One fine morning

It's on Wednesday, Fei got early meeting, hence we opted to go to work by bike, turned up to be a bad idea. As usual, we took the highway from Juru Auto-City towards Penang bridge, I saw a few motorcyclist stopped by the roadside, while some guys changing their tyres, not uncommon, I said to myself.

After taking the turn to Penang Bridge, leaving the tol plaza, I felt my tyre was running flat too! &@#$^&^(*()$%$... what better way to start our day? No choice, quickly slow down, put my side signal, park my motorbike as close to the side as possible. Then...wait....

Managed to unplug a nail from my tyre which was quite new.
Finally(15 mins later) one nice guy arrived, offer to help fix my bike, charged me RM20, which considered quite cheap already.

While he was fixing it, I show him the nail. Straight away, he knew we were from Auto-City, as he fixed a few on the way too, the same type of nails seems to be the culprit. Well, what can I say, this was the same incident reported by local newspaper couples month ago. The nails were there for a purpose, and we are the lastest victim. I really hope the guy who fixed my bike does not involved in this, if not, I want my RM20 back!
How often can you stand on the bridge, watching thousands of vehicles passby, while enjoying the haze all the way from Indonesia?
End up...Fei was late for her meeting...
