bad start good end.

I had the most jinx moment through out my entire 20 years of life yesterday! It was so jinx till it made me not to believe bad luck is as if like a chain, linking one after another =.='

I'm not being superstitious as we know everything happens for a reason, its whether you accept it or not. So yesterday, I knew the car's petrol tank needed to be refilled (it was almost empty), and with my own assumption, I know it can reaches the nearby petrol station even the meter was beyond the "E" sign. My planned was to go to Caltex and withdraw cash because I left just mere few bucks in the purse, not even enough to pay a quarter tank of petrol. The ATM machine was out of order when I've reached there, I've no money, so I thought, and try my luck to drive out here to another petrol station which is approximately 1KM away from here. So I drove off.

I met a junction half way and I felt that the car wasn't right, it started to jerk and jerk and it was like the engine its getting weaker and weaker. I managed to made a quick U-Turn, hoping that it can take me back to the petrol station. I've gotta make another U-turn, but the car totally went malfunctioned IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROSS JUNCTION! That moment, I was calm, I don't know why, but I was really calm. There were 4 cars behind, a lorry was exactly at the back of mine. Few cars overtook me and left, but the lorry driver and another colleague drove to the other site and helped me pushed the car to ease the traffic. I quickly ran to Caltex and asked for an empty bottle, but failed. Then the 2 guys who helped me were refilling the petrol tank as well, spared me an empty bottle, :"nah ah moi, ambik ni, isi dua ringgit dah cukup, cukup awak pandu sini isi minyak." I grabbed that bottle, paid 2bucks, walked over to the tank with face full of confusion :( I attempted to put the tip of the hose into the mouth of the bottle, I guessed the force of ejecting the petrol was so strong that the petrol spilt out from the bottle, my hand smells. The helpful guy came and gave a hand again.

I made my way to my car, filled in the petrol tank, start up the engine. That point of time, I really felt the importance of 2dollars. I spoke to myself, even if I drive to Caltex, what can I do? I've no money, ATM out of service.. Without any thoughts, I drove there, ATM was okay already =.=' So I withdrew the money, pump and left.

And ya, you know I'm struggling with company's account, and its still not settle yet. That morning really worsen my mood. Not only that, I left my access key in the office, means I can't go in to office. I realised after I left a very important contact number.
