February 11 - Towing & Fainting

Hectic month I would say, February 11. I have experienced two incidents, one - first time in my life, two - 4th time.


23 Feb 2011:
The first one, my car broke down right before entering Kesas highway (near Suria Kinrara). He's driving and suddenly the clutch didn't work. Luckily he managed to park the car on the left side of the road. But it's still dangerous as the highway was like 500m away. Thus, all the cars moved rather fast even on the slow lane. Since the situation happened during Maghrib time, the dark kinda make things worst. Few times bikes and cars nearly hit my Kelisa or other car on the right side as they moved so fast. About 10 mins later, a parol came and asked what happened. Fortunately he have a towing company phone no. About half and hour later (the towing truck kinda lost to find his way to us), me and him, for the first time in our live, hopped on same the truck my Kelisa been towing towards the nearest workshop from his house. As the workshop was closed, we parked the car in front of the shop. I drove his car for a week before I could drive my Kelisa back. Oh ya, by the way, the very next day, when he checked the car at the workshop, the car was suddenly okay. Only need to tighten up the clucth and it's as good as new. But for checking purposes, he asked me to drive his car first while his driving the Kelisa to work to test. When he felt that everything's fine with the Kelisa, after a week i.e. on 3rd March 2011, we swapped the our cars back. Fuh, what an experience after five months involved with an accident with the Kelisa. But luckily this time, I'm not alone when the car broke down. Alhamdulillah, everything's work out fine :) And I pray hard that it would be my last experience on road incident especially when I drive alone... Ameen.

26 Feb 2011:
After 7 years of my last fainting episodes, I did it again on Saturday at Mines. After a sauna session, I felt dizzy but I made a big mistake by rushing when I stand up to be sitted near the shower room. Once I got sitted and sat, I felt very dizzy. The next thing I know, I heard a lot of noise and felt a steel being inserted in my mouth. When I managed to open my eyes, the first thing that came up in my mind was "Oppss, I did it again. Fainting after 7 years of no-fainting period". There're quite no of people tried to make me feel better. One put a spoon in my mouth (hence the steel) to avoid me from biting my tongue, one put a cold towel on top of my head, one made a gentle massage while others prepare me a plain water with straw and some sugar and mentos. Thanks for all your kind assistance, guys :). I took about one hour to recover my dizziness and another hour to manage to sit down and try to stand up. The dizziness was gone, but after two hours I still feel bloated. And suddenly "uwekkk", and I felt much better after that and ready to drive back home alone. I thought I forgot how to throw up since I haven't vomit once after ten years and completely have no idea to do it. Haha. But Alhamdulillah, after I went to a clinic, the doctor said my blood was normal and I need to drink plenty of plain water and he supplied me with multivitamin to stimulate my nerve system. InsyaAllah my health would be much better from now on :)

That't my interesting yet scaring moments happened in Feb 2011. I wonder what kind of first time experience I will counter before the end of this year. But I hope all the new experience that I will face soon will be exciting, pleasant, happy and great. InsyaAllah..Ameen :)
