I am RM250 poorer today


Sadly, in the morning when I was about to reach my destination, my tyre exploded. Luckily I wasn't driving at my usual 140kmph speed.

OK, before anyone starts to preach to me about road safety, let me say that I always drive safely. I am always alert of other drivers and will not jeopardize my safety or others. I do admit, sometimes there are road hoggers who drives on the right lane at 80kmph and it drives me crazy so I start tailgating them just to piss them off but I don't do it ALL the time. It's just that hey, some people have a deadline to catch, or a class that's going to commence, or a toilet that needs to be found. There's many reasons why some people have to drive fast and not sight-seeing on the highway. And yes, I only drive fast on the highway because the roads are longer, I don't have to brake so much when I'm speeding thus I won't burn more fuel.

However, this morning, I was only driving at around 85kmph, singing along to my music when suddenly BOOM. I was like, holy moly what the heck was that? I know I didn't hit a cow or anything. Plus, I've driven on that highway for ages, I know which potholes I should steer clear away from and all. So what could be the problem? In just a few seconds, I felt my right side of the car has sunk in. That's when I know, something must be wrong with my tyre.

I parked at the side, got out and found my right rear tyre is flat. Flat to the T. Damn. Luckily I was already close to my destination and I know a workshop nearby that can help. Oh yes, I do not have the tools to change a tyre. And even if I do, I don't think I am strong enough to do it by myself. LOL!

Luckily my rim is safe

So I drove at about 15kmph towards the workshop. I'm sure some people must've cursed me and my tortoise-like speed. I didn't care though, I don't want to ruin my rims. Once there, the mechanic immediately came to help. He told me there's no way to save the tyre. It's punctured in the middle by a spanner. A spanner! I certainly can't change to my small-ass spare tyre so I had to get a new one. Which costs me RM245! He then also changed my valve at RM5 and did an FOC balancing. Luckily I was not alone, a dear fellow came to the rescue since I was short of RM50. I don't like to bring so much cash on me since the last time my bag was nearly snatched. After an hour, everything was done.


Now, I wonder, what stupid ass of a person throws out a crooked spanner onto the middle of the highway? I have seen Malaysians throw plastic wrappers out of their car windows, cigarette butts, chewing gums but spanner? Especially when you know it's crooked and might just, in a stroke of bad luck, blow up somebody's tyre? Why are you so stupid? I'm sure the spanner did NOT grow legs or sprout wings and land right in the middle of the road by itself. If everybody is getting stupider, no wonder there was a case of idiots who threw a BABY out of their car window!

Yes, as you can see, I am in a foul mood. Bah!

Bella Enveeus said...

Yeah, maybe it's a sign. It's true though, luckily I wasn't driving at my usual speed, it could've been a whole other situation instead. :(

Stupid idiot la. And in the middle of the road some more. It was just bad luck I didn't notice it. Really. Sigh..

Bella Enveeus said...

Wah really? Must be bad luck for both of us la! Sigh.. 

Alah, why the need to dirty your fingers when you can just snap them and have guys help you out without asking for anything in return? LOL! That statement sounds like a snob. Statement tak bole blah! HAHA! Just kidding. Maybe I should practice la, mana tau I strong too! :-P

Bella Enveeus said...

Yeah.. Of all things, a spanner! Sometimes I just can't comprehend what's wrong with other humans.. :(

Bella Enveeus said...

Yea, as you can see in the photo, my rim calar. But luckily the shape is still the same or I'm going to tear my hair out! New rims will cost me a bomb at my current position. :(  Even the tyre, I need to lend from someone. :'(  Sigh.. My unlucky day..

Bella Enveeus said...

Nice soul = B-bunz

Thank goodness coz I didn't have any extras

Bella Enveeus said...

Luckily I was able to control it. I was so surprised when I heard the explosion but luckily I managed to control the wheel and also luckily it wasn't heavy traffic

Bella Enveeus said...

HUHU.. Sedih.. :(  


Oh, the MySelangorStory is still in the process. Takpe, masih ada few days to go.. (Pray hard can do it) :-P

Bella Enveeus said...

True, maybe should just change the other tyres too. But that I'll have to ask from The Boss.  8-)  LOL! 

Bella Enveeus said...

Oh alamak, you guys never read it in the news ke? A few months ago.. However, I don't remember which newspaper it was. I know it was a Malay newspaper je. Some crazy man campak the baby keluar and the baby died  :'( :'( :'(  People nowadays are monsters!
