k, appointment at 10. met that. had to go donate blood for my own use during my surgery. its called autologous(dunno if the spelling is correct) blood donation. which meant the blood u donate is not used for anyone but urself. if the surgery is cancelled or you do not need that blood, it will not be given to anyone else and will be destroyed. i donated a full plump bag of blood mind you... and the great thing is... im offered drinks and snacks after it LOL.. didnt know blood donation can b so.... advantageous.
after that... had lunch(akhmm bread, bsc was abit full from the treat after donation). then i was to wait till 2pm till next appointment... so, read the stars newspaper. after getting really bored with it... 2hrs is over. went to see the anesthetist(guy who knocks you out during a surgery), did some test and wasted alot of time walking around the hospital to various departments.. finally, at 3.50++pm i left GH towards mainland.
1st stop, megamall for the water filter catridge. turns out megamall didnt sell these things, so i bought my favorite magazine at popular and left. next, went to the pet shop at chai leng park to buy food for Milo... lastly, went to Thye Huat in indrawasih to get the filter catridge along with some electronics stuff such as the multimeter probe(which rong ruined) and solder wick...
then... after shopping. yes, tats my kinda shopping.. going home. then when approaching auto city, my car gradually lose power. as in the rpm decrease even when i floored the accelerator. speed dropped and a weird popping sound is heard when i hit the accelerator. knew something wasnt quite right but i pressed on, hoping to reach home and check. stupidly, when i got to the juru tol touch n go, i stopped to.. well, touch the card to go. and fkin hell the engine died. i was like WTF!? cant restart, no response at all from the engine, it just died. with grey smoke coming out of the hood too.
hit the emergency signal(the red triangle thing which tells everyone your'e screwed). got out of the car and popped the hood to a very steamy engine... srsly, smoke coming out from everywhere. n i told myself overheating isnt supposed to happen since i refilled the coolant YESTERDAY. but it turns out for some reason, the engine got so hot the coolants vapourized... as in the radiator is EMPTY. and the reservoir which i refilled last night was halved.
then this nice looking malay PLUS(the company) worker came. but he came to WATCH. that pissed me off badly. but i cooled myself and told myself i had to get my car off the lane so that i dont block anyone. so we(yea, after pleading to the malay) pushed the car off the lane into a little unused space infront of the tol.
overheat? sure, no problem, just need to cool it down then restart. cool..
called my mom n told her the situation calmly. she overeacted(as usual).
me:"hey mom, geng liao lo..."
mom:"WAI!!! WAT HAPPENED!!!%F^$*#
more or less like that.. minus the french. and then called the mechanic. he told me to cool off the engine, then try to add water and restart.
mom was in auto city, so i asked her to buy some bottled water bsc i only hv a 600ml bottle with me. i hv to wait bout half an hour.. so i read the magazine i bought in the car as the time pass by.
mom arrived bout 15 mins later.. started overeacting again..
after the engine has cooled down enough, i started adding water and restart. nothing happened. just the wheeze of the starting motor and dying engine. after a few tries... mom called the mechanic, said call had to be towed to be repaired, no hope adi...
later on i found out that if i had watched the engine temp and stopped the engine before it killed itself, i can probably drive home without much problem... lesson of the day, mind your engine temp please...
sry... didnt take pic of the steaming engine.. and was thinking bout recording a vid of them hauling my car up... but lazy la...
till nex time....
