Shakira- Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story- LA TORTURA!

I had breakfast with Jamie this morning at the Citibank Building to pass him his goodie bag which he forgot to take from the PAR on Saturday. 

 

I completely forgot to tell him about about happened to my car yesterday- it overheated.  No sooner than 20 minutes of driving, the temperature gauge in my car hit the highest level.  Smoke was billowing out of the engine and my car was reduced to a splattering halt.  It started at Jalan Damansara (by the CIMB building) but I managed to drive very slowly (with cars behind me honking angrily) to my intended destination which was Jeanne's house.  About 200 meters before Jeanne's house, the engine died and I let it glide to the house.  Called AAM and they arrived an hour later.  Diagnosis- very bad and the car had to be towed to the workshop.  It was already 10pm at the time, so I thought I'd call for them to tow the car later today.  I drove Jeanne's parents' spare car- a station wagon, back home, and I'm driving the car for the next few days while I get my car fixed.  SIGH.  More money out of my not-so-fat wallet.  Judging from the reaction of the AAM technician (he practically gasped when he saw my engine) it could be an expensive repair.  I hope it looks worse than it actually is.  Thing is I had sent the car for re-spraying and servicing just recently.  I wonder if it has anything to do with the negligence of the mechanics there.   

 

Didn't sleep too well either, thinking of that.

 

Anyway I didn't run much yesterday- I, along with the scores of other runners- KLCC regulars, even online regulars, track regulars- turned up at KLCC park to have our version of a "modelling shoot".  We were required to run slow enough so that the photographer from the Star newspaper could take some shots of us, and a few of us were interviewed.  Still it was nice to see such a large group of people there, especially those we hardly see at KLCC- Ajeep, Adam, Ah Toh, Kevin Chow, Yaziz, CM, Chen, Kelvin Ng, Andreas (!), Jason, Thomas and others.  Of course the regulars were there too- Azwar (who actually isn't so regular nowadays), Kenneth, Jamie, Newton, Li Sar, of course, RONNIE.  Later, the 5 of us were interviewed- me, Jamie, Ronnie, Azwar and Kelvin.  The reporter asked why, when we started running, and a few questions on the upcoming MPSJ 10k run, which will be held this year on June 26th.

 

I have a meeting to attend today at 3pm.  Just a last minute thing thrown onto me as I entered the office this morning.  And I have no idea what it is all about.  Sigh.  The other 5pm meeting will be attended by my superior. 

 

Long day ahead.
