Flat evening

We had a mini adventure saturday evening.

We were on the way out to Clarice's place for a nice dinner when we realised right at our estate's carpark that our right back tyre was busted! Hah! Apparently, the tyre was busted by a screw. Ouch! I guess we were considered lucky! Why? Because it didn't happen when we are travelling on tne roads with Kae in tow! Heehee. And a fellow resident saw and offered to help dar change to a spare tyre when he happened to park directly opposite us. Kind souls do exist!

When we reached the already closed Kah Motors at Ubi, we were lucky too that there were still 2 staff around, as they informed us that the spare tyre was out of air too! No wonder the car felt funny running on the already air-less spare tyre. Apparently, the mechanics should have check and pump air into the spare tyre at every "car check-up". But ours was not. Hmmm. No matter. At least we knew then. So off we went to pump air.

Then, on our way to Balestier, where apparently, there is a shop that opens 24 hourly, we stopped at Shell MacPherson, as there was a car shop was still opened. Finally, we managed to get our tyre "fixed"! Air was pumped, and the hole was repaired. $10 only! Hah!

I really think we were damn lucky in an unlucky situation. We could have been stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre, while rain was pouring down, and no help from anyone, and dar had to change the tyre on his own, with Kae crying and whining for food which we did not pack :)

Hiak. This markes the end of the FLAT evening. As after which, me and Kae went to Clarice's, and dar went to VJC for his ODAC reunion. And that should be in another post :)
