i do but to pray? and I had a good time of prayers in the car. Just when i felt a 'break' in my spirit. my gf arrived - she had umbrella, spare change all ready!
Unfortunenately, the rain was really heavy. I had to be in the car because she didn't know how to jump start it. whcih means she had to push. which really suck to have your gf push u in the heavy rain while you're driving. just when she was about to come out of her car into the rain....
FORTUNATELY, out of no where.. my knight in wet soaked clothes. boots and a safety helmet. A construction worker from a nearby site came and ask me sheepishly in malay if he could help! I almost felt shy that he asked. But yes. He gave the car a push, I managed to jump start the car and drove home.
Praise God for the help he sent me.

Honestly bro.. very tough day for you and Li Ping. But you know bro, the part that touched me the most was when Li Ping arrived with an umbrella and spare change + when she started pushing the car. Man, I'd fall in love with her all over again man! *sniff sniff*
And man, the construction worker, no doubt is God sent. Hope you had the opportunity to bless him too.
Btw.. I can just imagine this story on video and in black and white... wow... would tug the strings on many hearts.
I pray that the Lord will bless you today bro. See you around.
Hmm..maybe I'll film it one day.
I can so see it now. Posters bearing the words:
Based on a true story..
Lips,
