Tonight we had it all planned. Leo and I were going out for a nice, peaceful and casual dinner. Had a great time eating. We chatted a whole lot mostly, asking each other about their day and wondering how was work. As our table was facing this huge flat screen TV mounted on the restaurant's wall, most of the time we were watching this program called "Riot Chase" or something like that. So while we ate, we watched numerous videos of people starting riots all over the world. Some of it were pretty violent and so not right for dinner time. I do not want to see a woman in a female jail get beaten up by 50 other women when I'm eating. Would you call that appetizing?
So anyway, after the extremely peaceful dinner, we made our way back. Just around 500 more meters to Leo's house, his car broke down. We tried to figure what happened as the car suddenly over heated and we couldn't start it. So I thought, "Hey! It's so near your place. Let's push!". So we started pushing with high spirits and with me controlling the wheel. After half of our journey, we collapsed. Two people with no constant exercise pushing a Honda 500 meters. Now it seemed pretty ridiculous. So in the end, a black car stopped and a malay guy got out of the car and helped us push. His wife and little daughter in the car were giving us encouragement. We did it! All 500 meters of it. I think it was a workout in disguise or maybe just someone, somewhere hinting that we have to work out more. It seems that the family that helped us were staying very near by and were on the way home when they saw us in trouble.
**For now, note to self: remember to buy gift basket for family who helped us push car!!
Thank you helpful citizens of Malaysia. Now looking back, an extremely ray of hope for the possibility of 1Malaysia!
