Ni pagi tadi punya gambar. Dah kata, macam Narnia kali tiga. I was supposed to play badminton with Kak Farad today tapi terpaksa dibatalkan kerana rasa macam sangat bahaya untuk keluar rumah, as in naik bas etc and pergi campus. Bahaya. Licin jalan.
Nak dijadikan cerita. Malam tadi kitorang semua pergi rumah Abang Jafni and Kak Su, one of the graduate student yang dah berkeluarga untuk sambut birthday Kak Su. Since kitorang ramai, so kitorang planned nak buat dua trip.
The first trip; Ras, Ib, Fuzah, Hajar, Kak Rara and me. So kat belakang duduk empat orang. Yes, kitorang punya kereta, kereta MPV. :P haha. kidding Naaaahhhh, kereta Honda biasa. Dah biasa cramped ramai2. Hajar drive malam tadi. I was still not that confident and comfortable to drive when it's snowing, so....
And then, looking at how bad the road's condition was, we decided to have at least one more person to accompany Hajar instead of having her drives alone to the North. So, I volunteered. Buckled up and we headed to the North to pick up the rest.
It was weekend so police car were everywhere since the local people here selalu minum minuman keras and berparti masa weekend. Plus, it was snowing and the bulldozer also were busy cleaning up the main road.
20-30 km/h (kut measurement dia. Can't remember. haha) memang slow lah bawak, below the minimum speed sebab it was really slippery and considering the steering wheel was not in a good condition sebab dah pernah accident before this and kalau drive dia punya steering memang senget sikit dari biasa.
And passed through Memorial Union and ada macam bukit sikit tapi kitorang berada di arah yang menuruni bukit so Hajar drove a bit faster than before and we were busy chit-chatting. Suddenly, kitorang ter'skidding' and luckily there was no car near us.
Our car skidded from one side to another for a few times before the right side of the bumper bumped with the divider, and we were off from the main road. Terasa bumpy yang kuat for a few times sebab termasuk dalam shallow longkang and the front part of our car berjaya keluar but not tayar belakang. Longkang tu pulak dah penuh dengan snow and air. Hajar tried to step on the pedal but our car did not move an inch.
And masa ni pulak dahh tetiba phone was nowhere to be found, baru je pegang tadi tapi entah mana perginya. I looked at Hajar and Hajar looked at me, blank. But there was still a smile on both of our face. Saya try keluar dari kereta kononnya nak tolak lah, yes I thought of tolak-ing the kereta sorang-sorang (perasan kuat, I was). But then baru sedar kereta termasuk dalam longkang.
Tengah try nak figure out on what to do, tetiba ada sorang lelaki, a student from ISU I bet datang, just having a shirt on without winter coat or even scarf. Pergh hebat pulak mamat ni, tak sejuk ke apa. HAHA. The first question that he asked was "Did any of you got hurt? Are you guys okay?"
Alhamdulillah kitorang okay though terkejut sikit lah. And dia kata macam it's impossible to tolak kereta considering dia sengsorang je. and then he said, "the good thing is you guys are in a good mood." hahah. Yeah, surprisingly kitorang still senyum. Opposite of the accident, adalah Maple Willow Larch, an apartment that most of the students stay. So, dengar lah suara-suara menjerit2 try cakap dengan kitorang (cehh, macam kitorang dengar pulak) haha.
Tetiba datang empat orang lelaki, literally running towards us sambil jerit2 "We saw the whole thing that happened just now from upstairs. Are you guys okay?" tapi sambil2 tu diorang gelak2 lah. Berusaha diorang, semangat cakap nak tolong tolak kereta kitorang. Serba salah gila sebab kalau diorang tolak and Hajar tekan pedal minyak, for sure some of the snow akan macam kena kat diorang kan, plus air kat longkang tu lagi. Sejuk kot. Tapi berusaha jugak. Tapi satu tayar je berjaya keluar, my side. So the other tyre dalam longkang and they have no other choice but masuk dalam longkang. Tapi last2 sorang je tolak dari belakang and yang lain tolak dari kiri and kanan. sebab yang sorang tu je pakai boot. Alhamdulillah berjaya keluar and they kept shouting "Keep going, keep going" and "We are going to push you until the car park over there".
Alhamdulillah kereta still boleh jalan walaupun masa first2 tu ada bau hangit sikit. Ingatkan diorang akan ikut sampai parking lot tapi diorang stop half way and they all headed back to Maple. Tak sempat nak tangkap gambar jejaka-jejaka baik hati tu. Cakap thank you pun dari jauh, itupun entah dengar ke tak suara ku ini. HAHAH. So, kitorang terlewat setengah jam dari biasa untuk jemput yang lain.
So, after that Hajar drove slower than before. More focused than before. Dah sampai Hajar nak buat U-turn and again kereta stucked, tak boleh nak undur sebab salji tebal sangat. So again saya yang perasan kuat ni keluar dari passenger seat and tolak dari depan. Allah, tak tertolak. Saya yang jatuh. (K malu kat situ, nasib baik takde orang nampak). Masa ni still takde sape tahu sebab tak sempat nak call. Okaylah, on the way back to rumah Abang Jafni, kereta still unstable sebab jalan licin.
Makan2, cerita2, and then it passed twelve and kitorang decided untuk main snow kejap before balik.
See, tebal kan? Ada snowball fight, ya Allah beku rasa okay. Buat snowman lah apa lah. and then nak balik. Same thing happened, takleh nak undur. So beramai2 lah kami menolak Honda tabah tu. Susah jugak nak gerak pergi main road, lebih dari lima kali tolak, undur, ke depan, undur balik, tolak lagi. Masa ni baru sedar plate number depan yang ada registration kereta dah hilang. Last2 terpaksa jugak bagitahu semua yang kitorang accident tadi. So macam decided untuk pi tempat kejadian and carik plate number. Nak dekat pukul 1.30 pagi masa tu. Sejuk gila and unfortunately it was no where to be found. Macam impossible untuk jumpa and banyak possibilities yang possible untuk tahu kat mana nombor plate tu berada.
Lastly, kitorang terpaksa menghentikan misi pencarian and head back home, sampai dalam pukul 2 lebih pagi. And like I said before, it was a long night indeed and that night was when I had a good deep sleep after so long.
Accident especially during snowstorm, it is expected and no one should be blame sebab semua orang possible untuk jadi mangsa. So what we can do is, doa supaya kita semua selamat.
And the most important thing was, me and Hajar are okay and kereta masih okay, insyaAllah. Motif cerita kat blog?
I found the guys yang tolong kitorang tu sangat2 baik sebab sudi tolong despite the cold weather. I might not know your names or even if we bumped into each other at campus, I might not recognized each and everyone of your faces but do know, Hajar and I, we are really thankful for the help and the positive comments that you guys gave to make us feel a little bit better.
Thank you. and again. Thank you.
p/s: ikutkan, kalau ada website yang semua student ISU ada dalam tu, Hajar nak post nota berterima kasih kat situ supaya diorang tahu. HAHA, but this one's good enough kan?
