flat tyre & good food

I had a punctured tyre today and that led to 1 brother walking home and a Hy and a Ky to be late for work.

While driving, I heard an unusual noise coming from the back of my car. I switched the radio off. And paid attention, hoping the noise came from the music playing. But no, I can still hear the unusual noise. I then stopped the car to the side of the road. Hopped out of driver's seat and walked to the back of the car. There lies a miserable looking flat tyre. Never have I seen a more sad looking part of my car.

And so Hy called up some friends to see where they are and whether they could help. They asked if I had a car jack. I popped the hood to check and told him, "nope". So I decided to walked to the nearby car repair shop to borrow a car jack. Hy didn't think the people there would borrow us one but they did. And it didn't cost us a thing!

Hy then had to drag the car jack across the road and towards my car. Which gave his friends enough time to make their way over to lend me a hand. Awesome, it was like what you see in cartoons, help appear instantly as you hang up the phone. And so they helped swap the punctured tyre with the spare one. They showed me the stupid culprit, a nail that caused the damage. I looked at where they placed the car jack and watch how they changed the tyre. When all is done and Ky had dragged the carjack back to be returned, I decided to take the car to SS19 to get the typre fixed. Hy & Ky decided to wait for the car to be fixed first before they get back to work, a which decision that realized one of my wants to feast on the famous SS19 Pan Mee (in the area where SJKC Lick Hung is, opposite Yamaha/Pathlab. Its located at the last shop of the first shoplot you see on your left as you enter that part of SS19). It was only a 2 minutes walk from the workshop.

The pan mee was really yummy. The noodle texture was soft & slightly chewy, the kind of texture that makes my teeth so happy, it makes me smile. Hahaha, it was really nice la. The flavour of the soup is similar to the ones at Face to Face but the noodle texture and shape will be the one that will bring me back to this place again. =) Plus, the anchovies are crispy. Mm mm. It seems that this place is so popular, you'll be expected to wait up to 1 hour for your pan mee, this sounds so much like the famous pork noodle in SS15. Even tough it wasn't that pack when Hy, Ky and I got there, we still had to take a number. Your order will be taken when it is your turn. While waiting, patrons would order either fresh coconut or pure sugar cane water. Ky says that their sugar cane water is special because they don't add any water unlike other restaurants. I drank up so much that I was unable to finish my long awaited pan mee. Ended up rationing some to the two.

The help that Jack, Hj & Kit gave showed me how wonderful friends they were to Hy & Ky. Always there to help. They helped changed my car tyre & even charged me less for the repair. I felt grateful that Hy & Ky was in the car with me at that time as I wouldn't have known how to deal with a punctured tyre on my own. Thank you everyone for saving my day! =)
