Car problem

Tuesday- Got off to work as usual. Reached the first toll on my way to work. Somebody had problem with their pass card so I thought I better change to the other lane. Put in the first gear and pushed the accelerator, nothing happened. Because my engine had stopped. So I try to restart, start engine working but not a sign of life from the engine itself. After some fiddling and some help from the highway personnel, was the conclusion that the timing belt was broken. SO had to call for a tow truck. Norida had to come and take care of the car as I had a test to run at 11:00. She got that settled, timing belt changed. Then she went to get new speakers in the car. The one that broke a long long time ago. When I came back from work she told me that the oil warning lamp had started showing. Great, more problem. Checked the car, got enough oil and no visible leaks, sop started the engine. The oil warning keep flashing (like 25Hz or so). Thought it might just be a electric problem. But as I am not that good with cars, I thought it was better to get the car checked anyway.

Wednesday- Norida borrowed her friends car, while I used the Wira. Turned out the only problem with the oil was the electric signal. But got it to the workshop anyway. Changed the ball bearings and got the car serviced as well. So IA (hopefully) it will run smoothly for a long period now.

Aida keep staying at home as PohPoh and her cousins are here visiting. Seem like they spend most of the time in front of the TV though. I am sure PohPoh chase them out to play in the play ground as well.
