flat tyre.

i had a singularly interesting experience.
i was on my way home aft buyin stuff in anticipation for this sat,
and my tyre blew on out me.
and it was raining like shit and the road was slippery and i was semi speeding at about 90?thereabouts.
surprisingly.
i didnt really go into shock, i was like "CHECK BLIND SPOT (insert multiple f words)" as i filtered all the way to the breakdown lane.
now considering that my tyres are pretty much new, i was more then a little peeved.
and since it was raining dam heavily,
i was like "fuck should i call the rescue pple or should i just fix this shit myself."
den i thought " aiya fuck la.you want car, you gotta deal with all the shit yourself too man"
so okay, i opened the door and headed out in the rain.
instantly drenched and dripping.
(insert multiple curse words at stamford tyres for giving me defective tyres)
so since this a relatively new car for me, ive never really taken out the spare tyre before,and since i was just back from shopping my entire backseat was filled to the brim.
so thinking it was like any normal civilian car where the tyre is below the false bottom, i started moving everything infront till it was filled to the brim, den i started removing the false bottom,
den i hit shitsky 1.
i couldnt unhook the thing.
as i analysed the nut more, i realized i needed an allen key.
den i thought "fuck.they cant be tad retarded to expect everyone to bring an allen key with them, confirm wadever is needed for the spare tyre is in the kit."
so i angsted summore, and told myself to calm down.
and seriously considered calling for help.

so there i was, in heavy rain, with a broken down car,
feeling like a dumbfuck cuz i had a spare tyre and didnt know how to get to it,
and cars were speeding by me on my left.

and wad does my brilliant mind come up with?

"wah fuck sial. machiam like channel 8 drama. now all i need is a girl to come by, pick me up and bring me home for hot chocolate."

and den reality set in again as the rain got even heavier.

i then decided to consult my car manual to figure out how to take out the dam tyre.

and i found out that fiat ingeniusly decided to hide the latch tad locks the tyre in position UNDER the fucking car.
they obviously didnt consider that you don't really wanna get down on your fuckin hands and knees in the fucking rain on gravel and asphalt and search blindly for a latch tad you needta use the dam nut tool to loosen before the latch would come free.

so short story shortened,
after much cursing and swearing, the tyre was out.
and i was pretty much elated and pleased with myself.
i mean.
"HEY MAN I CAN DO THIS SHIT NIGGA!"
so i rolled it to the spot and started jacking up the car.
now i dunno if anyone else has played with that dam tool before,
but its my third time already,
and jacking that mutha up is no fucking joke.
even tho its made simpler with the tool, its still fucking hard to jack the car all the way up.
so i was sweating,and sneezing cuz the rain was chilling me like shit,
and i was pretty dam sure im gonna get a cold tmr,
and then when the car was high enuf, and i tried to loosen the nuts and bolts, i realized that i couldnt.
cuz when the mechanics tightened the nuts, they used the dam pneumatic thingamajig tad zips it dam tight.
and everytime i tried to jack the nut, the entire tyre would turn as well.
kept tryin, cuz after spending so much time in the fucking rain already, i might as well give it all i got before giving up and wasting all the effort.
so i thought up of this, i lowered my entire car back down,tearfully i might add cuz tinking of jacking it up again later was enuf to make allah cry.
den since the entire weight of the car was on the tyre, it couldnt turn.
i den locked the tool on the nut, and den i stood on it.
and bounceed..and bounced summore...
and finally it gave.

repeat x 4.

repeat jacking car up. (insert lotsa cursing)

finally got the tyre in, crawled in the under carriage to fix the dam tyre back in the replacement slot,tightened the latch again, and moved everything into the backseats, and then drove off feeling pretty dam good about myself.

wad this experience has taught me.

anything that you think is worth doing, should be done to the best of your ability.
it dont matter wad your purposes are. in this case was it ego?wanting to save money?not wanting to trouble my parents?not wanting to concede this responsibility?
wadever.
it was worth doing.
and thus it was to be done with all i had.

and i realize this mentality follows me in alot of places.
in a rship, i always throw myself in with single minded determination to make sure its as perfect as can be. and sometimes in this single minded pursuit, i lose sight of wad it really is, a bond between 2 pple.
and instead of building and enjoying that bond, i make it into something oppressive, more responsibility den emotion and enjoyment.
i guess tads just a little extreme and needsta be tuned back, but wad im gettin to is that it is worth it and should be given everything i got.
there should be nothing held back.
tad's wad love should be i guess.

tads wad anything worth doing in your opinion should be done by you i guess.
single minded pursuit BUT without losing sight of wad its all about.
kinda like no point chasing after the car but not knowing wad to do once you caught up with it.


oh wellz.

time to think of how im gonna swear tmr at stamford tyres.
=D

time to relay the shit down 1 more level.

oh yea imma bitch.=D
