It’s been a hectic month. Our new abode is finally ready. We had a house warming ceremony and during the run up to the occasion, I managed get involved in a small accident which damaged my mother’s car. And foolishly, I forgot to exchange forms. So, couldn’t really claim for an insurance. Anyway, the car had some cosmetic dents and I decided to correct it myself. I ordered suction dent puller from eBay, a few cans of metallic wine red paint and some emery paper. I followed the instructions and managed to pull a couple of dents. I rubbed some emery paper to the damaged parts and sprayed the paint on to it and I managed to ruin the paint….

Although it was supposed to be a similar shade as that of the car, the difference in paint was clearly visible signalling the end of my DIY days… Moral: If you have a dent on your car, take it to a professional to set it right.
