Twas a baaad day for me. Woke up early to head to the office to get a start on some work but instead ended up getting in late. Why?
Cos a minibus cut me off at the merging lanes after the holland road turn and caused me to hit the kerb pretty hard. The left front tire was flaaat. So after trying unsuccessfully to change it (and making my shirt tak-glam sweaty) cos the nuts were a special type that couldn't be easily unscrewed, I drive my limping car to the service shop near FP. I was quote a price for the tires (the right one needed changing cos of a small puncture) which came to about $200 for collection in an hour. Not too bad.
However, half hour later the mechanic tells me the left front rims are dented so u need to change the whole set and the camber. *groan* we're now at $500 and he says can collect it at 3pm.
It gets worse. At lunchtime another fault is found, the shock absorbers are bent out of shape. Meaning? New suspension needed. I'm quoted the replacement parts and I'm now almost $1k out of pocket. *double groan*
At the office, the work is piling up as I slowly try to work my way through my to-do list. It is a futile exercise as my mind is elsewhere. Even FB isn't interesting me today.
Thankfully the evenin evens my moods out. BMW testdrive with Nai was sschweet and we meet luke later for some chow at walas. Twas a great night of drinks and talking. Bunny boiler exes, silly teachers we had and the big weekend comin up provide lotsa laughs.
