My trusty little Milo Tin had a heart attack :(
Milo Tin having jumpstart cables inserted into his heart to give it a jolt
It was working all fine in the morning when I woke up and drove him to bb's house, but when I wanted to start him up again, he had heart failure. This is the first time something of the sort has ever happened to me so naturally I started panicking. Flat tyres I have encountered before, and heck I have changed tyres on bigger cars than my little Viva. Twice. I even wrote a post about it *click here*

So anyways, I got all panicky and stuff as I was supposed to meet my elder sister in the afternoon. Called bb and he came out of the house like some tai kor -.-" After a few tries he told me, "oh the battery problem" :p lol, I kinda knew that already >.<
So to tackle this 'battery problem', we walked to Chow Yang to find the mechanic there, but the mechanic shop was closed!! T.T then he said, nvm eat lunch first. I was like, for real?!? I was already having a heart attack myself cos if we couldn't find a mechanic today I would have to take emergency leave tomorrow just to settle my car problem.
But thank goodness we managed to find a mechanic (actually it was a tyre shop) that was still open even after lunch because apparently for these few weeks they will open on Sundays until CNY (which is just a few weeks away yay!)
After jumpstarting Milo (it took a few tries but we managed to revive him for a while), we drove him straight to the shop where they proceeded to operate on him.
Milo's new heart. It was pretty expensive as it was the no-maintenance type of battery. Well, we have a one year warranty, so let's see how it fares :)

Doing some last groundwork. bb says this is to charge the new battery.
After which, Milo Tin was resurrected, and working like brand new again!!! *claps*
So to give him a treat, we decided to give him a bubble bath cos I had neglected bathing him in months
The front
The back (can you see my little space cow?)
The side with the scary car wash fella
I am ashamed to say this, but yes my beloved Milo Tin, I have neglected you...your bubble soap looks black when they were washing it off :'(
Look at the fellas all doting on him :D
So now Milo Tin is clean again!! and this is my first SS moment in him with little hippo :D
A cute moment of little hippo's first excursion out to the mall with us :D
btw, if you're wondering why my Viva is called Milo Tin, it was a name given by my sister cos according to her, when you slam the car door, it sounds like you're closing a Milo Tin :/
