Goned Car Battery

I am always such a klutz when it comes to anything relating to my car. Well, I do know where the water should go... for the wiper and the other one... and I do know where the black oil is and where to check for it. But that's it. My knowledge on this wonderful invention called motor vehicle ends there.

So, how was I to know that leaving the car door and the back compartment ajar for four (4) straight days without starting the car at all would result in the term the mechanics loosely called "dead battery" or "battery sudah mati" (the battery is now dead). Well, at least now I know. Lesson learnt.

However, I must really thank this guy who helped me this morning. He was supposed to tow my car to the workshop as I thought there was something really wrong with my car not thinking about the dead battery at all. He, however, jump started my car and voila... the car started running again. I was soooo happy, as you can probably tell. I'm soo glad that it was just my idiotism that made the car's battery go dead and nothing majorly serious.

Welcome back, my darling car. Sorry I left the car door and back compartment ajar resulting in you not having enough power to start your engine. I promise I'll never do it again.

By and by, there was a reason I left the car door ajar... there was a house lizard (cicak) in the car and I wanted it to leave. So, there...
