Car Incident

This morning, i was going to school as usual and started the engine. Jerk, jerk and died. 2nd try, jerk, jerk and died. 3rd try, jerk and died.

All of a sudden, my extremely helpful Caucasian neighbour knocked on my car window and asked me whether my battery is flat. I said i'm not sure and he asked me whether i know how to push start the engine. "No idea" was my reply. I got out of my car to let him handle the vehicle and he got it starting in a jiffy. Also because in front of my house is a slope and pushing the car was not really necessary. Nonetheless, i am very grateful for this kind act as i had never spoken to the neighbour who had moved in only a few months ago.

After school ended in the evening, i had wished that the battery would not have played tantrums again and it died on me the 2nd time round.

Thankfully, Dz, Aaron and Qy were there when i could not start the engine. I thought that i would be able to push start the engine with their help. I was totally wrong. I knew nothing of the procedure and i kept turning the ignition key when the car was being pushed. After their energies were depleted, i then realized that the gear need to be engaged when the car had gained enough speed.

We then went to a nearby petrol station to get some battery water but after inquiry from the petrol kiosk staff, we found out that my engine's battery water cannot be refilled and the whole battery needs to be replaced by a new one.

After an hour of waiting for the car mechanic, my car came back to life. Hopefully this incident would not repeat itself too soon. Thanks to all the helpful people around me. Really appreciate your kind help.
