Xiang Gong on business trip to US 8-13 Feb 2010

May 24th

There was a last minute call from Xiang Gong’s company to fly him on business trip to US on the week before CNY 8-13 Feb 2010. Due to peak season of CNY festival, most of the airlines have limited seat availability especially in return flight. We have no choice to change our plan to drive back to Klang at midnight just only when the flight arrive to Singapore as there sure heavy jam if we depart in daytime. Damn pity to Xiang Gong as he needs to drive straight away after took about 18 hours flight and have no much time for him to adapt with local time and left side driving (he got jet lag for about 10 hours and right side driving in US). We depart at 2.30am and reached Klang at 7.50am. At night, NG’s family has CNY reunion dinner at restaurant.

Xiang Gong left his car key with me when he is away for business trip. I was asked to drive his car to work. One night, I drove to Parc Oasis to collect our mails from the new owner. The car suddenly out of battery cannot start at all! I was panic because it’s happened in late night at 11.30pm. More >

I sent my Mitsubishi Lancer Sports for 10,000 km service today. I requested the service guy to look at the right hand side of bumper which drop about 1 cm from the rear light.

The mechanic told me this most likely cause by bump from behind, but it’s may not be visible from the surface. I did not tried very hard to insist this shall cover in the warranty. I had to wait for the call in the afternoon to see what is the next step to take.

True enough the mechanic called in the afternoon and confirm the damage was by bump from behind. And the repair cost is 160 and only can adjust it back to 90-95%. The work involved remove the plastic bumper and hit the bracket that support the bumper back to original condition. I’m not sure how serious inside, I decided to leave it as it. As this may not worth it as the gap is small and did not affect any part of the function. May be defer the repair to the next schedule service after 20,000 km.

I’m kind of give up in maintaining the external appearance of my Lanser, after the scratches from the both front doors when we get someone to force open the door. This is out of no choice as the spare key is in Singapore while the key locked in the boot of the car in Sekinchan, Selangor about 450 km aways from Singapore.
