It’s a blog, not bollocks

It’s not advisable to drive when you’re sleepy, as it’s comparable with drink and drive. Ok let’s put it this way, not only causin’ accident, there’re many possibility will happen.

I remember it was a Monday morning, wakin’ up at 4am and start my journey to KL at 4.30am. So along the way I was concentratin’ on the road using my left brain while keep my right brain sleepin’. Since it’s too early in the mornin’ (or midnight…), hence not many vehicle on the road all the way was fine.

Roughly 5am, approachin’ the Sg. Besi tollgate. As usual I slow down the car and drive towards the SmartTag lane. Since I’ve been using SmartTag for the past 6 months, I know 35 kph is juz nice to pass the toll (not too slow and not too fast). So as usual, I reduced speed to 35 kph, headin’ towards the toll gradually.

Surprisingly, that day the bar was up. Ermm…it makes no different for me right? So I juz drove on. 5 meter away from the sensor, awaitin’ for the "deet deet" sound, but I can’t hear any. Another meter closer, no sign of detectin’ the smart tag. One more second and I’m right in front of the bar, yet the SmartTag gadget still haven’t gimme the sound "deet deet" and finally, I passed the bar.

Maybe I’m still dream that moment, but somethin’ woke me up. Yes the alarm of the tollgate went off.

Gosh~~!! What’s happenin’???

Oops, it seems like I was tryin’ to skip the toll. It was then I look at the dashboard. WHERE IS MY SMARTTAG??? Hmmm…it’s sittin’ on the arm rest peacefully. Dang! I quickly rush down with the SmartTag on my hand, ran back to the tollgate and wavin’ my SmartTag at the sensor with my right hand. Now at last I hear the sound "deet deet", but I guess it’s too late. I looked at the display, instead of showin’ the amount charged and the balance, I saw "Hubungi Plaza Tol" (contact toll plaza). Maybe the staff in the plaza already heard the alarm, he already runnin’ towards me. I approached him and quickly, really embarrassing…

Me : Sorry ya bang, lupa letak SmartTag kat dashboard

PLUS staff : Oh, tak apa…(Pressin’ some key on the computer) Dah okay!

Me : Terima kasih ya…

PLUS staff : Sama…Awal pagi ni, tidur sambil memandu ke?
