Car Battery ~ Died-ed

it was a hectic day yesterday late evening when i was about to leave the carpark... i took out my car key from my jeans pocket and pressed the dis-armed button but then, no reaction from my car... i was like oh! okay i need to walk closer to the car (my car has this stupid response) duh!... as i inched closer to the car, i start to feel something is wrong coz i was then standing right at the driver's door yet... no response from the car to dis-arm itself... in my heart i was like ou! shit!... zzzz...

so i forced to enter the car and immediately the car alarm activated... and the alarm sound sounded wierd... it's confirmed that my car's battery is dead... zzzz... so i rang up -ah koong- to inform him i'm gonna be late for the dinner gathering only to find out that he's still in the offiz hahaha waiting to pick up -ah jiew jeh-... good, so i called him to come and rescue me hehehe... about 15 minutes later, he was there with -ah jiew jeh- haha and i asked him to look after my car while i go and purchased a new car batt from the nearby petrol station...

this is the died-ed battery and the new one is exactly the same

the stupid gate connecting to the petrol station from the TPM car park is locked, so i had no choice but to ask the company shuttle van to drove me out to the petrol station... this later caused a huge pile up of my colleagues waiting for the shuttle van to pick them up (later when i'm in the office, it's gonna be shitty)... zzzz...

finally i got the car battery at a very expensive price and got it changed with the help from -ah koong-... we then off head towards Sunway Pyramid for our dinner as -ah claire- was already there at 7pm... we reached at 8pm... hahaha...

back to the price... 1 year and 17 days ago, i paid RM 160 for the very same battery and yesterday i paid RM 238 for it!... WTF!...
