3rd week ever since I came back, I went up to Penang for a good old time memory and of course to find Julia as well. I've not been back there for 7 years, - WOW -, it has been really a long time and most of the spots are now change. I went to all the new shopping malls, went to the G Hotel around Gurney Drive but eventually we didn't get to go for dinner or supper at Gurney Drive due to can't find a PARKING LOT. Yeh, it is so busy till we just drive pass and look at people eating and enjoying the good old sea view.
It was a good time even though, I've to wait for Julia to come back half day work for 2 times in nearly a week holiday up at Penang. Most of the time, we spent outside and the petrol really costs her like nobody's business. We went to see Desmond and Wendy at the Queensbay area, can't remember what's the particular office area called. Anyway, some where near the area, only 10 mins drive away or less if the drives let you go through the roundabout easily.
After meeting up with them, we went back home. Wrong turning due to heavy rain and road side water splashed on the window screens, can't even look where we are going till the wiper (driver's side) suddenly stop moving. Julia and I were like, SHIT, what are we going to do and we just can't stop in the middle of the road. We just have to drive a little bit more till we found a road side that is safer to park.
I went down have a look at the wiper but just couldn't work and nothing was stuck. Just have to drive out no matter what happen. Yah, went to the wrong turning when I said earlier on. Just have to keep on going straight till I saw 2 police under the bridge just waiting for the heavy rain to clear. I asked Julia - parked in front of them and asked them to help or else we can't do much with just the wiper couldn't work and it's too dangerous to drive back in this kind of weather.
I went down, talked to one of the police with English and he can some how manage to understand me but I struggle to talk in Malay with him till Julia came down and explain to him more in Malay. He started to understand what am I referring to at last. He looked at it and tested the wiper, it was just loosen. He then asked Julia to open the bonet and she doesn't know how to do it since it was the mom's car - BMW. I even worst, I don't even drive these kind of car, obviously I have no idea how to open it. The polices were just plain laughing at us that drive this kind of luxurious car but don't know how to open the bonet.
Then we were asking him the way of going back home. He then said to us that U-turn from this traffic lights and go all the way straight is to Ayer Itam. In my mind I was thinking it is not an u-turn which we can use to turn but since he said that why not just do whatever he said. The other police was nice enough to tell us that on the way you can go to the workshop to repair the wiper. I even asked him is it safe to go back home without the wiper on, he said can if you dare to do it just have to drive slowly.
Suddenly, the rain just stopped and I said - Oh no, no need already as the rain already stopped, we can go home straight without the wiper. The police was nice enough to help us to use the wiper and remove the raindrops on the windscreen. Ooii.... never thought the police is sooooo nice in Penang. Maybe better than KL, maybe ok, not very sure because it did not happen to me in KL before. Then, we left to made an u-turn and we have to stop to due the traffic lights were red. Suddenly, I saw the blue red colours and I looked behind thought that the polices were escorting us back. I was so proud, mana tahu - perasan saja (means how do I know, mix emotion) that they were just going off to another way.
So, Julia found the way back and we were safely arrived at home. Saw the whole family having dinner but we were so hungry till I can faint easily but then have to explain to the mom about what had happen just now. Julia's brother and uncle helped to repair the wiper as it was just loosen. We went out with Julia's brother and his girlfriend to have supper. Haiiii..... finally can eat already.
