It was a tiring day @ work and i juz parked the car @ the multistorey carpark. I took my time to stroll down the slopes of the carpark after i had parked it on the 3 floor. I stopped at the basement at the end of the slope to let a car pass. I was quite puzzled as he was driving it at abt 20km/h-30km/h when he was already nearing the kerb.
My thoughts :-
- "C'mon! surely the driver knows when to stop"
- "What the hell is he doing?"
- "Is he sleeping?"
- "Is he conscious?"
Next thing i saw, gave me the shock of my Sunday Morning! He rammed straight to the kerb and tried to drive over it as though it was a normal road hump! Probably he thought he's car is an All Purpose/Multi Terrain Vehicle...haha! I was stunned and stood there till the car stopped fully. I rushed towards the driver's seat and knock the door. The driver opened the door. He looked so pale as though he saw a ghost. I asked him a series of questions:-
Me: "hello! are you ok?"
driver: "ahh....im not ok?"
Me: "are sick or in pain?"
driver: "no no no"
Me: "are taking any medication?"
driver: "no no no"
FYI- I was a Combat Medic Specialist during NS..ehem ehem
Me: "do you have a driving lisence?"
driver: (sounded annoyed) "ya! ya! of coz i have"
Me:" so what is wrong with you?"
driver:" my car is stuck"
(In my heart, i was going like DUUUHHhhhhhhh!!! Obviously!!!)
Now here comes best REQUEST of the day...
Driver: "Can help carry my car?"
WHAT THE HELL??? of coz i said no...haha! i'm not going near yr car if u're driving it..plus how the hell am i suppose to carry yr car? Do i look like Arnold Schwarzenneger? maybe to him i guess...haha! 5 mins pass by and a crowd started to gather around the car...normal la! its a Sunday morning..aunties and uncles going to the market near my Blk..
To shorten the whole drama..together with the help and teamwork of all the passerbys'..we managed to get the car UNstuck by moving it forward by pushing the car up from behind.. but of coz with a better qualified driver seating in the driver seat.. the actual driver was too scared to even drive his own car! imagine that!
I juz glad that no one was hurt during the whole incident and that i am proud that no matter from which background or race...although i was the only MALAY in that crowd helping while the rest of the MALAYS watch and commentate us..or should i say giving instructions..haha! anyways...we come together to help someone in need..and it was a success...yesSSaa!! wOooohOoo!
