Exploded Tyre

On the way to work today, my poor car's hind tyre exploded. Not just any ordinary flat tyre, my tyre burst! I was driving around 80 kmph at MEX highway and suddenly after the toll.. I felt the car didn't really responding to my maneuver.. Thought it was just the strong wind (always felt the car moves left n right due to strong wind on the highway). Only then I started hearing "Trak trak trak..." sound from the car. I off my radio, and listen properly. The sound went worse, and I felt my car slanted one side! I stopped my car on the road side and was horrified to find out that the car tyre had a BIG hole on it! I wasn't joking, the hole is as big as my fist! I couldn't get any help at the highway roadside so I decided to slowly roll my car to office situated about 2km away. As I reached office, I stormed into the Site Office to get help. (because the site office is very much nearer to the parking) Amazingly these so called ex-department mate of mine, they were so reluctant to help! I was so disappointed with these people. I have no choice then to call my current department mate. Lucky me they came for rescue without hesitation; considering they have to walk about 10mins to the car park to help me. In these situation I knew who's my friend in need, indeed. My colleagues was horrified too to look at my flatten tyre. Worse thing was, my tool box is missing in the car boot. I have not a single idea where I misplaced it or whether someone stole it. Anyhow I manage to borrow the essential tools from another colleague's car. They replaced my broken tyre with the small tiny spare tyre. Lucky that the spare tyre still has some remaining air in it.


After work, 2 of my colleagues accompanied me to a nearby workshop to get the broken tyre changed. I actually changed the 2 front tyres last week, the mechanic told me my hind tyres were still fine! So fine that it exploded today, I'm really mad! I am definitely NOT going back to that mechanic ever!

The broken tyre was really in terrible condition. And I found out.. the culprit is a BIG nail poked onto it. Sigh! This is how much a nail on the road can do:


God bless! Need to get a tool box for my car... really!

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
