Car Servicing is No More a Hassle!

It’s always a headache for me being someone who do not know a thing about cars and automobile. I always feel lost of direction whenever my car gives me challenges. I would not know what to do or where to go if there’s a problem with my car, for instance, which service centre to go to for tyre problems, servicing and etc. especially during the time when I was driving my Wira.

Now that I am driving my baby Avanza, I still have authorised Toyota centres to depend on. However, the price is always at the higher end somehow. Just don’t know why. More premium kot! 😛

One of my tyres was flat on Wesak Day. Gosh! I had to change the tyre… again! (This is not the first time I have a flat tyre). It is not a good experience changing tyres. Someone can easily get dirty, sweaty and messy after the session. Not that it’s a mission impossible. It’s just tiring and taxing, especially when you’re in middle of a busy road. I am lucky that it happened when my car was parked indoor.

After changing my tyre, I saw a nail poked deep in the rubber. I do not know where did it come from. It’s stuck and ‘rolling in the deep’ of the tyre. Grrr… U know the feeling?! Trying to figure out where the hell did the nail come from but you couldn’t get the answer.

Positive thinking : Lucky that I do not need to buy a new tyre. It’s just a nail. All I need to do is to find a workshop to mend it. The question is WHERE?! Suddenly, my cousin’s name flashed in my mind! YES! He’ll be my hero. But wait! Does his workshop mend tyres? I did not know. All I know was that he just started his own workshop early this year, somewhere in Puchong. So, I called him today and asked about it. He said yes, he does mend tyres. Awesome! So i drove to his service centre to mend a broken heart tyre.

Location : It was easy to find. Without his address, I could actually find it at one drive. No problem at all. It is just next to Food Talk cafe, opposite Courts Mammoth. More landmark : same row with Alliance Bank. Alliance Bank being the last shop of the row, his workshop is the first. Here is the full address :

Zhi Sheng Tyre & Auto Service Centre
23, Ground Floor, Jalan Kenari 9,
Bandar Puchong Jaya, 47170 Puchong, Selangor
Contact no. : 03-8071 8586
HP no. : 010-545 8291, 017-916 3331 (Jeson Chong)
Working hours : 9.00am – 7.00pm (perhaps call before you come to check on availability. Mana tahu workshop penuh, kan?!)

zhi_sheng_tyre (6)The first shop next to Food Talk, same row with Alliance Bank

If your cars need servicing or are giving you challenges (touch wood. No one wish for this) and you happen to be around Puchong area, why not give this workshop a try? It’s an authorised Castrol Auto Service centre and they use original Castrol semi-synthetic oil. I heard that they have a promotion coming soon.

Here is a glimpse of Zhi Sheng Tyre & Auto Service Centre. Quite tidy and neat for a car workshop! I like it coz it’s clean!

活在当下

这么快,七个月又过了。不久以后,我又重生了。

这一次不如往时、即将要自力更生。

心情有一点复杂。

期待着以后的不知情,渴望着以后的完美,准备着以后的一切,迎接新的生活。

听起来是不是很不“当下”呢?

人就是那么的矛盾。

人生最开心,最快活的就是活在“当下”,感受着现在的时刻。

感应着现在的环境、空气、面前的人物、东西与气味。

但是、头脑就偏偏会顽皮地想象着那些很“不当下”的事情、搞到自己的心情很渣乱。

这一些是否表示着我是活在“将来”吗?

有时候,头脑都会想起以前的事情、让自己觉得非常不开心。

这又是否代表着我是活在“过去”吗?

所以说,人生是不是应该活在“当下”是最开心、最快活的呢?

Calling for my Osho Zen Tarot and it Heard Me

I have been searching high and low for this book and deck called “Osho Zen Tarot”. A friend of mine has always been using this and sharing it with me for quite some time. Whenever we feel lost and looking for an answer to some uncertainty in life, we always consult the deck. So far, it has been very sharp and accurate. However, hers is Mandarin version. I need an English version. Therefore, I started to google for it. And finally, another friend told me that it can be found in BookDepository.com at a reasonable price, cheaper than buying it at the store in KL. What more? Click. Click. Pay. Click. Done!

