Not the way I'd imagine myself spending the weekend...

Still reeling over the departure of my friend Bobomans (from the office), my schoolmate/good friend KJ and I decided that paying a visit to good ol' Uncle Lim up the hill would be a great idea to spend a Saturday evening. The initial plan was to grab a bite, make our way up the hill, make a quick buck and dash down the hill in time for the big game between Man Utd and Arsenal. Here's what went wrong with the night...
  1. we went to a noodle shop in SS2 where the food was decent but the price tag was not... We basically had noodles and half a crispy chicken that went up to RM60.50 in total. Mind you... We only had green tea for drinks. To top it off... The bird looks malnourished!!!
  2. At the hill... good ol' uncle robbed us blind of a combined total of RM700. A 16 round progression on the same number rendered no hits at all!!! Talk about bad luck!!!
  3. Going down the hill, KJ informs me that his fuel indicator was flashing... WTF??? We literally had to 'glide' down the hill at speeds that even a jogging grandmother would out paced us... =.="'
  4. When we finally got down the hill... The gas station we were so looking forward to go to was on the opposite side of the highway!!! Arrgh!!! WTF man!!! We parked at the Gombak R&R area and made a dash across the highway...
  5. After buying RM2 worth of petrol filled in a 1.5L mineral water bottle we made another "death-defying" run across the highway to get to the car only to find that ... We DIDN'T have a funnel to fill the petrol!!! We tried using a plastic spoon to keep the petrol chamber open but as the petrol went in... So did part of the plastic spoon. Finally, we found a thin metal rod that could be used to keep the petrol chamber open while the tank if filled.
After all that trouble we went through, we did eventually reached my house to catch the Man Utd v Arsenal. Missed the opening 10 minutes of the game or so... But it was a happy ending... Man Utd beat Arsenal, 2 - 1. Yay!!! Finally... something good happened.

We'll be back Uncle Lim... Just you wait!!!
