Eventful April (2011)

Hello blog, I am back...

Anyway, here goes my days in April 2011.

April 1 ~ 3:

Have my hair permed.

Scary boat ride...


But the dog seems to enjoy the ride though.  


Not ready to go back to the reality.

April 4:


First day back to normal routine... Very... excited...  -_-|||


Leaves~  Just something random.

April 7:

First week back, and greeted with tire(s) out of air.  Frantically filled up the air for all tires, thinking that it's just low tire pressure.  Little do I know what is waiting for me later next week...  By the way, is my first time filling air in tires, though I have seen it many many times.  Definitely harder than it seems.  Tip:  Unscrew all those little black caps first, and do it real fast, cause quarters you put in will not have enough time for you to fill up all four tires if you are filling them in snail speed, like I do, though the light did went off, hehe.

April 10:

Went out at night to get grocers for week days lunch.  The tire light is coming on again.  Getting nervous, cause I ran out of quarters, and it's a Sunday night, not an auto shop nor a bank is open!!!  Lucky the counter guy is cute enough to let me fill up my gas for free, probably doesn't want to go through the hassle of exchanging notes for coins for me...

So the tire light went off again.  But I have decided to bring the car to the shop for a body checkup, there must be something wrong with the tire(s).

April 11:

Drove around town after 6PM trying to find an auto shop.  Out of luck.  By the time I get there, it's closed.

April 12:

Found one auto shop close to my area, but I got there 15 minutes late.  They closed at six.

April 13:

That tire light finally came on again.  Alarm to myself, definitely a leak in the tire(s).  Reached the same auto shop that I went yesterday at 5:58PM.  Just as I am approaching the shop, they are pulling down the garage door???  Frustrated, have to use the GPS to find another one cause I don't think I can put off with this problem anymore.  About half an hour later... (Finally, there's one that close at 7PM), get the car checked up.  Sure thing, I got to spend 20 plus to get the tire fixed.


 Look at that... bet you don't see it everyday.


Tada... A nail that's about nine centimeters long poke right into the rear left tire, and I have drove on it for one whole week...  Amazing ain't me? (I know, rolling eyes and shaking head)

April 14:

So here I am, thinking that this month is eventful enough...  Never do I know my area is hit by hail...  Once again, first time experiencing this (at least I think so).


 How is this possible?  That many in one night?  Lucky it's not golf ball size. 


Golf ball or not, it still made a big hole on the car...  I can see that the money is waving goodbye...  T_T

April 17 ~ 22:


Let me tell you about this little thing, is useless.  It stings, and dye the clothes, but did absolutely nothing to my face.  Still having tons of acne and blackhead, and getting more too.  DON'T buy this junk.

Didn't do much in between, or maybe I do, but don't remember?!  Gusty winds and tornado warning every other day or so, oh, and hail one more time (now I remembered).  But luckily the car is parked underneath the shade this time, tee hee. 

April 27:


This little evil is on my bed crawling on my face while I am sleeping and woke me up.  I thought is my own hair tingling on my face.  But when I grab it, it is something hard, and I can feel that it's feet are moving (I guess trying to run away for me, haha).  Thanks to my natural instinct (at least it is quicker than my brain, which is trying to get me a name of what I have experienced before) that makes me throw it away as quick as a lightning. Urgh!  Gross.  Cause me to not being able to sleep well for the whole night afterward, thinking there are more accompany me on my bed.  Still having goose bumps as I am writing this.  


I think it bite me, when I have my jacket on.  Guess what, I will revenge!  *Insert cynical laugh.  

April 28:

Something is wrong with this car again...  Man (as the car), do you have to keep whining like I have treated you so unbelievably bad before?


Engine check light comes on, and I have never experience this before either.  Seems like a lot of first time for this month...  Went to the dealer, and that guy told me that the technicians are all gone for the day, have to go back tomorrow, also, I will have to spend a fortune just to have them check out what's wrong with the engine.  Definitely not excited about this.  Not only that, I will have to rent a car to get this car checked out.  Insanity is everywhere.

