Saturday

Saturday used to be fun... but today seems to be a series of unfortunate (or fortunate) events. Sent X9 for servicing... the elderly technician got the visor fixed the wrong way and I had to help. Then, when I found 2 nuts missing... the young boss came out to try to fix it with another 2 alternative models! While releasing the caps, found that one side of the frame for the visor was also LOOSE. Which means, the nuts weren't even tightened. I swallowed it.. for the sake of our friendship and I also felt something amissed today, with the young boss' dad and also the elderly technician. The former nearly felt like fainting once and grabbed my arm and the latter seemed to be forgetful.

I went to Sim Lim in search of something to fix my lights. Then I went home. On my way home, I heard something metallic hit the road just beneath me but could not tell what it was. Then, upon reaching Bayshore Road, the engine felt funny and I saw that the oil signal was lighted up. then I slowly drifted to the side just before the approach to Bayshore road. There was a burning smell and it just "died" on the spot the moment I applied the brakes. For one thing, the engine could have died while I was right in the middle of the heavy traffic jam near Suntec City! That's probably the "fortunate" part.

I tried umpteen times to get the workshop guys but on saturday evening????? Anyway, had to call EMAS to tow it away from ECP. EMAS is another weird story. To make a long story short, in the end, I had to wait until Monday morning....
