No more car for me!

27.8.09 (Thursday)
The second day of experience in trying to drive to school…this was the second day and the last day of owning the car too…after today, no more car and we were returned to the beginning stage…walk to school under unbearable hot sun for 20 minutes…What had happened today until I made such a big decision?

Actually, It was like this. Since today my classmates aka housemates has only one class in the afternoon, so we decided to drive to school rather than boarding on the not-trustable van. Two and the half hours before the class commenced, we actually went to 747restaurant to have our lunch-wan tan mee…it was my suggestion but I ended up taking up one wrong road before finally made it to our destination…when I was trying to park the car in a quite small parking space, I accidentally scratched on the car on my right…not too much but just a little bit…I was shocked not panic enough to lose my mind in thinking the way of adjusting the car to a better position…I kept reversed and moved forward until suddenly, “BUffff” sound came out from the front part of my car…at first I couldn’t figured out what’s the matter but when I saw steam rising, immediately I realized that it was the temperature problem…there’s too little water in the car radiator!it was boiling until the car radiator cannot sustain the heat and burst!OMG! what to do now?i know nothing about car…find a mechanic.yeah!that’s the right thing to do now!
My forth uncle is a mechanic. So I asked for his help trough handphone and he promised to come to my plight when he had settled everything in his office. He also told me that if car radiator had burst, car couldn’t move anymore so the only way to solve it was tow the car to his workshop. While I was making the call, my friends bought the parking tickets. We bought for about 6 hours one with RM 0.60 per hour as we didn’t know what time my uncle will come to us. See! Another avoidable expenses…just two days ago, we got a RM 100 fine…now, money spent for parking space for nothing and don’t forget we still had payment for car repair work…

Although we had a lot of economy problems now, we still need to take our lunch. We took wan tan mee for lunch but my mood was totally down at that time. Why can so many bad things happen just after I got the car?first saman, second key problem, third car radiator problem. I just get the car for 5 days and what I had experienced was things that a 5-year driving experience man had gone through. When I told my dad about it, I though I would get scolded. Instead, he offered me another new car but of course, I had rejected it as I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t spoil the car…Since there’re so many problems with the car which is in its old age stage, I decided not to drive that car anymore. I even forbia to look at the car anymore.i really leave a bad impact and memories to me within a short period of time. No more car, then what are we supposed to do with the sponges and car wash liquid?see!another wastage…Just because of that car, our expenses sky rocketed…what a troublesome car and what a bad day for today!
