My Saturday

Mmmm... Saturday... a time to sleep in? Guess not, not this Saturday... I woke up 'early' again, to get the car into the mechanic. It took him from 9am till 4pm to fix 2 Engine mounts for $140. (6 hours, if 1 hour for lunch... equivalent to $23/hr. Of course, the parts would've been a bit, so the labour cost would be much less. But then, he had about 5 other cars as well... so yeah, a car mechanic is always busy and probably earning not bad prices. Except you'll be up to your shoulders in grease, so its not a fun job. Anyways, last nite I started a download, it finished 10 hours later. It took 2 hours to convert it into SVCD, and about 10 mins to add chinese subtitles to it. 3 Mins to burn. And it'll be watched in 1 hour (1 hour 9 minutes and 38 seconds to be exact...). Isn't that sad... :P But it sure beats paying $1x for a ticket in the cinema. Heh :P Last nite there was 'Die Hard with a Vengence'.. but didn't watch it... hmmmmm I was too tired...
