As usual, I was driving from my hometown way back to KL at about 0100.

Suddenly, I felt the car is shaking at the back and I could not steer my wheels well. I knew that the something wrong with the tyre. Luckily there was no car around and I was able to stop the car steadily. When I stepped out from the car, I realised that I was in the “jungle area”. It was dark as no one was there except the cars passed by.

Well, at this time, the only way that I could rescue myself is to change the broken tyre. I quickly get the simple tool pack from the boot and get started with the jetting process. I was hopeless as I managed to get the 3 screws out from the tyre but not the last stubborn one. It was very difficult to take out. Finally, the stupid screw was taken out after so many attempts, but sadly, the stupid screw was stuck in the screwdriver. I really got mad!  How could I fix the spare tyre without the screwdriver? There is no way how bad my luck is….

The only way to get it done is to screw the rest of the 3 screws by using hand, sound ironic, isn’t it? Then, I drove the car with the speed of 15-20 KM per hour. (Of course with the hazard lights on). Many cars and lorries flashed at me. I can’t be bothered them! I stopped at every 3KM consistently to make sure the screws are not loosened.

Finally I got home at about 0430. It is an exhausted day and also a bad day. 23 Jan 2006, I remember you!

I planned to have X’mas celebration at

Singapore

this year and I made it.

No special or wonderful itinerary but I enjoyed. It seems every trip to

Singapore

is always enjoyable. Glad to meet up some ex-schoolmates and chit chatting while having Dim Sum buffet at Tung Lok’s Arena restaurant, Boon Lay.

We straight headed to Orchard after the buffet. Although the weather seemed moody on X’mas eve, but the crowd was still big. The deco along the street is better compared to previous years.

I was so lucky to have jeans there which fit me the best as my body is not good in shape. Almost spend most of money on shirts and jeans this time.

This trip is rather plain but I felt good. Thanks to Minyoon on providing accommodation and meals.
