the blondie revisits

Time: 5:50 a.m.

Touch n Go balance: RM 8+

Value not enough to pay toll to destination. Too early in the morning to reload without leaving the car.

Mental note from home all the way to toll house: “Don’t go to smart tag lane. Don’t go to smart tag lane. Don’t go to smart tag lane.”

Reached toll house.

“Ok, am not in smart tag lane.”

“Eh, where is the little toll-person-giving-out-ticket box?”

Realisation hits.

“Damn I’m in the Touch n Go lane.”

Crap.

Rear view mirror. “Oh ok no cars. Good – too early for people to drive anyway. Let’s reverse.”

Reversing reversing reversing.

“Crap. When do these reflective orange/white toll lane separator burjiggies end?”

Reversing.

“OMG! The only ticket lane which is open is righttttt at the end. How on earth am I going to end up in that lane all the way over THERE without causing any automobile disaster?”

Rear view mirror. “No cars.” Blink. Deliberated.

“Sheesh. Forget it.”

I went through the Touch n Go lane anyway.

Because I didn’t want to cause a jam at the destination exit, I exited at bloody Rawang on my smart tag; u-turned and re-entered the highway via ticket from there.

In my defence? I hadn’t had coffee yet… Brain function expectedly a bit thwarted THAT early in the morning.

And yes -- I've reloaded my Touch n Go :)
