Here I am.. sitting at Starbucks with my already room temperature Green Tea ice Blend, waiting for my car to be serviced. You see, my car is 1000km overdue for its major service which includes the timing belt. I forgot to check the milage two weekends ago, so last Saturday I was supposed to send it in for service, but I forgot. *sigh* Busy processing photos for client. And then came Sunday, the workshop was open, but they were trying to complete backed up jobs so they do not accept any more ‘drive ins’. Same goes to Monday, a public holiday.

So I had no choice but to bring take leave today to get it done. Why take leave? Well, I do not want to risk another week. The snapping of the timing belt is no joke, resulting in major engine damage. So I would rather take leave and get it replaced before I have to spend tonnes of money repairing the damage.

Ah.. the joys of owning a car. hahahaha

So here I am… sitting out the hours. I could have taken an hour or so off work to send the car to workshop and get back to work. And then right after work, go collect my car. Unfortunately, working in cyberjaya is a real bummer. Situated about 30-45 minutes drive from the city, logistically it is not convinient to drive up back to civilisation, admit the car then take a cab back down to cyberjaya again. The taxi cost would be astronomical!! Bus? Come on.. I would have to take a half day leave for that. Furthermore, shop not open till about 10-11am.

*sigh*

There’s probably a big fat bill waiting for me later. I still have to get my car electronics done later.
