CNY Happenings
Went back to Malaysia on Sunday to visit my grandma & grandpa..
it was my dad first time driving in since his last car was killed 5 odd yrs ago..
so the end result was?? we were lost... on our way out of the Malaysia checkpoint, we went the wrong road which lead us to KL but we wanted to go the Skudai road.. so after making a round & round, mum decided to call our uncle to ask for directions.. they told us we can make a U-turn thru the road signal which shows woodland.
so we took the road & to our horror, we were heading straight to the malaysia checkpoint.. we told the police tt we went the wrong way & wanted to find a U-turn. she smiled @ us & didnt stamp the passport & told us there is a U-turn upfront.. we thank her & drove down to the woodland checkpoint, in hope of finding tt road sign..
There wasnt any!!!
and so now we are stuck in the middle of the road b/w the malaysia checkpoint & woodlands checkpoint without having our passport being stamped by the Malaysia police... we were flustered man... any idea who are we now? illegal immigrants lor..lol..
so we drove cautiously to the checkpoint & told the police what happen. she told us to wait for a while for a police escort.. & then few mins later, a police riding a bicycle told us to follow him & moments later we were inside their office... we were like illegal immigrants sitting there while waiting for them to check our passport.. My uncle over there told us tt they will be waiting for us @ the petrol station later.. dad said if it isnt tt we had not had our passport stamped, he would have turn ard & went home le..lol..
so the bicycle police took us for a short cut to the road to the malaysia checkpoint.. barriers were lifted for us.. gates were opened for us.. & we thought we dun have to went pass tt jam again.. oh no we were wrong.. we had to go thru tt circle circle bridge with more cars now..
as we approached the checkpoint, dad had to explain again to the police what had happened since we already had our passport stamped by them earlier..
wah.. what an eventful morining... turning round & round & greeting polices.lol...
oh ya, all tt with our bladder going to burst @ any time..
anway, i guess we will remember by heart which path to go from now..=)
