We also stopped by some stores at the roadside to look at some souvenirs to bring back. The nemo fish keychain we gave Muhsin came from this exact store. We hope he likes it. See all the plush toys in the video... but no toys from One Piece that Kak Cah was looking for...Arrived right at Zohor, GPS got us there easily. Che Ida cooked lunch (Ayam masak asam pedas) and it was good. Wish them well ~ and thanks for taking the day off for us. We didn't see their kids (in school).
On the way back from Kulai, the car broke down! It lost all power, which I thought was the fuel pump gone bad. PLUS (thank you guys) stopped by within 5 minutes and towed the car out of the highway (dangerous) to the nearest exit.
While sitting and thinking on what to do by the curb, a random guy greeted us (he goes by Adik) and got us help. Apparently he knows a lot of shops around Johor and got tons of connections. We put our faith in Allah and go ahead with his plan. It got us to this Chinese owned Proton shop about 2 km away.
RM 700 and a new distributor brought back life to the Satria. Apparently these things can go bad easily (random life expectency on the unit) - and new was the only way to go to ensure another 100k KM to the car. Oh well, at least it happened to us and not El on his trip back to Perlis, or some other time when we were really far from home...We thank Allah for giving us help right away after having such inconvenience. With Aishah being pregnant I wasn't sure how long she'd last in the heat (3 pm)... Help was literally given to us without much wait, over and over... and when I thought Malaysia has been lacking good Samaritans - I was wrong. ONE Malaysia might actually be a real thing, and a good thing for all of us.
