Car batt died on me!

My parents went Genting with uncle and dad's buddy.. 6 pple in total. They drove in my uncle's Toyota Picnic (7-seater MPV) to their destination. They left on Friday night. Well, since dad's not in, that leaves me with his car. Wahaha...

Fri night met up with Shiqi and came my place to watch TV together with sis. After our Li Daxia show was over, drove to East Coast food centre for supper with Qi. Whoo... Sumptuous stingray and BBQ Chicken wings, doused with Sugar Cane with lemon.. :D

Went home quite late after supper.. Woke up at 11+ am, and drove out again at like 1pm. Went to shiqi's place to pick her up, well, the story starts here... When I reached her place, I called her to ask her to come out but she was not quite ready, so in I went to her place. After 10minutes of apple crunching and playing with Furby (Qi's dog), we were ready to head out. But den, when I tried to start the engine, it just doesn't!! Wa kao.. I was like.. wad the f***..

I suspected the battery was dead. But still for a moment, I din know wad to do.. Cos, if u know where Qi stays, there's quite a distance to the main road. Den she suggested that I call my dad on his mobile or she can ask her dad to help me take a look.. Well, did both in the end. My dad was sleeping in the hotel.. Haha.. Den he can't do much except he smsed me a number of this Mr Rahman who is a mobile technician and can come to my rescue.

Qi's dad took a look at the car but can't quite confirm wad's the problem also but he believed my view that the battery was dead. So, he drove me to the tyre and batt shop located at the main road.. Told them I have a flat batt and they sent a techincian with us, together with a brand new batt. Reached her house again and the techincian swung into action. In 5 minutes, it was all done. He asked me to start the engine again. And boy, the engine revved up.. It worked!! Haha. Was so darn happy..

Luckily I had enough money with me to pay off the $95 for the batt. Would be too paisei to ask Qi's dad to pay for me first. Well, so it was settled. And my first time dealing with car breakdown since the time I was like.. 5? In a way, have to thank Qi for asking me in to her house before we set off. If not, the battery would have died on us at our next destination.. Hay's Dairies.. in freaking LIM CHU KANG!! Phew.. it wasn't there, if not really can faint..

Anyway, yah. we still went there eventually at 4. Fed the goats and took some pictures before rounding it off with a bottle of goat milk. Quite nice to drink actually.. Really, you should try it!

And oh! Back to the batt part.. Freak.. Remember that a uncle at a petrol kiosk topped up the old battery with water.. Yes.. Tap water meant for coolant or washer or washing car or wadeva. But NOT the batt. But he did top up the car batt with non battery water.. So I guess that helped a lot in making the old batt dying on me without a sign AT ALL! Damn.. Lucky enough that the battery is already 2 years old and is approaching the end of its life span too.. Phew..

That's it for now. A good experience anyway. But could have been worse...
