guys, as some of you knew, my car has been sick for 3 days. overheating
problem. just got a call from my mechanic, they found the gasket is
burned, luckily the piston is not bent. damn, i wonder how the heck this
happened. i checked the water every 3 or 4 days once. the day it happened,
i check the water level in the afternoon. everythin was ok. but now,
everything went haywire.

Subs,
You mean the top gasket is burnt due to overheat? Or the damaged gasket
that caused to overheat? I replaced my top gasket about a year ago due to
oil leak, not overheat. Keep us updated!
Thanks,

i will keep you guys updated. anyway, i am not too sure as to what
happened. i got to see them later, but i think the top gasket got burnt
due to overheat. wonder how much will it cost? damn, i did not see this
coming. when the mchanic asked me whether i got heart attack or not, i
knew somehting went big already.

I knew how you felt man... been there once... and lately too. Everybody
needs money nowadays anyway...will try to help you out with the
freelance thingy.
Standby for a levi's couple's tee designs will you. If yours are chosen
for next year's couple's tee campaign you'll get RM250 per design.
ajin created 8 already and nizam like them very much. But they would
want some more cos its going to be bigger next year, so more
designs. I'll have to double check with nizam about this. Call me in
two days.

Hey subsonique
sorry to hear about your car man. my guess is the thermostat thingee.
prob it is jammed shut hence your water is not circulating

volcane, hey man, no problem, there is only one thing left to do, to
mourn over the sickness. haha, no la, that'll be the last that i'd do.
well just fix the car la. not knowing how much it's gonna be. and i bet
your explanation did cause the whole thing to shut down. because
when we crack down the culprit, it was the thermostat and the
stopper thast we found out.
chekai, what to do babe? just pray la. hey thanks for calling, man.
