running on empty...

pic taken from from dromoz.com

last night i drove solo from kl to kerteh. wifey ada forum kat klcc. after dinner at lotus near klcc and sent her to traders hotel around 9pm, i pun tekan minyak baik punya to get to kerteh before man utd - aston villa game kick off pukul 1.30am.

from kl, minyak separuh tangki. so plan macam biasa laa nak isi minyak at gambang r&r. untuk hilangkan rasa mengantuk, selain menyanyi kuat2 ikut hot fm, drive pun laju laa sket dari biasa. faster speed equals more petrol consumption. just before gambang r&r, the fuel indicator was close to 'E'. the next petrol station would be after jabor exit. there's no way that the rio would make it, so refilling at gambang r&r is a must.


unfortunately the computer system at the gambang petrol station was being re-booted after a minor blackout just before i arrived there. nak cepat punya pasal, i continued and decided to take a 'de-tour' and got out at gambang exit instead. to my dismay, similar computer problem occured at the second petrol station i stopped! tido dalam keta laa aku malam nie...

nasib baik laa the rio made it to the next petrol station. and their computer was working!!! alhamdulillah...

i made it home just before man utd kicked off against villa, only to watch a boring 0-0 draw. hampeh. rugi petrol jer bawak laju2 atas highway tadi...

next time i've got to drive from kl with a full tank...
