PUNCTURED!

OH NO!!! I've a backlog of stuff to write about!! Well.. so here goes:

Last Mon (22nd June), Chip, Mom n I went to MacPherson, coz Chip's bicycle tyre punctured, and there's this bicycle repair shop there that we always go to.. Anyway, the bicycle was still "cycle-able", so I told Chip to ride on the bike.. U know.. Save some leg energy mah..

UNFORTUNATELY, after maybe 10 revolutions, the wheel started to degrade before our eyes!!! muahaha.. It was a hilarious sight man!! Didn't know that wheels could disintegrate until liddat...

(focus on front wheel)


I just kept laughing, coz the front wheel made it impossible for Chip to even push the bicycle.. So he had to "move it move it" like this:

haha.. I guess those passersby might be thinking that he's very farnie lor.. push bicycle also muz push liddat.. action-bedeh-cum-wanna-look-for-trouble look. All in one.

Oh. The repair shop wasn't too far from our place.. So the paiseh-factor wasn't long-lasting enough for my liking.. Anyway, the uncle at the shop was pretty cunning.. He initially said that the repair of the front wheel'd cost around $36. Then he changed his mind after lunch, telling us that he'd change both wheels at a price of $68. Mom counted and felt something was amiss.. So she asked for a detailed breakdown of the pricing. The uncle then went on to count count count.. And got $58 instead.. Wah piang. He's damn chikers lah! Wanna cheat us of a full $10! Luckily Mom's very smart. Hee... Yup!

And so.. here's a picture of the conniving schemer:

Oh! I forgot to mention that he's damn disgusting too! He wanted to test if the tyre was leaking air out.. So he dripped a drop of saliva on the floor (it was foamy and white de lor!) and used his finger to "seal" the tyre air opening with his drool lah! EEEK! I almost wanted to puke out the bak chor mee I ate during lunch!

Hee.. aiyah.. but overall, I'm just glad that the bicycle's fixed.. So Chip can go cycle to the neighbouring mama shops n buy me my favourite Lays at a cheaper price!! GO GO GO!!!
