"Carleakingphobia" NO MORE !!!!!!!!!

I've been phobia for a year when i have to leave my car in heavy rain... because my car had an unknown leak surface .. The leak surface allows water (from the rain) gets in the driver side "floor" and the more longer i leave the car in rainy surface the more water comes in and the floor penuh dengan air...

It all started when Shah Alam had experienced massive floods last year (i'm sure all of you remember).... I'd parked my car inside my college and i was in laboratory to perform some experiments.... it's raining pretty heavy but for all the staff and student, we all like "sudah tegal" because we know a little rain may lead to small floods in the college...

But it all changed that day... 45 minutes rain leads to a massive floods in the college and TTDI, Shah Alam. I have a bad feeling towards it.. but remain calm because the experiment is "a-must" thing to completed.

After class, which the rain still falling down heavily, me and my friends decided to lepak at account department... When the rain had decreased, i decided to run towards my car....

Before i'd managed to run... my car already sinked in a "cat-smelly" floods. I nearly pengsan when i see it. Because the flood level had reach more higher than my knees when i standing beside my car. ( i don't have camera phone that time.. so no pictures)

Lucky of me, the seats didn't get wet but the "floor" had been covered with water pretty badly... Me and my friend takes the mat and used it as "gayung" to flush out the remains water on the car floor.

But the stories not ended there.... the leaking start to be noticable in 11th May 2006 (my birthday). I'd left the car in front of my friend house (rainy day too..;p) and I follow her to watch Vince's show at Green Cow Studio, Damansara with her car.. (yes, i'd celebrated my birthday that day with Vince .. remember????)

When i get back to her house... I realized the driver side floor fulled with water !!!!!!!! I have no idea how the water comes .. i been "traumatically" for a year ... Starting after that miserable day, i always parked my car inside the parking buildings or i will not driving in rainy day... (but i can't run from parked my car at open surface parking lot, because my college don't have covered parking lot.)

I decided that my phobia towards it must be stop... I'm tired cleaning the car floor... honestly i have no time to take my car to workshop ... i only take it to service center... itupun I pening to choose perfect day/time to send the car to service centre... I pernah tanya satu workshop (chinese mechanics) how much they charge to check the leaking... they say RM300 and takes 3 days.... because nak buka dashboard la... bla..bla.. it's fucking expensive i tell you... I'd sense they "kencing" I because I'm a female... No way Jose !!!

My sister decide to get helped from her hubby .. and he's agree.... He knows some mechanic friends...

Today morning (rainy day too).... me, My sis and her hubby brought my car to his friend's workshop... It's Indian mechanic shop near my sisters house....

What can i say is... Those Indians mechanics were pretty fast when dealing with my car problems... When i told them exacty what is the problems.. they start checking with no further questions... The mechanics start pour some water over suspected area and... walla!!! they found the route of leaking... It only takes 2 hours to repaired.. (compared to three days... ewwww)

But all of us, include the mechanics were pretty shocked because the route of leaking is not come from the front bonet (inside the engine) or the mirror.... but it's from the right fender's signal/lamp wire port !!!! (God Almighty.... i didn't die electrocuted or what so ever... ~~*sigh)

Using my camera phone here's some shoot that i'd manage to take during the day



So basically this is coverless right fender, suspected to have leaking route

oh look... RUSTY... fucking shit!!! the previous mechanics (do i need to tell the machanics race???) that had repaired my car due to accident didn't spray rusty protection


Ane the mechanic show us the leaking route


Ane figured out how the water entered the port. The red shirt is my bro in law.

Ane and his friends sprayed a paint coat to cover the RUSTY's fender.

Ane decide to use melted foil + rubber tape to covered the port.

My sis makes a joke by saying Ane "control macho" while he repaired the fender when i take his picture... LOLs



Using his lighter, Ane melt the rubber foil for maximum protection


Another angle of foil heated procedure

So... i feel relief... no more car leaking.... they only charge around Rm60.... 5x cheaper. Cool



Moral of the story: Bring your boyfriend/hubby/daddy/brother when dealing with mechanics.... i'm not pointed towards "racism" but some mechanics (especially chinese) DO charge unreasonable price.... especially to a WOMEN.. Because from the mechanics perceptions, women knows NOTHING about car... Be a smart customer okay

A common thing... but easily to forget

Well... I'd been live in Kapar for nearly 15 years but i seems to forget one "common" event that always happend in Bandar Kapar which is "pasar malam"on Friday

It happend a week ago when i decided to go to spa center at Kapar ... i buat appointment jam 2.. but due to time clash.. i sampai kat sana around 3. (I dgn selamba giler buat appointment hari Jumaat petang...) then tak sangka pulak my appointment tue buat I hampir "makan dalam" muhahaha...

F.Y.I kawasan yg i park my car tue kawasan tapak pasar malam.... I mmg completely forgot about pasar malam that day.... Tapi masa i kena scrub, someone cerita kat spa staff yang "ada kereta kancil block satu lot kat tapak tue"... i tak sangka pulak that was my car.... staff kat situ tak tanya i pun....

After spa i turun around 5.00 p.m..... sekali dah penuh dgn pasar daa !!!! Kereta I terperangkap kat satu lot.. antara penjual sayur dan jual air minum....

Then the penjual bagi tau... "tak boleh lah pindahkan meja sekarang.... akak boleh datang balik jam 9.30 malam".... adoi.. macam poyo je ayat....

Tiba2.... astagfirullah.... fender kete aku kemik !!!!!!!!! bangsat tul... sapa pie kemik kan fender I tue hah??? ...... masa balik kolej.. takde pulak kemik.. tue (i rasalah).... then aku tgk. masing2 penjual buat muka tak bersalah..... gerun agaknya tgk aku buat muka Undertaker masa tue....

*tukar ayat org marah*

Aku mmg. tak puas hati.... mentang2 kete aku kete kancil yg macam tin Milo tue... suka2 hati mak bapak nak "langgar" kete.... len kali nak pasang CCTV lar kat kereta aku tue... boleh aku sula bangsat-bangsat tue..... org. mmg takut nak langgar kete BMW ke... 5 star car ke... tapi kete 2 bintang macam aku nie depa nak langgar.... padahal semua kereta kalau kasik letup pun akan berkecai.. (lain le ko bawak kereta kebal... tapi jgn harap kereta kebal tue immortal)... aghh.. bangsat yer... bshhhhtrkkkkvssstvvnnggg.........

*tukar ayat org. bertenang*

Emm pasal kereta yg terperangkap tue belum settle lagi... that time kalau telefon my dad suruh fetch me up kejap... dah tentu dia ~~*smackhead*~~ kepala I (Pasal suka carik pasal parking time pasar malam)... maka terpaksalah telefon my sis yg baru nak balik dari keje... tumpang kejap kat rumah dia... padahal that night dia ngan husband pegi main futsal kat ss19 Shah Alam.. maka tinggal ler I sorang2 kat rumah dia buat sementara...

Dalam fikiran nie risau gak.. kalau ada lagi.. mamat2 bangsat pegi buat turning-kick kat my kereta ke... Kapar tue kan bandar Gangster.... ~~ooopppssss

Around 10.30 my sis dah balik rumah.. hantar i balik kat lot pasar tue... then ambik kereta... dan I pun pulang rumah...

Hem.. belum habis citer lagi... Tahukah anda, sampai sahaja di rumah.... side line kat pintu kereta i tue tertanggal...... Baaannnnnggggggssssaaaaattttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
