远水难救近火,远亲不如近邻。

Last night, I went out with my mum to do some last minute shopping for CNY. While i was driving my dad's pick-up to White Sand, I realised that the steering wheel became really tied. When I needed to turn my pick up into the White Sand enterance, i have to used many more times of strength to turn the steering wheels. The first thing that came to my mind was flat tyres... But the tyres were perfectly fine. While my mum went to NTUC to buy her stuff, i went to check out my pick-up.. Under the dim street lamps, i could only see some brown liquid dripping from the boot area...

I panicked a little and called my dad for help... but he didnt know what's wrong.. then i remembered the car mechanics that helped us once last year.. Called him and told him my situation and he said it could be due to the leaking of the power steering oil. As he was busy at that moment, I need to get someone else to help me. The first person that came to my mind was Kelvin... He has a car and stays at pasir ris and he can just pop by the petrol station and help me get the power steering oil... Lucky for me, he was at home when i called him... then he and YInru came down to my resecue with that bottle of oil...

As the leaking was pretty bad, after pouring a fair amount of oil, the steering wheels only loosen by abit. So it will be pretty difficult for me to manuve the car through the turns that i need to drive by on my way home.. The first big turn which i need to overcome would be the round-about in front of White sand.. As there were quite a number of cars parked at that area, Kelvin and Yinru accompanied me while i waited for the cars to leave that area.. After about an hour, i tried to drive the leaking pick-up while kelvin drove behind me... more like excotting me... haha...

This was quite an experience for me and i really appreciate kelvin and yinru's help last night... Without you two, i'll still be stranded by the roadside till dun noe wat time... U guys sarifice your quality time together to help me... i'm so touched.. I always believed that during troubled time, one can finally find their true friends... there is also a saying in chinese: 远水难救近火,远亲不如近邻。From the bottom of my heart, I'll like to say a big thank you to both of you...

谢谢你们!!
