On my way with my 2 friends after many days struggling, battling, competing to be the best among the rest, it's time to come home, suddenly my car is not acting like it used to. The sad part is it occurs on the happiest road trip ever from every other road trip in the entire world.
The temperature hitting the H point. Actually way above that point. So, I stop the car on the side of the road. Open the hood and smoke comes out from the engine bay like a vaping/vape up event going on in there.
I visually inspect the engine, nothing is fallen off. No strange holes at the engine block or any other parts.
I waited several minutes and put a towel on the radiator cap to open it because its really hot. It was empty, of course. If not, it will not overheated like mad.
Lucky I have 3 bottles of water at the back. I fill the radiator and try to start the car. But it wont start. It crank but not starting. Usually this is because the head gasket is blown. The engine is full of water and that is why i cant start it. The other way to know if your gasket is blown is open your radiator cap, fill water in the radiator and start your car. Water should comes out splashing like mad from the radiator.
So Im screwed. On the side of the road. Know no one there accept my 2 friends. Just like you're in the middle of a desert. No food. No water. No nothing.
I tell my family and my girlfriend about this. My father and mother said that they will come to pick me and my friends. That's a relief. But I can't just leave this car here. Someone will steal it probably.
Out of nowhere, a police officer stop behind us. He ask us why and we explain everything. He give us the number for Peronda Lebuhraya and he left. You can see the numbers here: http://www.llm.gov.my/nombor_panggil_kecemasan.aspx. We contact the number, explain again, give the kilometer thing (not sure what is it but it the number that we always see on the side of the road) and they said in couple of minutes they will come to help us tow my car to the nearest Plaza Tol. And it is free.
We wait for my father and mother to come. Family is the most important to me. Never take them for granted.
I safely arrived home. Really tried. Sometimes I feel regret and sometimes I dont. But most of the time I feel like a burden. Maybe someday I return the favor from all the good things I received in life.
