the weekend that past

ok a quick update on my tiring weekend.

friday: went to the college general for a seminar we organised. 60 people turned up! that was consider a lot looking at our usual seminar only about 20 – 30 turned up. in charge of registration and taking care of food and so on.

when i was riding my chaly from office to the college general, as i was nearing the college, chaly suddenly died on me! no matter how hard i kicked at him, he just wouldn’t start. a man who was at the opposite house where i stop chaly, spotted me in my predictment and came over to help me. he try to start but can’t, and he was so nice to go back to the house to bring some screwdriver or spanner to check chaly’s spark plug. no not the spark plug problem he said but dunno what some kind of thing that give ignition that was the problem he said. he asked me to push my bike to a motor shop somewhere nearby. nearby? but from what he described, it sounded so far and i have no strength to push chaly all the way. so i decided to phone my regular motor mechanic to come to the college to repair it for me. well he came to have a look and said the problem was quite serious and he needed to come back the next day bringing some tools/parts. i told him to come at 11.00am as i will be leaving the college at that time and need to use chaly.

saturday: morning did not sit in the seminar session but was outside at the secretariat table. it started raining. at 11.00am, my mechanic did not turned up yet! and i was rushing for time to go to church for some work, then go back home to get ready for my SSVP dinner.

he came only after 12 noon and he said he had to change a few parts… all of which cost RM116 and added RM30 service charges… waahhh! naughty chaly made me  poorer by RM146! so sad.

well reached the church about 1.00pm, did some work, then went home… and in a few hours time, had to get ready to go for dinner.

dinner started at 7.45pm but i, being in the organising committee had to be there at 6.30pm. very busy running around during the dinner… which made me ate less! (sob!). dinner ended at 11.00pm or so and by the time got home was already near midnight.

sunday: morning went back to college general as had to be there to clean up and pack up when the seminar ended at 4.00pm. left college general at 5.00pm for a feast-day mass in one of the church. wahh!! didn’t know the mass took so long – 2 1/2 hours mind you. i was already tired from the seminar and had to spend 2 1/2 hours at the mass! reached home around 9.00pm, watched some tv, read paper, went online to read blogs…. until past midnight and can’t keep awake anymore… that’s why no update that day!
