the bittersweet symphony of life

Streamyx rocks my socks! It has been so shitty for the past couple of days that the only thing I was able to do is Facebook-ing.

Anyhoo, last Sunday, was a long long day.

Started off with Shopaholics Unite with Yun & Lynn and then to Subang Parade with Joyce & Lauren.

And here comes the interesting part.

Upon hearing a loud snap in front of Joyce’s place, we examined the car for any damages that might have caused it. Everything seemed perfectly normal. But it didn’t seem to feel normal though.

“It’s okay, home is just a stone throw away. I’ll  just drive back and check it later.”

But after getting on to the main road, it felt like my wheels were falling apart and my steering wheel was really ‘loose’.

I became even more panicky when stupid Malaysian drivers started to horn when I stopped by the road side so fine, I’m going to drive home no matter what!

 
And my car actually broke down!!! Right smack in the middle of a u-turn causing a long trail of cars behind. Serves you people right wtf.

In a way I need to be thankful for blocking everyone. If not I wouldn’t have gotten the help I needed. Help here means a phone call home cause my pathetic phone left 1 cent and men power to push my car to a side (still in the u-turn region though).

So I was just sitting in the car waiting for my parents to come and rescue me while everyone squeezed their way thru.

At this point, Soon Seng called(come to think of it, I don’t think I know why he did) while the MPSJ fellas arrived to check and push my car aside.

Then, my mum and bro arrived with only 2 bucks worth of credit *swt*. I don’t even have my AAM card with me and their number! Ladidiladida…talked to dad who took ages to locate my card…no more credit…*beepbeep*…dad sent RM30 credit to my phone wee…call AAM…waited…and waited…and waited.

I’ve always felt that sepet people have sharper vision due to the smaller area they are able to see at once . My cousin who saw us from far actually thought mum and I were king so-ing with my brother.

Self-entertained…

 
Can you see a really really faint rainbow???

Cousin’s new hairstyle.

Trying out the borders…

and also the panorama function. Fail kau kau wei.

After bout 1 hour, AAM man 1 reached, checked the car, called tow truck and left.

While sitting on the grass (still waiting!), it hit me that there’s no way my dad would know how to send over hp credits! So the only person left is SOON SENG!!! My mother was seriously impressed with you wei! Haha. Even I, someone who needed it badly didn’t even think about asking you to send some over. Thanks so much~!!!

This was how long it took for the tow truck to come.

The sis and I sheltered ourselves in the car and that’s my brother outside. Don’t understand why the rest would prefer to stand under the rain.

The arrival of the tow truck! I’ve never seen the whole process (Johnson’s one was different cause how was I supposed to pay attention when it’s at 5 in the morning!) before so I was being very jakun-ish like “oh wow the car is raising now wee” and “eh they’ll just crash into my car if they reverse right?”. I know I know…you don’t need to see it to know…it’s all common sense

My question was answered. Reversing into the workshop.

AAM man 2 removing whatever he needed to remove from the tyres.

“Nah, ambil ini sebagai kenangan,” said AAM man 2 while handing me the receipt.

Sigh. What a waste of 3 hours!!!

Anyway I would like to say that it isn’t my fault that the drive shaft broke…whatever that is.
