Punctured Tyre

Since yesterday (could be Saturday even), kept hearing some bumpy noise when driving.
Suspected it is the tyre.
Didn't really have a chance to go to check it out. I think most of the petrol kiosks near my place do not have such service. Come to think of it, there might be one. Anyway.

Thus, this morning, before heading to office, I went to a petrol kiosk to try and pump up the air first, before checking out the service centre.
Went to this Esso station, and when I tried to pump my right-hand-front tyre, I can hear 'hissssssy' sounds from the tyre.
Ooops! Doesn't sound good.
Nevertheless, took out the cap and tried to pump.
Usually, in bad cases, I would see the tyre pressure maybe at 180-190 range.
This time, it showed 23!!!!
Terok!!
Tried to pump, doesn't go up much.

Jialat, quickly terminated the task, and drove off, to the service centre.

On the way there, my car dashboard shows a big red warning.
TYRE PRESSURE LOW!

Alamak!
Managed to call the service centre hotline (hands-free of course), and the customer service officer told me it's best to stop driving, and wait for help.

Stress!!!
Hasn't felt so stressed driving. LOL
The last time I was so stressed, was probably when I was working as a medical coordinator, arranging private jet to bring patient from elsewhere to Singapore for treatment.
For a period of about 2 hours, I had no news of the jet.
It was some big case, and my big boss actually went back to office to check things out.
I was a night shift worker. It's like 2/3am kind of timing.

Anyway, life has its different problems at different phases. So be it.

Along Eunos Road in the morning is not exactly a smooth ride. Traffic is still pretty heavy.
Anyway, managed to drive into an open carpark near Eunos Primary School.

Towing service was arranged, and I was told have to have for about 1.5hrs!
Alamak!

What can I do right?
So in the meantime, take picture lor.

 

A little hard to see from here, but the front tyre is a little flattened at the bottom.

At first I thought the towing vehicle would be something commonly seen when something happen on the road.
But no. it came a big truck.
Then my car was moved up for delivery. :P

Oh well, it's been an interesting experience. Not that I looking forward to it though.

At the end of it, it's just a hole that needs patching.

So the morale of the story is: Don't wait. Just get it done. :P
