Holely Moly!



Lately, I realised that it is best to just be simple. 
Simple outfit, simple hairstyle, simple home, simple car, simple meal....
The simpler things are, the simpler life will be.... trust me, I have been there...

The other day, I decided to rush to the nearest money changer to exchange some money for my mum's upcoming trip. Just when I was about to reach my destination, it started to rain cats and dogs. I decided to park at the basement. Smart choice because upon leaving, when i started the engine, the sun roof suddenly opened up by itself. No matter how hard i pressed the "close" button, it just wouldn't shut T___T  I thought of driving it back with  a BIG hole on the roof but when I was approaching the exit, I saw that it was still raining heavily! Sigh... I was late. I needed to go back. What should i do?!

Of course many crazy ideas went through my mind. May be I could use an umbrella to cover the 'hole' while driving? Or maybe i just let the rain washes down ? Of course in the end, i decided to get my colleague to come to save me while I left my car in the public car park with a wide-opened sun roof. 

This is when I came to realise that one fancy feature means one additional problem. 

The mechanic called me and told me that the sun roof CANNOT be fixed. Apparently, the 'controller' is spoilt and to replace a new set of sun roof, it will cost me $4,900. WHAT?! I told her not to fix it. Just find a way to seal it up since we do not use the sun roof anyway. 

So how many times do u we get something we don't really use or don't really need, or we bought it but instead of making life simpler, it makes life more complicated?

Big hole!
If u are lucky, u might even get poo-ed by the birds!


Of course in this case, we didn't get the car because of the sun roof. it just comes with it whether we want it or not. It is, however an additional selling point for the seller. 

Like what my mum sometimes say, one more kid, one more problem. But now that all her kids have grown up and turn out not to be so bad, she must be grateful that she has so many of us hehehe...

good thinking, at least from now on, I won't be so envy when looking at others' car with sun roof. $4900 is really ridiculous!

haha ya, sunroof is just a hole, no need to have it one~ What's more, it will make a hole in your pocket one day when it's spoilt.. like what happened to me T____T
