Refuel

Poured RM100 worth of petrol, paid RM50

Comments

Yeap, you read that right. No this is not a scam nor some sales pitch. It was just one of those days when everything goes better than expected.

Angeline and i spent about 2 hours discussing locations on photo shoot with the bridal house and it was time to meet up with Jess Lim aka BlurJess aka The Lonely Pork of Porkless Land. She was in Penang for a day or two and we wanted to catch up with her.

Along the way, i had to make a quick pitstop to refuel and that’s when the above titled incident took place.

I did the usual.

Parked my car, walked to the machine, realized i didn’t bring my card.

Walked to the counter instead and gave two RM50 notes and my Bonuslink card.

The attendant then signaled to me that i could start refueling. As i hit the RM100 mark, i walked back to the counter to get back my Bonuslink card.

“Ada satu ringgit?” the attendant asked me. For some reason, i took out one ringgit without thinking and i was given back my Bonuslink card but i also got back one RM50 note. Being all confused, i tried asking the attendant what’s with the RM50?

Instead he showed me his screen and it indicated my pump poured RM49 and he then said, “Next” and served the next customer.

I was already in a hurry to meet up with Jess and decided to walk back to my car. As i got in, Angeline asked,”What’s that you are holding in your hand?”.

I didn’t answer cause i was in a state of blurness to the max. Started my car and drove off.

“I don’t know why but i was given back RM50 after giving RM 1 to the attendant,” i told her.

The short drive to Jess’s place was total silence cause we were trying to figure out why RM49 when my tank showed:

Estimated Cruise Range 623km.

That’s full tank.

Seatbelts, finally

I simply heart Penang food; Char Koay Teow, Laksa, Ais Kacang, Balik Pulau Durians …

Seatbelts, finally

It has been a while since i have updated my blog but trust me, i have tonnes to write and i am just waiting to get back to KL to do so. In Penang, i am always busy doing chores or busy sleeping >.<!

With Apple launching the new iPhone 3GS, Macbook Aluminium joins the MacBook Pro family and also Snow Leopard, my car too had an update. A safety update to be precise. After a few days without my car, i finally got the call from Perodua saying it’s finally ready !

This time around, i changed quite a number of things since it has just surpassed 180k km and the damage was slightly less than a thousand. On top of that, Perodua finally fitted my car with rear seatbelts :)

How to: Change a flat tyre at LDP

Comments

UPDATED: Check the bottom of the entry

On the way to the Curve, William asked if i could feel his rear left wheel wobbling and i said yes but it wasn’t that obvious unless if i wasn’t been told about. So the assumption was his car needs allignment.

But we thought wrong and on the way back from the Curve the inevitable happened …

The tyre blew and the next thing we knew, we were on the side of LDP just before Western Digital. The last time i encountered a ‘phailed’ tyre was with Bernard and all we did was called up David, LOL. But this time around William single handedly change it himself. Steven, Jess and I just stood there like dodo birds, hahaha.

Policeman didn’t like my name

Comments

I was on my way back to Cyberjaya when i decided to floor the accelerator of my car. The road was an alternative route and it’s usually empty especially close to midnight. Just as my car was accelerating up the hill, i saw blue and red lights flashing. My eyes literally popped out and i stopped chewing my gum.

I slowed down my car as i approached the road block …

… just that very afternoon my mum called to say that one of my nuffnang cheques was already cashed in and i was thinking, well there goes that money -_-” …

Police: Lesen dan IC ( license and identification card) …

I handed over to the officer while i tried to give those pitiful look ala Puss in Boots from Shrek -_-” which obviously failed big time when i knew i was speeding like a donkey.

Police: Kenapa tak diberi nama Johnny ke …? (Why weren’t you given the name like Johnny?)
Me: Eheheheheh *giving those dumb grins*
Police: Siapa bagi nama kamu ini ? (Who gave you this name ?)
Me: Bapa saya (My dad) swt
Police: Bapa bagi ??? Bila kamu ini balik kampung nanti, pergi marah bapa. Tanya kenapa tak diberi nama macam Johnny … (You dad gave ? When you are back at home, scold your dad. Ask him why weren’t you given the name like Johnny)
Me: Ehehehehehe *dumb grin routine again*

He returned my IC and my licence and i drove off :)

For the first time, instead of cursing while driving back i actually smiled :)

So as how my sister was let go because she’s a doctor or rather soon to be doctor, i got off because the policeman simply didn’t like my name -_-”

As for the record, the policeman that spoke to me was a very nice fella and just kept cracking jokes while talking to me. I guess it’s very rare to come across such situation :P

Moral of the story ? Have a name like mine and not Johnny …

P/S: … thankfully i wasn’t singing like what i did last time, if not God knows what will the policeman say this time -_-”

Kittens Gone Wild

Petrol headed kitties in my car

Comments

Yesterday was definitely an unusual day. After having lunch with my family we headed home, just to find out that our car porch had a kitten running around. My dad asked me and my brothers to bring it out since we were gonna wash the cars that evening.

We did the usual which is stomp the foot to scare away the kitty.

That didn’t work and it ran under the car and disappeared …

… so I got the keys to the car and opened the bonet.

Kittens Gone Wild

This would be a great ad for toyota :P

I tried to grab it but it ran deeper into the engine bay -_-”

Kittens Gone Wild

Then one of my brothers alerted me that it’s near the suspension. We tried luring it out but it made matters worst. The kitty was gone again … it went some where deeper.
