kaDusMama is finally back to blogging after 1 day off from working and blogging. Yeah!! (haha!! sendiri ke'happy'an). As much as i wanted to jot lots and lots of word for my entry, i just cannot think what to write or better known, i have no idea what to write at all..
Well..since I've nothing much to tell about today's event, why not I tell you about my 'so called' rest day yesterday..I finished checking the minutes (for meeting) around 2.30am..and at 6.50am, I have to wake up to prepare son to school..daughter was up early too but thank god she decided to join me to sleep after son went to school (nasib baik hubby hantar Isaac this time). I woke up (again!!) around 10.30am, showered and had to cook pulak. After cooking, i went out to service my car (which i only service once a year!! hahaha)! Crazy me, i only service my car once a year you know..not that i don't want to maintain my car properly, but...it took me almost a year to reach the 5000 mileage...Hehe
Well getting my car service was really a long business. I went to the workshop around 1.15pm and everything was done only after 4.30pm. While waiting, i was in the verge of getting my head knocked at the table edge as i was super..super sleepy and drowsy. Nasib baik the workshop boss was in a mood to tell me about his trip to Japan, Korea, China, Thailand and others that i don't really remember. I think i will embarassed myself by sleeping in the workshop if not because of the boss..
Well, long story cut to short, my car cost me a bomb again this time. Aiyoooo..imagine paying RM580 for a regular service??? Die!! But..why is it soooo expensive?? Not that i drive mercz or BMW pun, its only an old kembara..well here is the details..
- Spark Plug = RM85 (for the fuel burning efficiency..ahaks!!)
Auto oil = RM38 per bottle and my car need 4 bottles of it. so the total is = RM152
Coolant for radiator = RM30
Engine oil = FOC (last time the boss say he will give me free engine oil mah!! haha) if i have to pay for this, i need to add another RM130 oh!!
Tyre allignment = RM25
Cam Setting (its for the two front wheel) = RM110 (don't bum those big 'lubangs' on the road or else your will risk more of your money for the tyre setting.
My window bracket which went kaput 3 months ago = RM145
Labour charge = RM40.00
The total amount i have to spent was RM587 (discount RM7!! duh!! kasi lah diskaun banyak sikit!! i give their shop business what!!) Everytime my car had a probs, i surely will return to the same workshop to get my car fixed, so i think the boss should give me more discount whenever i serviced my car there..hahaha!! Anyway, while waiting for the mechanic to do a test drive to ensure everything was done accordingly, the 'not so leng cai' boss (hahaha!! kidding!!) told me, yesterday morning, there was this lady came to the workshop to get her sport car fixed. She drove a Peugot (spelling???) and apparently her car experience this shaky stearing probs whenever she drove her car around. So she went to this workshop to get her car fixed. The boss told her she only need to change 1 thing which was her ... 'forgot the name'. Sorry geng, i don't remember the part name lah..but it is use to channel the electric power to her spark plug. So yeah, she only need to change that and guess how much she had to pay for the part..??????
RM1800.00!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAZY!!!! Uh la la..i saw the husband came to pay the boss for the work done and punya senang lah he pay RM1800.00 in cold hard cash! phewww...sure lah super rich people kan..
Anyway, the workshop boss advised me never ever buy Peugot or Citroen (spelling again??) car unless i have at least few thousands of ringgit in case the car has a probs. He told me every part of this two brand car will cost you your head..(not your arm or your limb).
Eventhough my car gave me this headache after getting it serviced, at least it didn't reach the 'K' amount..right?? Well, that the cost that I've to pay for driving a 4wd car..Don't play play oh! The recent probs my car had was this broken shaft's bearings which cost me around RM900 for 3 biji bearings. DIE!! So if possible, don't ever drive a 4wd car..hahaha (It was my hubby's idea to let me drive my car now!) It is very costly and can kill you..this past 2 years alone, I already spent around RM10k just for my gearbox, shaft, starter and others (forgot already)..crazy sekali!
Now, i only have to wait until middle of year 2009 to get my dear kembara serviced again! ekeke! Oh! After I finished with my car, went back home to cook dinner, and by 11.00pm, I was so weak (no energy at all), i fall asleep without even brushing my teeth and wash my face. Funny is, if i didn't wash my face or brush my teeth, I will automatically wake up 1 hour after sleep to get my regular deed done. So yeah..i did woke up in the middle of the night to brush my teeth. Didn't manage to sleep peacefully as i was disturbed by my itchy throat which caused me to cough continuously until 1 hour past dawn (as if i got batuk kokol saja)..
But..so far my day today has been good! Still have this itchy throat and blocked nose, but I only nod few times (The flu meds caused me to be drowsy) while doing my work. Hope I will be able to sleep peacefully tonight....and lastly..for all of you who wish me for my well being!! TENKIU ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Glad that so many people do care about me! *muah*
*DUH!! No idea konon to write post konon!! Sekali panjang menjela2 pulak!!!
