Me and my two friends left to Ipoh by car from UKM and bout 15 mins later after we entered the highway, the car got overheated. We stopped the car by the road side and checked what was wrong. We saw that the radiator cap was open and all the water has splashed out. There was only one small water bottle in the car which was insufficient as the water was completely depleted. Not knowing what to do, we started calling up some friends. All this while, numerous lorries and cars passed, hooting and whistling at us because three girls by the road, what else would you expect?
Then suddenly a van (Atlas Copco Service Care) hooted at us and stopped nearby our car. We were relieved a little cause someone has stopped to help but still cautious. 3 Indian guys stepped out of the van and we panicked. Now, don't blame us for judging them just by looking at them cause half of my life, most of the time Indian guys either whistled or gave us some stupid remarks as they passed by. So yeah, it was part of a Indian girl's defense mechanism.
Anyhow, they came and asked what was wrong and checked the car. But they didn't have water too so they couldn't do much. One of the bros told us to drive to the nearest R&R so we can fill up the radiator. They even offered to follow us until we reached the R&R. However, after a short distance the car over heated again and we had to stop. My friend got super scared that if she drove further, the car would explode and one of the bros volunteered to drive the car. Again the red light went up in my brain, me being paranoid and all. So, I quickly sent the number plate of the van to one of my friends just in case you know, we get kidnapped or something. AND AGAIN WE HAD TO STOP COS THE CAR OVER HEATED AGAIN. We stopped again and by God's grace, a passing plusliner car stopped and helped us out. They gave us a gallon of water to fill up the tank and then we were good to go till the R&R.
The 3 bros again followed us until we safely reached the R&R and thoroughly checked the engine and what not and made sure everything was alright. Then they gave us a huge mineral water bottle just in case the car overheats again and two cloths so we don't burn our hands when we open the radiator cap. Then, they gave us their number and asked us to call them if the car stops again and also to send a message once we've reached Ipoh.
This was the time to say goodbye and me and my friends were wondering whether is there like a service charge or any amount of money that we should pay them. So we asked them and one of them said, "you can give us however much you want". So, my friend opened her bag to get money and the bro started laughing and said, "I was just joking la. There is no need to pay us. We were just helping another Indian out".
And then they drove away. I can't begin to express my gratitude to them. How many people are as willing as them to help a stranger out and that too for free? It completely slipped my mind to take a picture with them and I'm so angry for that. However, they left a huge impact on us and we couldn't stop talking about them throughout our journey back. Thank you so much and this has inspired us to help others too. We would definitely pay it forward
And after we left the R&R, we went to meet two of our juniors who also came so far just cause we called them. They even surveyed for mechanic shops around the area and again checked the engine before sending us off. THANK YOU!
So many good souls today who helped at a time where we were helpless. The three of us told each other that after this we also must help people out although not involving a car cause we're useless in that but yeah we'll try other things for sure.
I guess every bad thing has a positive side? #spreadkindness #sharethis

I went to MPH's Bookerville Carnival on 3rd April (the last day, oops) and bought few books and also got a whole bunch of amazing free gifts! I only bought 4 books that I really really needed (note that I need it and not WANT it lulz) because the books were only a little cheaper than the original price. About RM4.00 -RM5.00 lesser. Not a sale like the Big Bad Wolf sale where I always end up buying almost 10-15 books for RM 150 but I only managed to get 4 books here. BUT no regrets cause you can't really get these books at BBW sale. Okay enough yap yap. There are the books and free gifts that I got!
1. Fantastic Beasts and where to find them by JK Rowling
I may have screamed a little when I saw this book. The best part of this book is that it belongs to Harry Potter and it has scribbles and notes from Harry, Ron and Hermione! how cool is that!
2. Stars above by Marissa Meyer
This is the final addition of the Lunar Chronicles. It has short stories of prequels and sequels of the main series. I love this book as it made my heart laugh and cry. I don't own the entire collection, only have Cinder (first book) but when I saw this book, I just had to get it solely for how it made me feel. If you haven't read my review on this series, what are you even doing? Check it out here.
3. Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas
This is the second book of the the Throne of Glass series which I love. The series is still on-going. Will put up a review on it as soon as the book is complete. Anyhow, I grabbed this book for three reasons. One, I don't have it. Two, this is the UK version and not the US one. The US one is black which is the first book that I own whereas the UK one is much prettier in white! THIRD,

| THE BOOK IS SIGNED BY SARAH J MAAS! GAAHH |

4. Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
I collect the shadowhunter series and I have waited for almost a year for this book SO I DEFINITELY HAD TO GET THIS! That's all. I'm reading it currently and a review will be up soon!
AND NOW, THE FREE GIFTSS!

| I always wanted a book related tote bag. So, thanks! |
 |
| This little fella would look hella fine on my book shelf. But it will most probably take me 5 months to assemble this but I'll try I promise. | | |
 |
| 2 complimentary tickets to go to the Kl Tower Mini Zoo. Each worth Rm32.00. It's a petting zoo and I'm excited to do some petting! |
And that was my haul plus the free gifts that I got. Thank you, MPH! Although I didn't get as many books as I usually would cause I'm broke af, I still had loads of fun looking at the amazing books. Just being surrounded by books make me happeeyy.
Okay bye.
