burst tyre

supposed to buy kfc for hubby when all of a sudden i hit a kerb. stopped and hoped that it was nothing major but i could hear the 'hissing' sound. tried to drive further but the front tyre was totally flat. cant even reach the autopay booth. called hubby and he didnt sound too pleased. oh, oh...i'm in trouble. luckily our house is nearby so while waiting for him, i went to borders and bought a mag for myself. couldnt really believe that i was that calm. when i came down, 4 guards were surrounding my car and offered to help change the tyre. though i kept mentioning that it was ok since hubby would arrive soon, they insisted on changing it for me. i was elated coz i would have never thot that it was part of their job. i didnt expect ppl nowadays would offer any help or assistance when somebody's in trouble. but these nice ppl proved me wrong.
by the time hubby arrived, it was done. i took note of their names coz there was no way i'd let them go without giving any rewards.
hubby drove my car to the nearest service centre while i drove his car. while driving, i was thinking of how lucky i was although the gesture may be considered as small to some. i wish i could meet more ppl like them. for them to locate my car and offered help was meaningful enuf while on the other hand, i was trying to hide coz i didnt want ppl to notice and think that i was such a clumsy driver....
