My Toyota was recalled at the workshop for repair and here are the components that were replaced:
1. The turbocharger
2. The exhaust gas cooler
3. The compressor and the filter
However something went wrong and the motor’s calculator blew up and now they have to replace this component too and it will take few days.
They are willing to let me use another car during the weekend but it has cost them 3 days of work and a lot of expensive components to replace. My Toyota Yaris might come back as “new”.

I was very happy that they replaced some new stuffs in my Toyota Yaris today. However, the “engine light” is always on and it scared me a bit when I left the workshop. I will have to take it back tomorrow so that they can either reset and turn it off or tell me what was wrong.

As I get older, I find this mental exercise very interesting. When I talk to people, I always ask very straightforward questions. My intention is not really to annoy anyone. I just want to know the limit of their knowledge.
I am very polite but extremely determined to get the answers! If I notice an annoyance or a negative reaction. I usually walk away from any commercial deals because it means that the person is either trying to rob me or he does not know what he is talking about and that I need to do more research on my own using google or asking other people.

My neighbors rewarded me with food for my help. I got chicken wings yesterday from Malika and today I had a sweet desert(Chè) from Diep, my Vietnamese neighbor.
I helped Malika with her heater and her computer and I created a blog and taught Diep how to use it. Diep is moving out soon and I wish my parents are more like him. He is hardly younger (60 years old) but he is very bright and extremely technical in everything he does. When he gives an answer, it is very clear and detailed. I would not have guessed that level of technicality from him when he moved in the building.
People have access to so much information thanks to the Internet but they are too lazy to use it. All they like to do is use Facebook to look at other people!

I went to the ophthalmologist to get a new prescription for contact lenses. I showed him the old prescription I used to buy my new glasses on January 2015. After measuring the lenses, he said: “very strange …The left lens had 1 degree less compared to the prescription (meaning -1 instead of -2)”
I was like “DuH?!?!? Can you double check?”
He checked my eyes and compared his results to previous years’ prescriptions (2 years). He said that I had no astigmatism or very very little; My right eye just needs more time to adjust.
When he put on his own corrections … it was almost near perfection!
I am going back tomorrow to the optician, the one who delivered my new glasses and I will kick his ass! I will stick to this weird but extremely good doctor.

A zit inside my right eyebrow disappeared this morning. It burst out by itself. I was really annoyed by this tiny thing over a full year. It was tiny and invisible but why was it there for so long? A doctor tried to give me some antibotics to remove it unsuccessfully because it was under the layer of the inside of the eye.
I was planning on getting it removed by the ophthalmologist on April 27. Good that it is now gone! goooooooooone!

I could not figured out why my pretty 4K TV is playing sound on both of the internal and external speakers. Few days ago, I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the external speakers. I only wanted to hear the sound from the external speakers since they are a 5-surround system speaker with a kick ass subwoofer for the bass.
The answer was found today only, a full year after I bought the TV … The sound cord was simply just not fully plugged in. Therefore the sound was divided between the 2 speakers hence the buzzing sound also. I am glad I figured it out because it was annoying me for a while now.
