Travis' injury

For those have been asking after Travis, thank you so much for your concern. I have finally met up with the tow company and RM last Thurs to settle the issue and resolution was pretty quick.
The manager of the tow company took a look at my car & the documents and subtlely admitted it was their fault by agreeing to pay for re-spraying.

Now lies one more problem, I need to let them bring Travis to the workshop and there is NO Way I trust their tow trucks anymore. What's more, they intend to come to my office to tow Travis away .. can you imagine?? I will probably be the talk of JBL if that ever happens. ... sigh ..


Travis' injury ... see the ugly green paint....

Car Wash !

Finally my poor car had a wash on Saturday after being subjected to his daily "pepper mask" from JBL for the past weeks. For a moment, I have forgotten that my tyre rims were silver cos they were so coated with dust and mud and what have you that it was BLACK !!! Arrghhhh ...

So here are some "evidences" that we REALLY did wash Travis okie ....No prizes for guessing who did more of the hardwork ..hahaha ... No hor, it is equally tiring sitting inside the car cleaning okie .. = P

Some pointers from this car washing experience:
  1. Never do a manicure BEFORE you decided to wash .. nails were all ruined!!
  2. Always bring some drinking water when one decided to dedicate 2 hrs under the hot sun! (Yes,yes, my fault .. we were so desperate that we nearly drank off the pail ..hahaha)
  3. Always check where "Maria" is cos you DO NOT want soap dripping on your head!
  4. Never try washing your car away from the washing bay cos will kenna FINE man. Thankfully, some kind soul warned us of that while we were happily having a foam party.

My New Love .. Ain't it Cool !

For those who have participated in my little game ... thanks for all the comments. It was fun reading thru them and the smses sent. Seems like a Honda Civic tops the list of guesses yah. Hmm .. wonder if it is becos (1) You know that I used to drive a Honda Civic (2) I look like a chiongster/ ah lian (gasp!!) (3) You have been to my company compound and noticed all the Civics lining the carpark, my conclusion, Engineers LOVE Civics/are chiongsters/are ah peks trying to be hip...hahaha

Anyway, surprise surprise !! Think you were not the only ones , even my parents thought I would have chosen the Toyota or Honda....

For those of you who are wondering why I didn't choose some cute little cars like my dream volkswagon beetle with flowers painted all over (so me right??) or even a stylish Toyota Vios.. I really wanted to, but responsibility got the better of me so I decided to be a good grand daughter/daughter/cousin and go for one with boot space large enough for wheelchair/prams/groceries etc etc etc (yes, I am the default family chauffeur now)

And of cos not forgetting my dear friends whom I HAVE to make sure sits comfortably in the rear passenger seats .. otherwise someone will suggest I buy a van like B*** !! = P

Oh by the way, my new love has yet to have a name so suggestions are most welcomed. Nope, I am serious, I like to name my cars ... the previous civic was Luke ....okie, you can stop rolling your eyeballs now lest it pops out .... hehehe
