My credit card’s number was changed after 7 years. Yea, that is cool… getting new card with new number! But that is nightmare!!! Imagine, after using the same number for 7 year, and have signed-up for auto-pay or auto-debit to your insurance policies, your network provider, your post-paid phone service and many more… now I’m starting getting warning or reminder letters from them because they can’t debit my payment through my credit card… my old credit card!!!

Dammm… this is so troublesome. Yesterday I went to update my insurance policies auto-debit at Karamunsing. Then today, I went to Maxis at Damai to update my post-paid phone auto-pay.

Unfortunately, after paying and updating my Maxis account, I couldn’t open my car using the remote control. I tried many times but it just don’t want to… dammm… there is no ‘clouck clouck’ sound…

Then my colleague said, there is a sound… I do hear it but it’s too low that I thought it’s not from my car. Then I put my ear closer to the engine compartment and push my remote control button… yes, there is ‘clouck’ and ‘clouck clouck’.

So, I disable the alarm… you know… one ‘clouck’ is for lock and ‘clouck clouck’ for unlock… ‘un lock’ = ‘clouck clouck’… ‘clouck’ = ‘lock’

After ‘clouck clouck’, I unlock my car using the key… cool, the alarm did disarm.  I started the car, it don’t want to… no sound at all… since it’s very hot, I tried to wound down the window… mann… the battery is so weak… the windows is opening sooooo slow.

I check the battery but I can’t do nothing… of course the battery is there lah… but how am I going to fix it now… so I called a friend… asked ‘got jumper-cable or not’… he said ‘got’… so ask him to rescue me lah…

Since I’m already hot and sweating like mad cow, decided to go have a drink while waiting for him. After about 10 minutes, I remember there is one car accessories shop nearby. Well, I can just buy a new battery and replace the weak one… I can ask the shop to do it for me… so no hot and sweat.

So, I went to check the car battery to find out the pole position… the position of the +ve pole, whether it is on the right or left. When I press the remote to ‘clouck’ the car… wow… the ‘clouck’ is so loud… I believe it just like the usual ‘clouck’… but at this point, it does  sound very loud. Then, thinking…. since the ‘clouck’ is so loud, the battery must have ‘self-healed’!!!

So, I tried to start the car…. COOOL… it started!!! So, I was saved with embarrassment… save some money from buying a new battery too… what a day!
