Pit Stop!

Out of a sudden, the car started trembling. It was as if the long whining engine belt gave way and causing it to react strangely. I halt by the road shoulder for the first time, calling back to dad getting assurance that it's still ok to drive on.

I started moving again, this time there is no road shoulder on the side. It's common when there is an entrance to the expressway. The car is now vibrating like there is an earthquake. I had no choice but to move the vehicle slowly until i see another road shoulder. The next 20-30meters of driving is the scariest of all my years. It is as though your life is coming to an end. At this point, i don't really know what is wrong. My mind was thinking about crazy things like explosion or a crash from behind by some stupid driver.

Well, maybe too much movie does affect your intellectual thinking. Finally managed to halt the car for the 2nd time got off to inspect. Damn.. The front right tyre is busted, i don't even know why.

How's my first experience of changing tyre on a busy expressway(PIE, Eunos)? Not bad. My grandfather was a tech so i guess i've naturally inherited the "fix it" mentality. I was able to change the tyre without prior experience of any kind. The bad part? I have this WRX driving extremely close to me and sounding his horn loud when it is just next to me. I do hope he'll get that karma falling back on him someday! And EMAS towing crew arrive exactly when i've done all the work. But i'm still thankful that someone came and pay a visit. Made me feel that i might need help and i'm noticed.

Oh damn, i've just broke my practice of "video blog".
I hope old school gif does the effect well enough :)
