Xiang Gong on business trip to US 8-13 Feb 2010
There was a last minute call from Xiang Gong’s company to fly him on business trip to US on the week before CNY 8-13 Feb 2010. Due to peak season of CNY festival, most of the airlines have limited seat availability especially in return flight. We have no choice to change our plan to drive back to Klang at midnight just only when the flight arrive to Singapore as there sure heavy jam if we depart in daytime. Damn pity to Xiang Gong as he needs to drive straight away after took about 18 hours flight and have no much time for him to adapt with local time and left side driving (he got jet lag for about 10 hours and right side driving in US). We depart at 2.30am and reached Klang at 7.50am. At night, NG’s family has CNY reunion dinner at restaurant.
Xiang Gong left his car key with me when he is away for business trip. I was asked to drive his car to work. One night, I drove to Parc Oasis to collect our mails from the new owner. The car suddenly out of battery cannot start at all! I was panic because it’s happened in late night at 11.30pm. I requested a young chap to check on my car and he can’t help much caused is battery out functioning and he has no cable jumper to help me to start car engine. Anyway, he gives me some contact number for the battery replacement (last resort). Xiang Gong experienced this problem also and he told me to OFF car engine and restart after 10-20mins. It’s work after I wait for 15mins!
