My day at Goodyear Service

How many of you ladies out there, who has been to a car tyre shop before? How many of you went to the car tyre shop alone? What did you do there? I don't know the answer to these questions I have posted. However, I definitely know what I did and why I went to a car tyre shop today!



Today at about 10 am, as I was busy playing with my nephews and and my kids, my sister's neighbour gave a wave. He was pointing at my car and I was wondering why? Guess what....?? My back tyre is out of air, totally flat! The fact that I went to try Linda Onn's 'Nasi Ayam' (Chicken Rice) for the first time last nite.........thank Allah, nothing happened last nite.



So me n my 'clueless' but confident style, walked into the nearest Goodyear shop, with my ever-more-than-willing brother-in-law, to change my car's two back tyres. It is not that difficult to choose a tyre (between Michelin and Goodyear), except that I have to call hubby (that's 9 hrs by flight in term of distance of travel) to get his consent.



I kind of enjoyed watching the guy doing balancing and alignment using computer, changing the tyres from front to back, and replace the new tyres to the front. I mean, I used to think it is a boring stuff, but now it becomes the necessity, since hubby is far far away..



You see, there are a lot of hikmah being here alone. It makes me appreciate time better and really manage the time well. It's not easy to be signle-handed, thus single mothers out there.... I understand youuuuuuu...



Oh, by the way, damage done today is slightly less than RM 1K.... now no more budget to buy kuih raya..... waaaaaaaa.... samperit, cornflakes biscuits, pineapple tarts.... arrrghhhh..
