Well some of my friends may know that i'm not a person that believes too much in luck but what happened last night was purely a streak of bad luck....First of all i found out that not only am i broke, i'm also in debt with somebody which for my case isn't something that happens often(mostly because i have something against borrowing money unless absolutely needed ,why you ask? is because of a few misfortunes i've had borrowing money to my friends)..........

The most misfortunate thing that happened last night was that my car broke down in the middle of the road......the battery just died and i was on the middle of the roundabout with no lights...talk about serious misfortune...middle of a roundabout isn't exactly the best place to have a dead car and worst part is i checked my battery earliar in the morning and also checked the engine oil and all the usual inspections... fortunately or maybe unfortunately a mechanic seemed to have passed by and offered help... being cautious of the nature of most people i rejected his help and asked my friends to help me move my car to the side of the road. The mechanic insisted on helping so i had no choice but to trust him and he inquired that my battery was dead(as if i didn't know that)but the next thing he said puzzled me , he said apparently there's something wrong with your alternator then i didn't know wat was an alternator... after that he insisted on taking out my battery and changing it for me .Since i had no other options so i took his offer hoping he wasn't just another conman(car batteries cost quite a lot)... fortunately he wasn't a conman and he returned with 2 new batteries but that didn't stop him from giving me a unreasonable price on the battery a new battery for 165 and a not really good brand for 85 and a service charge of 10 bucks.. as i said earliar i was pretty broke already so i had no choice but to buy the rm85 battery and seeing that my original battery is in his hands i had even less choice......worst of all i had forgotten to call my parents to tell them beforehand and asked them the wises thing to do... when i have remembered about it ,it was too late and the deal was settled.. got a scolding from mum because of it(haih ....)
After changing the battery i thought everything was in order and i can drive my car without any worries then the mechanic told me that my alternator was broken which means that the electrical current in my car cannot form a complete flow and the electrical energy was flowing out thus making my battery wear out even faster than normal....(did a background check on alternators today and found out it wasn't really my fault i couldn't detect it's faultiness , it was said that i needed a car voltmeter to check whether my alternator was broken or not and obviously i don't have a car voltmeter to begin with...)
Well the only good thing bout my car breaking down is that i got to learn that my car need electrical energy to move haha had a stupid assumption that only starting the car needs electricity and also learnt bout alternators and also how hard it is to push a auto car!!
After that we went to james' old house to finish our celebration of daniel's belated birthday and min woo's farewell... even chin kin was there(although many have failed to get chin kin drunk as he was too good in playing all the drinking games)had quite a few drinks and also realized how nice gin was with some lemon juice in it!! elbin was forced to drink extra shots due to the big prank he pulled on siew ghee and daniel for about 2 months hahah.. Well daniel at least you can sleep well now that you know the truth haha
I had to leave early that night because my mum was already mad at me and i didn't want to get into anymore trouble and also that chin kin was bugging me to leave because he was afraid that everyone was gonna force feed him somemore liqour.haha...
Anyway i've gotta face the music soon so i guess i'm signing off now
