Dissection of Princess Car

I almost forgot about her birthday yesterday if it wasn't for a minor little defect yesterday which I found and yes, it landed my princess car in the Hyundai Car Centre; to be inspected.

I had to come back to Penang site to attend face-to-face meeting with some of my counterparts and when I got into my car, revved up the engine, I heard a weird sound with my car's locking system.
And then when I parked the car nicely and got down, naturally clicking on the lock, to my surprise, it didn't lock!!~:o
(I always have this habit to check my car doors and the floor after locking the car)
I had to rush to attend a meeting and left a little earlier to send it to the workshop.

On the way, I was thinking about my car and I suddenly realized that the road tax on my windscreen has expired!!!
I had it done last week; but I haven't stuck it on the car yet and I was freaked out that I drove to Kulim yesterday with a road tax which has expired by one day!!
I had to make a quick stop at home which, fortunately was a short distance from my workplace to change and stick the renewed road tax on the screen.
Then it struck me that it was my Car's birthday!!!
Hahaha.,....and it needs to go into the workshop for its celebration!

They dissected the car; okay; just the car door on the driver side; I watched as they unscrew the door panel and then removed a laminated plastic cover and took out the lock.
Then they proceeded to fix it; mix and match, test the locking, etc.
I thought it'd take a short while (coz I had a similar sort of problem with the automatic locking last year and they only took 5 minutes to get it done)

However, it seems that this time, the problem was actually the local locking system instead of the central lock and they couldn't connect to the spare part they have; which required them to go and get a new one.
It took them more than an hour.....
And once they connected it; the thing fused and died again...and they fixed it again.

Another part which tickled me funny was this; I saw a Chevrolet in the same workshop and it only took 1 mechanic to work on it.
My car initially had 1; then 2; then 3 and now 4 mechanics!!

Haha....but they got it fixed nevertheless and I drove my car home; of course, after paying them RM45 for the actuator they installed and also RM15 for their labour cost (3-4 people!)
A bit pricey....

Princess car's birthday present?
She was sick somemore....sighs.....
But now, all seems fine...:)

Sorry I can't celebrate her birthday like last year, coz there's haze and I have staying indoors for the past few days....will replace it for you yea :D

Princess Car's 2nd Birthday!!

It's Happy Birthday to my beloved Car again!!
Can't believe it's another year since I came to Penang and also this car has been mine:D
It's really been two years since I am the proud owner of my baby Atos Prima....the silver pride of mine:)
It was really a joy to see its appearance in Seoul the other day, the country of its origin and it made me feel proud...

HAPPY Birthday Car Car.....
Thank you for being there as my shield and armour during rain and shine....
I love you very much! :)

Prayer for Ah Pek

My beloved and dearest Uncle; whom I fondly call as Ah Pek has recently been diagnosed with a mild disorder but nevertheless, the news about it has left me in shock and constant worry over the past few days and I couldn't help thinking about how much I want to be right there with him and give him a hug and tell him that this little niece of his love him very much...

My Ah Pek; is the elder and ONLY brother of my Daddy and he simply dotes on me since I was very young. Probably due to the fact I was the first grandchild in the family back then, I received lots of attention from the whole family; grandparents and my beloved Ah Pek.
My Uncle just adores me and could never turn me down wherever I want to follow him; he used to buy me toys and drives me out in his Toyota car.
In short, I was just the apple of his eye.
As I grew up, Uncle could never hide his pleasure whenever he sees me and due to my academic record, I have always been his subject of conversations with his colleagues and relatives....
"She's a smart girl, look at the A's she's got...."

Then when I got into university, Ah Pek was so enthusiastic that he drove all the way with us to see my entry and even treated me to a big meal...
When I finally graduated, he was the happiest of all, bringing his little newly bought digital camera to snap memories of me graduating and entering into the world; having to admit that his little "naughty girl" (as he fondly calls me due to my princess like ways as a little girl and the whole family giving in to me:)
Uncle was truly there for every major moments in my life, in a way, he's like my second Dad...a father who will never give up on me and who will always be proud of me:)
In fact, he even volunteered to be my Godfather during my Confirmation at the age of 16....
Words can't describe how much all these mean to me....and though he may not know it, I have never forgotten a single thing he has done for me....

Last Sunday, I was alerted by a shocking revelation.....
Phone rings*
Hi!
Hi sis....it's me
Oh...hey bro, what's up?
*Whispers at the back...."Do you guys want me to tell her or should Daddy tell her?"
Huh? (What's up?)


Sis, just want to inform you something....
Yeah, what's up?
It's about Uncle...we just talked to him earlier....
And..?
Well, he's having some problems with his vision and he has gone for medical check-up
It seems that there's a growth near the corner of his eye
:O
Doctor referred him to a specialist and they advised a surgery to remove it...
It's a benign tumor; not cancerous...
Ohhhh...
But still, to avoid any issues, they are advising for removal...
Ohhhhh....is he okay now?
He's doing fine...just waiting for his appointment to see the doctor and see what he says tomorrow
Okay...I will call him then
Sure....
Are you okay?
Yeah, I am fine...I will talk to Uncle...

I know this is not a major operation, but I just couldn't help worrying...
I have always been a worry wart....
I know he will be fine, I just pray that the Good Lord will be with him all the way...
and also me.....:)
