Give thanks!!

My car broke down twice on the same day. I just brought my car for service last Saturday, thinking that the technician will inspect my car and do the service as usual. This morning when I was driving to work, I started to hear some sounds but couldn’t confirm what the problem is. So I continue to drive and as soon as I turned to SS2 area, the sound getting louder and I saw some smoke coming out. I immediately stopped my car and call my brother. Thank God it doesn’t happen in the middle of the highway, otherwise it will caused a bad jam because of my car. I was very worried and scared if my car will explode. My brother then asked me and my sister to have breakfast first while waiting for him to come.

Later on, my brother came for the rescue. He checks and inspects and found out that the bottle next to the battery was runs out of water. So he poured water and ask the technician to come and drive my car to the workshop.

I thought everything should have been fixed by now but unfortunately, my car overheat again and smokes coming out. I quickly drive near to the petrol station and call my brother again. Pity my brother that he actually almost reach home but have to detour back to save us. Of course he will keep on mumbling us that we didn’t take good care of the car and now the car create so many problems for us after 6 years. Although he is kind of long-winded, we know whatever he says is for our own good.

So we parked our car at the petrol station now waiting for the technician to come by tomorrow to fix the car again. I pray that this time he will check thoroughly for us and fix everything that is necessary.

On the other hand, we also plan to change to a new car soon. Like my brother say, our car is getting worse and instead of spending that amount of money for the maintenance, might as well change to a new car since it is already 6 years. He is right too.

Nevertheless, I still want to thank God for this incidence for I believe things happened for a reason. I also want to thank God for my brother who is always there to help and rescue us. ;)
