Hasita

This is Hasita, my dad's petrol station and our bread & butter for the past 22 years. Eventhough the location and puny size of this kiosk may be pale compared to the burgeoning number of superstations built all around the Klang Valley today, this station holds loads of memories.

Over the last 15 years or so, this station had undergone a few revamps in terms of the oil company's re-imaging (to the new Mesra convenient store concept), enlarging the underground tank capacity and even the re-positioning of the dispenser, which was built from above onto the normal, ground placement. Hasita is one of those handful stations in the Klang Valley that has a 2-storey building.

Plenty of good and bad memories here. One of those funny ones was one time, a drug addict got into the men's toilet and tried to light a fire (presumably to smoke pot or whatever), the vapour from the petrol was at a high then and this chap came hurriedly out of the toilet, looking confused and shocked when the extra flame from his lighter burnt his hair out and left him charcoal faced.

Moral of the story : Don't piss and burn. Hahaha. Idiota.

But really, do NOT have a fag at petrol kiosks. We'd never know when danger strikes. Sometimes we take things for granted.
