petrol dried up!

this is my 991st post. still 9 more posts to go before i move to wordpress WP). actually i already have my WP blog created about 2 weeks ago. i am learning how to use it; it’s for testing purpose at the moment before i make the blog public when i stop using blogger. my webhost, boringest, had been helping me all the while with WP. thanks so much.

4 days ago, on tuesday, for the first time in my life of riding chaly, chaly’s petrol tank was all dried up while i was half-way riding it!! can you believe it? silly me use chaly until all dried up.

well, there is a ‘reserve’ plug (or whatever it is call) for chaly’s petrol tank and i usually make sure that it is off, so that when i forgot to refill petrol, and petrol runs out, then i switch on the reserve, and i will have enough petrol for me to ride to the petrol station. however, that time i don’t know why i forgot to switch off the reserve plug… thus when the petrol ran out, and i thought i can switch on the reserve plug for use of the reserve petrol but to my horror, it was already on! so no more petrol at all! chaly was all dried up! the nearest petrol station was too far for me to push my chaly there. luckily i phone my sister and asked her to buy some petrol for me. luckily there was a kind person (foreman) at the petrol station who was willing to give my sister a container to put in the petrol.

phew! silly me! friends laughed at me when heard that i ride my chaly until it was all dried up. i should have estimate when the time to refill petrol. as i mentioned before, usually it takes about 8 days for the petrol to finish. however, that time, it went all dried up within 4 days! silly me should have realised that, that was because last weekend, i went to and fro to tanjung bungah twice, thus using up more petrol (while most of the time, i just use chaly for to and fro office – short distance).

gee… why is chaly’s ‘stomach’ so small eh… can’t fill more petrol… unlike chaly’s rider’s stomach that though is small, but can fill with lots of food and drinks. lol.
