Just when I’d blogged about the decisions that went well for 2009<\/a>, one decision that I’d blogged about being a right one the year before<\/a> comes right back to bite me in the arse.<\/p>\n

Basically, it’s been a terrible week for our Nissan Latio. On Sunday, while going up slope at the ramp leading up to the Compass Point car park, our Latio protested, groaned very loudly, slid backwards even with the accelerator pedal depressed – and best of all, spewed out tons of white smoke LOL. It was quite the scene outside the mall – we were so much at our wits end we forgot to take iPhone pictures of the spectacle. This red Nissan gushing out lots of thick, white whatever-that-was vapor\/smoke.<\/p>\n

So, Ling took the car for servicing the day after on MON, and the Nissan folks took a day to look through it. Ling reported that they took apart, checked through everything, and gave our Latio a clean bill of health. i.e. They couldn’t find anything wrong with it.<\/p>\n

So, we took the car back, drove like normal on TUES. On WEDs morning, I drove to work as normal and parked under my favorite spot – which is a spot nicely tucked between the edges of two umbrella trees’ leaf span, i.e. sweet spot to avoid dive bomb attacks from the birds. 11 hours later when it’s time to head home, the car now doesn’t start. !@#!@#!#!@#!@#%<\/p>\n

So, now I’m stuck in school, and after having called the car dealership which has activated their mobile tow and repair guys to come rescue our Latio. Have to wait for them to show up in the oft chance that it’s just a car battery problem – and unlikely so because the battery was just replaced last Oct. Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
