Left house at about 8:10 am for Nilai St. Theresa Church Feast-day celebrations.
At 6.8 km Lekas Highway, we heard some loud noise from the engine compartment ....te la tak tak cha cha .....
I slowed down ... the car was still moving smoothly ...
Then I noticed the water temperature has shot up to the maximum .... and quickly stopped to check.
Fan belt has broken, water pump and alternater were not moving. Serious problem.
Using emergency phone located along the highway. It was working and Lekas Highway staff answered.
" I need help, a tow truck to tow my car home..."
"Sorry, we do not have tow truck service... if want we can contact outside truck for you.."
I thought the fastest service should have come from highway operator .....%$#^$#%&&&** what (*&*) service it provides!
I called my insurance "Auto Assist" service. Promptly it despatched a tow truck from the nearest panel workshop.
45 minutes later, the truck arrived ,and another 45 minutes later, my van was safely home ... free of charge!. All in the saga lasted 2 1/2 hours.
St. Theresa of Lisieux is my favourite saint. She is also known as The Little Flower of Jesus. Moreover, this was the first time I attend the feast day of St. Theresa Church in Nilai.
We should not be deterred by this ordeal.
Immediately, we used another car to go to Nilai and arrived 15 minutes before the Mass ended.
I was so happy to meet Fr. Alvin Ho, a Jesuit Priest who has been away in US to study for many years. I knew him in St. John Cathedral Kuala Lumpur years before he entered the seminary.
More than 500 attended the feast day celebrations, many of them are foreign workers from many countries.

| St Theresa of Lisieux 里修圣女小特肋莎 |
今早八点十分左右，开车去参加汝来圣特肋莎堂主保庆典。
车抵达Lekas 高速公路6.8公里处，突然听到来自引擎厢哒哒嚓哒声响。我马上放慢速度，车行的还很顺畅，没有什么异样，所以还想继续行驶。
这时我见到汽车的热度表达到最高点，我马上停了下来，立刻开引擎盖检查。
我见到拉水泵及发电机的皮带已经断裂，这是个大问题。
步行了大约半公里，使用大道公司提供的紧急电话，联络大道公司办事处。
“我的车不能行驶了，可否派拖拉吊车来把车子拉回我家。。”
“对不起，我们没有吊车，但如果需要，我们可以代为联络外面的到来。。”
我以为最快的服务应该是来自大道公司 。。。$#%@^^^%%**$ 真×&×的王八，什么叫做服务。
接下来，我联络保险公司的紧急服务部门，告诉了状况，地点及需要，四十五分钟后，拖拉吊车抵达，再过四十五分钟后，我的车安全的拖到了我的家门。完全免费！整个事件，共花了两个半小时。
圣女小特肋莎（也称小德兰）是我最喜欢的圣人，我们也是第一次要参加汝来圣特肋莎堂的主保日。
我们不会给这考验难倒，到家后，马上的换了另一辆车，在弥撒结束前十五分钟抵达教堂。
很高兴的遇见弥撒的主祭何艾文神父。他是属于耶稣会的神父，在美国进修几年后，刚回来，目前在芙蓉圣母望见堂服务。我在他还未进修院前的好几年，就已在吉隆坡圣若望主教座堂认识他了。
今天的庆典大约有超过五百人参加，其中许多是来自多个国家在此工作或读书的信徒。