According to the website, it says 7-10 working days for delivery to Malaysia. Waited until the ninth day but my parcel has not arrived. Started to panic. So, I emailed the customer service of the online bookstore. The personnel called, Jackie advised me that they have sent it via Royal Mail which eventually will reach the hand of the local daily postal service in Malaysia, namely Pos Malaysia. And they sent it by free standard shipping which means, they do not have any tracking number. What?!?! Lagi panic.

But Jackie was kind enough to tell me that for any possible loss or missing item, customers can lodge a complaint only after 25 working days. I need to wait again. I checked the mailbox so many times but no sign of it.

Yesterday was the 24th day. Being an Osho book reader, I must do something to recover my parcel. I started to recite in my heart the following : “The Osho Zen Tarot which I ordered will reach me by today at this address XXX (complete address with postcode)”. I repeated the sentence numerous times throughout the day.

And miracles do happen to those who believe in it.

Well, I had to call the day off and I need to leave the office in the evening. I left the office and took the lift down. I walked pass the mailbox and upon reaching the exit door, my inner voice told me to return and check the mailbox. This time, I saw stacks of letters of unknown owners and there was a new stack with a Pos Malaysia “we missed you” note. And on the paper, my name and full address with description of my parcel, asking me to collect my item from the Post Office HQ. It was such a magical moment. The deck heard my calling and I heard its too! I smiled big as I was overwhelmed.

The place I collected my parcel located at 0 Floor (Tingkat 0)

 At last!

Early next morning, headed toward the post office and collected my parcel before work. Holding it in my own hands feels so real and joyous. Something that you have been expecting for such a long time, has finally arrived. I believe that this is a great demonstration of strong willpower and law of attraction. I am too excited to open up the parcel. But I need to wait until I reach home first. Haha! 🙂

The funniest part of why this parcel did not reach me was that it could not fit in into the mailbox. *sweat*  Someone #statingtheobvious

The Day My Shirt “Burst”!

4 April 2014 – I love today! It has been such a wonderful day for me so far. Well, in the morning, I finally got hold of my long awaited Osho Zen Tarot deck and book which I ordered weeks ago. I shall share my experience in my next post.

In the afternoon, a few minutes before lunch, the shirt I was wearing torn, literally “burst”, causing a big hole at the back. It all happened because I was trying to stretch my body after staying in a sedentary position for awhile. I heard a loud ripping sound on the fabric but I just couldn’t see nor feel it within reachable areas of my hands. To comfort myself, I could only say that all the effort in my workout is paying off now. Hahaha!

Image

Coincidentally my shirt was green. Everyone started calling my Incredible Hulk. |||*_*

I quickly (and cautiously) walked to a mirror and there it is! A big hole!!! OMG! How-lah?! Few more minutes to lunch. Think think think. Brilliant idea. I carried my laptop bag on my back as a cover and head to Uniqlo without fear. And what I saw was they are having a “Limited Offer” for long sleeves cotton shirt. Waahahahaha! I can tell it’s MY day today. Tried two designs and bought one of it at RM49.90 only.

Image

Well, I didn’t change into the new shirt straight away. I wore back the torn one with my backpack and walked around the mall to grab my lunch. Lunch done. Back to the office to change.

This is absolutely a memorable experience for me!

I chose this one – small dots on plain white. Nice? 🙂

想法 . 信念

Image

您相信吗?您的信念大大的影响着您的想法。而您的想法就这样影响着您每天的生活与心情。

如果您的信念是,“赚钱难、洗钱易”、它就这样随着发生。

让您觉得生活是很困难的。感觉上,钱就会很困难的赚回来、很容易的用完。

如果您相信,“赚钱不难”、感觉会不会好一点呢?

想一想。

就这样改一改想法,钱真的会比较容易赚回来吗?您就不会这么容易用掉您的钱吗?

再想一想。

举个例子:家里地上的砖破了、需要修理或装修,您会怎样去想这一件事呢?

想法(一)、“哎哟!装修要很多钱的。怎么办?我辛辛苦苦赚回来的钱,这样就没了!”

想法(二)、“噢!是时候装修了。不如找一个手工好,价钱公道的师傅来帮帮忙吧。”

您会选择哪一种想法呢?而您的选择会不会是被您的信念所影响的呢?

无论您选择了想法(一)或(二),地砖还是需要修补的。不是吗?

但是、您可以选择好好利用您的信念,不让事情的发生影响您的想法与心情。

 

* 地砖需要修补的例子是本人目前面对的状况。您可以猜一猜我是如何面对这件事情的呢?
