My Fair Lady

I really don't get her. She blows hot and cold almost in the same beat. She will be hot one moment, and cold the next and almost immediately, she will be hot again.

Why is she treating me this way? She used to be all nice and trustworthy, never threw any tantrums like this before. What has changed? I can't take it anymore!

Finally, I decided enough is enough. I can't let this go on forever. Something needs to be done. I need to understand what's wrong. So I went to a specialist.....

In the end, it all boils down to money. As she aged, she became a money vampire, trying hard to suck me dry. Indeed, she has been very successful. Nobody can do it as well as she did. 4 times in merely a few months. I have to give it to her!

Kowtow to my beetle! She has done it again! This time round, the A/C compressor is worn out. Changing the compressor will cost at least US$1,000 excluding labor! WTH!

I decided that for now I would rather suffer the infamous Texas heat than to give in to her every whim and fancy. Hope I've made the right decision as the heat can be really unbearable. I hope you wouldn't read in the newspaper one day that a Singaporean lady baked alive in her new beetle while driving from office to home in Houston.


p/s: The body paint work that the collision service center quoted me was exorbitant - US$1,650! I think I will just go ahead to claim insurance even though it implies my premium will increase the next time. But who cares!

I can't help but exclaim, "钱不够用!"
