Assalamualaikum wbt
Last friday (13/4/2012) was my last day in school. I purposely take 2 weeks early just to prepare myself for labour. Some might say that I should not take two weeks advance from the 90 days of cuti bersalin. Well, I think. I've made the right decision by starting my cuti early. For some of my colleagues, the school (SEGAR) is quite nearby with their home. In my case, I have to drive 30 minutes all the way from Gombak - Rawang every working days by using the same Gombak - Templer - Rawang highway. Since I'm teaching in the afternoon session, the journey back home is a bit challenging. Usually, the highway is quite dark (no lampu jalan) and the road is winding too! Teaching in the afternoon session means that you will go back after 6.45 pm. So by that time, memang dah senja . Bila dah nak magrib selalunya jalan pun sangat gelap!! Bukan nak minta perkara yang tak diingini terjadi, tapi bila dah sarat banyak perkara perlu dititikberatkan terutama dari aspek keselamatan. What happened on last Friday was not related to the highway that I've been using but more to the car that I used on that day : hubby's car (-___-)

It so happened that I brought my hubby's spare key. (please take note : SPARE KEY).
Everything went well until... it was around 6.45 pm, masa keberangkatan pulang ke rumah.
Dengan hati yang berbunga-bunga , perkara pertama yg dilakukan sebelum nak masuk ke kereta adalah dengan menekan button unlock di kunci kereta and....... NOTHING HAPPENED (no double blinks signal appeared from the signal light). Dalam hati dah terdetik "kenapa la remote kunci ni tak boleh pakai pulak ......................." Hurmmm, dengan cerdiknya, diri ini terus menggunakan kunci untuk membuka pintu kereta.
Dalam xsampai seminit, alarm kereta pon berbunyi. Nak kata cuak tu tak la sgt tp bila xjumpa reset button nak de-activate alarm terus rasa gundah gulana. Dengan hari yang dah makin gelap, bilangan cikgu yang tinggal pun berkurangan. Aduhai!! Ramai yang bagitahu bila alarm tak boleh de-activate properly, mmg tak boleh nak drive sbb ada risiko kereta akan terus terhenti dan terkunci serta-merta selepas 1km!! I dared not to take the risk, especially nak ikut highway Rawang- Templer - Gombak tu kan! kalau jadi apa-apa siapa nak berhenti tolong?? :(

Many teachers have tried to find the reset button but failed to do so! Pelik sebab tersorok dekat mana pon tak jumpa juga. Until it was around 730pm, Cikgu Nasir offered to change the battery for the remote of the car key. He went to one of the kedai jam in pekan Rawang and got the battery changed. Thank you cikgu Nasir!! Jasamu dikenang :)
Lepas solat maghrib di pejabat sekolah, hati yg berdebar pun jadi lebih tenang. On that time, there were only the guards, Pn Jannah (PK Petang), Cikgu Nasir , the stray dogs and I left in the school. Bila bateri kunci dah ditukar, baru la remote kunci boleh digunakan semula dan alarm kereta pun stop 'menyanyi'...
Pada waktu itu dah masuk pukul 8 malam, memang redha dan tetap bersyukur dengan apa yang berlaku. Mujurla tidak pula rasa nak bersalin ke apa waktu kejadiaan itu berlaku! *phew*
Tapi bila mengenang nak balik ikut highway Templer-Gombak rasa macam risau sbb jalan confirm gelap :( Nevertheless, the journey back was smooth and I reached home safely around 8.30 pm. Alhamdulillah, syukur.
From what happened, I realized that my knowledge about cars is still lacking in many aspects. I need to be more aware of how car works and functions. I may be among hundreds of female drivers out there who are good in driving but have lack of knowledge about the vehicles. This has got to change! From now on, I will never take things for granted especially when it is related to car that I'm daily using. Bukan apa, xpernah terfikir masalah bateri remote kereta pon akan jadi masalah besar! Selama ini xpernah kalut nak tahu pasal reset button for alarm tp sekarang dah tau. hehee. Teringat pula pepatah,
sesal dulu pendapatan, sesal kemudian tiada gunanya...hmmm

Hurmmm..nasiblah ada orang kat sekolah tu dayah.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, my knowledge on cars is something I always take for granted. Nantidah jadi mcm you, baru nak amek tau kan.
yer tasha, kalau tak de org kat sekolah i pon xtau nak buat camne :( huhuh
Deletetapi tula, mende2 nak jadi ni bukan la something yg kita bole predict. kalau bab tayar flat/ kena paku dah lain..ape lagi bila masuk bab2 enjin! *scary*
maybkan, for ladap kat sekolah dia kena bg input on the 101 tutorial on how to survive during emergency. almaklumlah, cikgu kan keluar ke sana sini dengan kereta sendiri.at least, kalau ade practical knowledge on how to survive tak la panick sgt kan.....hurmmmmm
