Feeling Lucky

While I am feeing shxxty at work, I am constrastingly feeling lucky 'outside'.

Ever since i joined the EVC (European Van Club), I have been getting a lot of tips here and there to touch up on my ride. Firstly, they passed me a few pieces of static screen which i paste over my rear side windows (to reduce visibility). Secondly, I was given the lobang to get a real excellent and economical air freshener from S.S Supermarket. Most air-fresheners are over-priced due to the packaging and such. Next, the EVC chaps recommended me Mustafa which has a very huge car accy department. I bought a fluorescent lamp there to be installed in the rear of my partner.

But the problem came when i was abt to install the lamp myself. Although i am a graduate from NUS Electrical Engineering, I have to admit i dun even know how to install the lamp in my van. The wirings are so complicated. Fortunately, a principle engineer from my dept offered his help and he did all the wirings and connections for me.

Next, I faced the problem of how to mount the lamp permanently onto my vehicle. An EVC friend passed me a lot of 3M tapes and i spent 2 long hrs to fix it in vain. In the end, she suggested we drive to a car workshop owned by another EVC member for help. A hole was drilled and tadah. .the lamp was successfully secured under the roof! All these could not have happened without the help of this great friend from EVC.

And i jus received a phone call from my ex-staff, who invited me for a movie outing next sat. V touched and happy by their nice gestures. As i do not like to watch movie, i declined the invitation, but suggested a dinner gathering after thier movie. Yeaps!!
