3 wheel drive


Yes. It’s a very thrilling experience. True story.


Dadz was as usual was sending a truck of soldiers to their respective institutions – 3 rounds; MD, SMJA and UBD. While driving, I suddenly felt (I couldn’t hear cos I had earphone on) that there was something wrong cos that feeling was strange. It was as if we were moving on some sort of momentum. lol. It was as if there were no wheels. Literally. It’s like you were riding on some rides. You know, FLYING! Before I know it, I saw a tyre rolling away towards my right. Sorry but I am still improving on my description skill. So, it happened in slow motion…and I remembered thinking…whoa the tyre’s off! And I even looked, with fascination, at the tyre which rolled in slow mo till it stopped a few meters away from where we stopped. It was exactly at the opposite side of the GHK showroom. This happened at about 6.38am so there were not many cars. The back tyre on the left came off cos the night before, dadz was fixing it the night before and he did not tightened the nut and was meaning to do it today. He forgot. Lol. Just so you know, we weren’t moving that fast! And I know the consequences of such "accident".



The left side


The front left side of the tyre was half buried on the soft soil with grass. I don’t know why but I didn’t feel embarrass or anything. I don’t know, should I be? lol. I thought the whole incident was hilarious. And oh! No one panicked. lol. Bra said it could have been worse – the tyre could have come off at the roundabout.


So within 10 minutes after waiting for rescue, a Good Samaritan stopped by and offered to help send 1 of my bra to school. The man sort of knew dadz ( I think) and he has a son who is studying in SMJA too. So 1 down. Another bra left after a while as his van took him and were off to KB. Me and sis waited for dadz’s friend and we left the scene around 7pm. I almost tripped over while getting myself out of that soft…patch of grass! It dirtied me heels. lol.


Deep deep!


Don’t worry, the pick-up truck, or Optimus Prime as some of my friends call it; will be in the workshop on Wednesday. What?? Am I gonna get judged at the kind of transportation I use? Lol.


Not too bad. Started my day flying. Have you experienced it? ;)
