Back. I miss Bangkok.
Yesterday was a great day that ended in disaster. My *()#$#12!!! car radiator decided to heat up during the after-work rush hour.
Ok lah, so I was negligent in checking my radiator.
BUT STILL… HOW COME the people who stopped to offer help looked so dodgy one? AIYEEEE…
Maybe I was a little paranoid. Help is help, no matter how it comes right? Should not worry about rapists or robbers or whatever right? Broad daylight some more. Neh.
See what happened was this. I forgot to check my water. So the inevitable happened. My radiator overheated, and of all times, the smoking had to happen at bloody 6.10 pm, just when traffic is at its heaviest in KL. So I called my boss, and he said he would help (Eric was on the other side of town, stuck in another jam). While I waited for the bottle of water, I sat in the car lah.
OMG I didn't dare to open the door to ppl who offered help, can? The first person who came to help just walked away and scolded me when I said I didn't need to be towed away, so I just wound up my window and waited. AND IT WAS FUCKING HOT SITTING IN A LOCKED UP CAR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OLD AIRPORT ROAD, CAN?
Nabeh.
I went and blogged about this again in MONSTER. Click!!
But things are okay now. Eric was my chauffeur today cos he decided that we needed to service the car (also because he thinks I'm a dunce for not ever bothering to check the radiators or the tyre pressures), and I've got another meeting to attend like soon. It's been hectic day, and it looks set to be a very busy week (I'm working 7 days a week this week hehe). BUT BUT BUT, I took the extra effort to show you a very very very BEAUTIFUL photo of myself.
Chewah.
*OKAY. I'm female okay? EVERY WOMAN IS VAIN. And I like this photo a lot, because the pimples are not visible, and the usual shine on the T-zone is missing in action here. *Also because I wish I were still in Bangkok, and that every day is a holiday. Well.
And dudes. I'm taken. This is my Mr Right. Hehe.

wah the Royal Palace, with great big pictures of the the King everywhere! That’s how much respect and pride for the Royalty, ehem.. unlike here*cough-cough… Did you try the ‘blind man massage’ there arr?
And don’t forget to mention about the 7-11s in Bangkok.
Regarding the car mayhem you had, the only way to avoid it is to learn more about your car, the overheated radiator could be minor like ‘no water’(i.e. probably your radiator pipes leaks) or someone opens your radiator cap and did not close it back properly hence when it heats up, water turns to vapor and escapes —> solution, shutdown car, check temp in car gauge, refill water in radiator. It should buy you some driving time to the nearest workshop to have it check out.
and really, it doesn’t take that much of your time to find out things about your car and probably prevent more embarrasment in the near future… errr… you do know what was the problem with your car, right?

actually the problem was not with my car lor.. it’s because i was really careless? and I totally forgot about the water!!

a working engine-cooling system (radiator, reservoir, etc, etc) shouldnt need to add water frequently……actually i’d put coolant and not just water..
so like what mob1900 said….better get it checked….there’s so many possibilities why the fluid deplete in the system

Oh goody. Wedding bells soon. Ding Dong Ding Dong.

Hmmm… may not be the water… could it be the temperature sensor that died out? that may have caused your ECU to not switch on the radiator fan and hence the higher temperature when you are moving slowly in the jam…
my 2 cents…

2cents you so crever… that’s exactly what happened. SET ME BACK RM199 can?

Why you put your cute head so close to Eric? Shouldn’t it be the other way round? Can we see some pictures of minishorts in minishorts? Maybe your backside also real cute one
