Of Empty Pocket & Empty Fuel Tank..

This is..... a true story.

Info: Pictures were included as proofs that all of the stated facts did happen.

One Saturday night, a group of friends, or 'family' they preferred to call it, were having an outing after church. The night was still young, just around 8 pm, and all were ready to do an important mission which was to jengjengjeng ---- EAT!! (Duh! What else could be more important?) The 'family' were using two cars for this outing, car number 1906 and car number 3872 --> The brand of the cars were not mentioned because this is not an advertisement, fyi. On the way to the open-air restaurant, which was suggested by the tall girl in red T, suddenly car number 3872 stopped at the side of the flyover. The passengers in car 1906 were worried and confused. The girl in white blouse from car 1906 called the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse in car 3872 to ask her what was wrong and their dialogue went like this:

Girl in white blouse: What happened? Why the car stopped?
Girl with curly hair in flowery blouse: Our fuel tank is empty.
Girl in white blouse: Ooops.. (unsur tokok tambah sebenarnya. Dalam dialog sebenar, ekspresi ini tidak digunakan. Ekspresi ini digunakan dalam penceritaan semula untuk menambahkan unsur dramatik.)
Girl with curly hair in flowery blouse: Urm, can you guys help to buy fuel in the nearest petrol station for us?
Girl in white blouse: Okay. Can~

Note: The more accurate version of this significant conversation can be found in this post.

Conversation ended. Note that girl in white blouse sounded cool all along because she is a cool person and whenever she encounters any situation like this, she will remain cool, because at the end of the day, she's not the hero nor the victim, she's the witness with the camera. Ahem. (Disclaimer: the writer is not bias towards the characters, fyi)

Some of the characters in this true story.
From left: Guy in black T, girl with checkered blouse, girl with curly hair in flowery blouse,
girl in brown blouse (special appearance), girl in white sandal, and last but not least, the girl in white blouse.

After buying the fuel, the people from car 1906 went to help the victims of the situation in car 3872. The girl in white blouse was trying to capture the picture of the moment, but ended up scolded by the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse because she didn't want any chemical reaction due to the flashes from the camera. So, the photos during this situation were limited.


The activity of filling up a fuel tank could look interesting in times like this. Seriously. Everyone was paying full attention while the girl in checkered blouse, the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse and the tall girl in red T was busy trying to fill up the fuel tank. After a few minutes, the car was driven to the nearest petrol station to be filled with sufficient petrol. When the chaotic moment was finally over, the 'family' was ready to proceed to the next stop.

And, the next stop would be the stop the 'family' were waiting for.



Eating time, at an open-air restaurant located at somewhere near Queensbay. Everybody was smiling hungrily.
Clockwise from right - girl in checkered blouse, girl in black blouse, girl in white sandal, guy in short pants with new shoes, tall girl in red T, girl with curly hair and flowery blouse, girl with curly hair in jeans, (don't confuse these two curly-haired girls ya~) and finally the guy in black T.



Presenting all of you with the food at the open-air restaurant located somewhere near Queensbay. And again, the name of the open-air restaurant was not mention because this is not an advertisement. (Sebenarnya, cover line sebab tak tau nama tempat tu...)
And yeah, they were tasty. The total of the payment made for these food was RM100 - food which were sufficient enough to feed 9 people. Totally worth it.

After finishing the food, the 'family' asked the guy in the short pants with new shoes to bring the sparkling juice that they bought earlier from car 3872 - and guess what? When the guy in the short pants with new shoes brought the sparkling juice bottle, people from other table were looking at him - as if he was bringing an alcohol drink instead. Sparkling juice is not a wine, ok, people, though the bottle looked like wine. It's just like Shandy of wine. But in reality, we didn't bother to explain and let others made perception about us. After finishing their activity at the open-air restaurant which consists of ordering food, camwhoring, eating, drinking and paying the food, the 'family' planned to watch a movie at Queensbay cinema. The tall girl in red T went back to the hostel with her friend, so the rest of them continued with the activity for the night. The time was nearly 11 pm. The 'family' were buying movie tickets to watch Whiteout , a film starring Kate Beckinsale.


A view from the front. They were asking the guy in short pants with new shoes whom they called daddy to buy them drinks. And he did- due the muka kasihan they were putting on like in the picture above. ;)

The movie was okay - didn't leave you much impact, it was something you watch and forget later - but that was the girl in white blouse's subjective view. The girl in white sandal thought that it was stressful to watch that movie because it needed much thinking (suspense) and this statement was agreed by the girl in white blouse. The movie ended around 1 something in the morning. So, the outing finally came to an end. Everybody went back to their respective hostels and rented apartment in car 1906 and car 3872. Everybody were sent back safe and sound. The girl in white blouse went back to her hostel in car 1906 and reached her room at around 1.45 am. Though she felt kempunan earlier for not following the first phase of the outing, she was grateful because she realized that it was a blessing in disguise. If she had followed the earlier phase, she would ended up with hole in her pocket. The girl in the white blouse was happy at the end of the outing and this could be proven by the picture below.


Girl in white blouse: Yes, I am truly happy!! Though my pocket is empty, my bag isn't. ;P
