Steep Hill Parking
I saw a car struggling to park at a very steep road as the car couldn’t stay on the same spot even though the handbrake is fully applied.
This usually happen to old cars with manual transmission and their handbrake is unable to hold the car’s weight anymore against the pulling force of gravity.
What you could do when you are facing this situation next time, engaged in a gear in opposite direction of your car is being pulled away. For example, if you car is rolling backwards slowly when you release your brake even though with your handbrake on, engage any forward gear.
Not an issue for automatic transmission car because they have the P (Park) to lock in gear ration in gear segment.
Not a good idea if your car engaged in gear and you want to show off your car has remote engine starting control to your friends as they will have a long lasting impression on you with your dumb act.
Over budget? Try this!
Almost everybody looking forward for their salary pay day, but sometimes we do have too many commitments to be fulfilled. Hence, over budget does happen once awhile or disaster could happen if you spend more than what you earned.
Of course there are so many ways we can earn extra cash to cover our budget and cut down our spending by shop lesser, spend lesser to bring our budget down. In my opinion, there is one more tip than people often overlooked.
Your meals! Your breakfast, lunch, dinner and including snacks and tea time. The routine which everybody will need to go through every day to get ourselves charged up and keep us going throughout the day.
Spend less on your meals, buy less or stop buying junk food during snake snack and tea time. Cut down or eliminate on dessert after meals.
Cut down or not to order any drinks during meals. I believe most of our offices has pantry and provides hot or warm water, bring your own coffee or tea and make use of it to make your drinks, instead of spending extra cash on it in restaurant.
These little money that don’t really make a difference at one glance, what is a little of RM1-RM2 to you from your whole sum of salary can make an impact? Because you are doing it as a routine during meals, you would be surprised how much you can save.
Mobbed
I heard on radio that this deejay got mobbed by three guys on three motorbikes after toll on Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP).
What happen was he noticed the rider behind him requested him to pullover, indicate him with some fierce gestures suggesting him that he has knocked the rider’s motorbike.
As far he could remember, he didn’t knock anybody while he was on the road, he was unsure what to do and before he can think of anything, those three riders is riding along side with him at the front, side and back, maneuvering him to pullover at the side of the highway. He had no choice but to put his car on stand still.
He was forced to step out of his car and accused for knocking 1 of the rider’s bike and demand for a sum of RM250 as compensation fee. All of the riders were holding a helmet in their hand. He wished not to get into any trouble and paid them off.
