I had a hard time trying to start my car this morning. Apparently, it happened once after I got back from my Korea trip in early Dec 09. During that time, dad managed to start the car after "borrowing electricity" from his car battery with the help of the battery cables.

This morning, it happened again but this time round, it actually started after several tries. Knowing that something was amiss, I decide to pay a visit to the nearby workshop at Ubi in the afternoon during my office hour. Once again, I had to try several times before the car started. Drove over and the mechanic confirmed that the battery has reached its life span.

I end up paying $150 to change to a new battery. Well, it's a blessing in a way. At least, it happened before CNY and not during CNY. My regular servicing is due soon. I asked for a quote at the same time and its around $130 for a basic servicing. My car insurance and road tax is due in Apr as well. Guess I need to put aside a huge sum of money just for my car.

Can I strike 4D please... =x
