man.. i cant believe what happened to me early this morning! i guess wat i've learnt in electro chem abt batteries is totally useless when it comes to a practical use.

firstly.. as my dear friend had used my laptop to watch porn videos, thus when i wanted to use it at nite and 'on-ed' my laptop, it showed me there was only 5%=5mins of batterylife left. but after only about 3mins and it went dead! juz when i sososo wanted to use it!

and..

worse is to come.. when i tried to on the ignition at 415am this morning, the engine won't ignite! instead i heard 'tatata' cranking sounds. the battery has been fully discharged.. aka dead! dame. was kinda flustered at first but lucky had the towing company number on the windscreen decal.called them and they said they'll send a tow-truck down. left them my hp number so that the driver could contact and find me when he arrived.

and this was when my third strikeout occurred. when i hung up, my hp went 'beep'.. NO BATT! dame again. had to borrow my fren's hp to call them again and leave them tt number instead.got so unlucky meh. 3 impt batteries all dead juz when i needed to use 'em. all late in the nite somemore.

and to add to that..

our dear towtruck took 90mins to arrive! poor me sat alone by the roadside..watching taxi's pass and being so tempted to ask them if they had a jumpstart cable and help me jumpstart my car. can help me save 40bucks too! oh..thou i managed to bargain off 5bucks. tt guy juz came..took out a cable..connect it to my battery..ask me turn on the ignition and wala.. everything back to normal. dame.. good money eh! ohya.. instead of a towtruck.. a van came. he told me their towtruck had no power so it couldnt come. i cant imagine wat if the car needed towing.. i'll end up waiting the whole morning!!!

well.. it had been a fun experience! but like my fren said.. if ever my mum were to call tt tow company.. i jux hope they wont reveal tt 'oh i hav ur particulars already as u hav called us before.' !!!
