Terbabas

Today the lab session gets interesting.. and i'm enjoy it much.. but my feet still hurt too much...

but... when i going home from work.. i nearly encounter disaster...... everybody in klang-shah alam know that today's evening... the rain falling down heavily..... and all driver nearly can't see the road

after paying tol at Setia Alam Tol Gate... i managed to see nearly nothing of the road..... so i decided to reduce the speed to around 40-60km/j i can't remember .... i never expected that Setia Alam road will be covered in flash flood.... what happend is... i didn't see the flood over the road ... even around 40km/j speed my car tyres are experienced "hydrophobic" (i don't think this is the correct term... so i used medical scientific term).... where the tyre fails to "grap" the road due to presence of water.... that time i saw another car in front of me were move very slow in the fast lane.... so i immediately brake my car....

What happend is... my car were slippering 30 degrees drift angle..... and it's dangerous for me if i turn the steering to the left as i'll hit another car on the left lane.... I thank God i wasn't panic that time... I decided to slowly brake the car, ( active gear without clutch) until my car ENGINE STOPPED....

When the car is "hydrophobic" don't use hard brake technique... your car will be overturned or worsed... flipp.

i manage to stabilized my car. While the engine stopped.. my car are still moving around 20km/j.... Without much time... i'm set the gear to be normal, start the engine and spontanously enter the 3rd gear then accelerate....

Not only once.. i'd encounter it 3 times.... even in a slower speed of 40km/j.... I decided not to pull over because the flood start to cover all the road surface... i've to get out fast from there....

Thank God nothing happends..... i've succesfully through the road... without panic or trauma... LOL