So I went home, trying to think of what might cause the light to come on.  Then... here comes my very imaginative answer:  It must be the tachometer!  It all make sense.  I tried to reverse, and the car jerked, then I feel like the car didn't really want to move even if I have push the gas pedal.  All the oils and caps have been checked out.  Nothing seem abnormal.  So, it must be the tachometer.  Haha, I am so smart, and realised that I am going to spend another big chunk of money to get this fixed.

Checked out how tachometer can be damaged.  Wiki mentioned that the prolong use of high speed will cause PERMANENT damage or failure of engine.  Er... *picking on the skin of the nails (this is what I will do when I am nervous), I think I did drive a little too fast every morning trying to beat the traffic, or get mad at the drivers who talk on the phone, or curse at the drivers who drive under the speed limit, or cast a mean stare at the old drivers whom I don't understand why they must drive while we are experiencing traffic jam hours, and to those that eat, drink and possibly pee in the car, talking on the phone, doing their make up or hair (doing all these at the same time) while the car is in motion...  What is all these?!  You have a robot car now?  Then make sure it is driving on the speed limit!

Oh, I am way off the topic...  =(  Let's get back to the topic eh?  So, I start to worry that the engine might be damaged eternally~

April 29:

Debating whether I should go fix the car first thing in the morning.  I mean, the car can still move, other than my very imaginative tachometer failure.  After I have consulted a few people, I have decided, to bring the car in for repair first.  Call the other auto shop, found out that they are able to check it for me, yeah~  There is absolutely no way am I going to pay the dealer just to check it.  Bring in the car, gave it to the auto shop people, wait frantically for the result...  Then the auto shop owner came in from the garage, and asked:  When did you fill up the gas?  Hmm... interesting.  What has this to do with the tachometer?  I told him, last morning, and he said:  Oh, so did you screw the cap tight?  Erm... *brain is scanning through the things I have done.  OK, I remember I screw the cap twice because I don't know if I have screw the first time tight.  I replied:  I 'think' I have the cap screw tight.  Then he said:  Well, the report says that you didn't screw your gas cap tight enough.  So, it really isn't the tachometer's problem.  * Insert face -_-|||  We can turn off the signal for your for 35 bucks.  -_-|||  I replied:  OK, please do.  But, please still help me to check if there's something wrong with the tachometer, please~  Thinking to self:  so it really isn't tachometer's problem.  Then where did get all these impression that there's something wrong with the tachometer?   Of course, nothing is wrong with the tachometer in the end.  Oh well, at least I am not spending a fortune to get this fix.  ^_^V

Dyed my hair for the very first time tonight.  Well, the package says to leave the colour for ten minutes.  I finished covering up all my hairs an hour later, and waited for ten minutes...  I seriously doubt it should take that long to do it.  But, I am being slow since it was my first time dyeing my hair, and by myself too.  It was a total mess.  After that ten minutes, I start washing the dye off my hair.  Of course, the colour is splashing everywhere.  I think at some point, the water from my hair roll down my forehead, and possibly into my eyes, so I cleaned my hair with my eyes closed all the way through.  I still don't know how some can actually dye their own hair without any assistant.  The verdict, my hair is still as black as always, but my hair smoothness is degrading, it's getting rough.  Not happy.  I guess I won't do it again in the future, at least not by myself. 

April 30:   

Got the house cleaned.  Good grief, where are all these dusts coming from?  Not that I open the window.  Finished cleaning, found out another whatever bug that is at the side of my bed, dead.  Remind self:  need to report to the office...  Finally I can have some rest before dinner, and my leisure time will be... *drum roll  surfing on the web, hehe.  While I am happily surfing, I saw something white at the side of the cord.  Hmm, that seems weird, so I just move the cord away from it.  Then something scary happened!  It coiled up!!!  Getting closer to have a better look, and guess what, is a huge worm!  *yuck, goose bumps, goose bumps.  I have to swipe it up, and thinking of killing it, rather than having it crawl back to the house again...  But then, my final decision is to let it go.  But still, gross to the max...

Then , having to wash two loads of clothes, along with the blanky.  After putting the clothes into the dryer, I came back, getting ready to wash my face and finish blogging, I found out that I didn't wash all the towels in the bathroom...  Argh @#$^%^#%$@$  That means, I have to go to the laundry again tomorrow...

The end for April 2011.

It's 2:40AM on May 1 now, and I am very very sleepy...  Ciao~
