As usually, I went to gym early in the morning to do some work out, had facial done and paid my parking ticket after gym. Everything went well and I’ve planed to meet a friend for lunch after his photo session. But when I get into my car and turn on the engine, the car did not start. It couldn’t start at all. The battery wasn’t dead. I could basically turn on the radio and lights. I tried several times but nothing happened. So, I called my mum, my dad and my dearest. Dad was having Masters Classes at that very moment, so he couldn’t come over to lend a hand instead he told me to ask for help. While mum was at work. I doubt she can help me in this situation. So I called my dearest who had just finished his photo shooting session and told him about my situation. He was just a few km away at that time. Mum or dad, on the other hand, would have to come all the way from wherever they were. My dearest was kind enough to ask his dad for an assistant and his dad bought along a mechanic.

While waiting, I went to ask the security guards for help. They opened the bonnet and examine the engine. They didn’t know what to do. Then check the radiator for water and thought it was empty, so they refilled it for me. It wasn’t the radiator. One of them tried his best to help by calling up one of his friend but still couldn’t do much either. So they gave up and apologised for not being able to assist me in this situation.

After that, I went up to the ground floor to wait for my dearest after sitting in my car for quite a while. I told him my car whereabouts but he missed the car and went down to basement 2. Wasted some time looking for me. Okay, when mechanic arrived, he pop open the bonnet, check the battery (the battery was okay), removed the air filter, fiddle with some cables connected to the engine and then the engine started. Wow! That was fast. Nothing serious though. Man! It was so embarrassing. Imagine someone have to bring their parents along to give help. After that, I went to the remaining for the parking and it totalled up to RM9.50. This is the most expensive parking I’ve ever paid for going to gym.

The mechanic suggested that I drive the car over to their workshop for further examine. Drove there, they check everything and the cost turn out to be only RM20. Phew! Thank goodness it did not cost a boom. Else I will have to bear the cost myself.
