When I was on the way back home, the ticket checker asked me to pay RM16 for the parking! I was short of RM1! I was nervous and collected all the coins around me and I safe! Ok...the sky started to "cry"...drizzling. I stucked in the jam for not so long because it was only 5pm. Suddenly, my handphone rang. It was Michele from First Baptist Church. She was asking me about the choir headcount for the upcoming choir event. I was trying to finish the conversation as I couldn't concentrate on my driving. At the same time, one police car just passed by in front of me. Thank God they didn't see me!
Not long after I hanged up the call, I was in between the smart tunnel (which needed to pay RM2 for the toll) and another longer road on the right which I can avoid paying the 2 bucks! There was a car at the right side so I had no choice but to turn into the smart tunnel! So what that means??? I needed to dig out all the coins in my car. Actually I have enough coins but it was in my bag which is in my car trunk. It was impossible for me to get it. I tried my best to gather every single cents I had. And this time I wasn't that lucky. In total I got was RM1.70.
When I reached the ticket counter at the exit, I just handed it over the coins and I prayed that she don't count on it. Well...too bad. She asked for 30 cents more. I acted a bit and told her don't have sufficient money. Then she asked for my car plate number and then started to write something. I was thinking "Oh my gosh...what is she doing. Is she issueing a penalty ticket to me? I thought only police can issue me that? I'm going to broke!". The cars behind me started to honk. Yes, I understand what are you guys thinking. I know it's very rare to see a working person who unable to pay for a 2 bucks toll. Not long after that, she gave me back all the coins and gave me a paper. Then I asked "so how?". Then she said I can pay next time. I checked the paper she gave me and my eyes was checking on the amount I need to pay. Was it RM100 or RM200??? Well...it's exactly the same amount...RM2 and she wrote her name up there.
I was thinking. Why don't she just show some mercy and let me go? Just 30 cents! Guess what...suddenly I realized I still need to pass by one more toll station which I need to pay RM0.50. LOL. Three times in a row, in one day! Can you believe this? Me neither.
