Being A Temporary Mechanic





Things are different nowadays. We have to learn and know many things. Being a medical student also must know a bit a bit about a car.. hopefully next time not only can treat human, but also can treat a car. If being a doctor cannot cari makan, still can work as a part-time mechanic ma.
Haha! This reminds me on my SPA (suruhanjaya perkhidmatan awam) interview. I was asked by the DATO: "do you think economic recession can affect you? and are you really to TANAM SAYUR when malaysia have too many doctors and no more vacancies for young doctor???" huh...
Within 2 weeks, i had involve in 2 incidents about car. The very first one was a punctured tyre. My car was PUNCTURED in PJ. huh.. then ended up have to change the tyre by the roadside. luckily, the rain started once i am done with it. huh!


The next incident is not my car la.. but it was my neighbour's car. Sam's car ended up with a problem with his water tank. We were just came back from supper and the car ended up with lots of smokes in front of college. Sounds like recently a lot of smokes... sure Chuan Huan will understand what i mean..

On the next morning, we did some physical examination and investigation. We think there is a leak on one of the major vessels(main paip) where the water flow into the heart (engine) from the peripheral (water tank). So, we were very happy and snapped some photos and bring those photos to a mechanic in PJ. The uncle was really nice. We presented the finding to him and he said it is a simple procedure. He just gave us a suitable paip and ask us to change the paip on our own. If really cannot then only call him. by the way, he let us go with his spare parts before we pay him! huh..


After 45 minutes of operation, both of us also stained badly with the oil inside the engine compartment. And finally, we manage to cut of the main vessels and change with a new vessels. The car has finally gone back to normal.

This is the main reason of the SMOKEs...
