2 nights ago, Kevin was fetching me and while we were waiting for the traffic light to turn green, we spotted an auntie who forgot to switch off her car headlights. She got out from her car and tee teet, locked her car door. We were laughing at her. I remember Kevin saying, " She not so blunder gua. Takkan so pro car no alarm meh." Then I said, " GG liao lo. " We were observing the car hoping that the auntie will realised that her headlights were still on. Then suddenly we witnessed something extraordinary (to us). It happened right in front of our naked eye. The headlights just switched off by itself. We got stunned. Then i started to talk nonsense, " Woah this kind of technology only pro car got issit? If it is on every car then there no need for us to switch off the headlights liao." Kevin added, " Woah never knew got so pro technology."DUN LAUGH AT US. I KNOW WE SOUND LIKE BIRD BRAIN!!!
If the headlight control was in the ON position 
when turning off the engine and got out of the car, then the headlights remained on and in some cars there is no warning sound.
The AUTO mode on the headlight control (see photo) is designed to avoid people from leaving the headlights on after their car engine is off. In AUTO mode, the headlights automatically go on when the car engine is turned on and you either release the brake or you drive the car out of carpark.
I personally think an ON/OFF option would be sufficient. With both an ON and AUTO mode is too confusing. If the headlight switch to ON, the headlights turn off automatically when the car engine is turned off and the driver's door is opened. The headlights turn back on automatically when the car engine is started. Then there's no need to worry about dead battery the next morning.
Too bad my car didn't have the AUTO mode. If not i would have tried it on my own. Those who have the AUTO mode please try and let me know. =P

For those who don't know what a pantiliner is, please refer to the photo above.
If you need a description, according to wikipedia, a pantiliner is an absorbent piece of material used for feminine hygiene. (In some localities, it is spelled "pantyliner" or called a "panty shield"). It is worn in the gusset of a woman's knickers. Some uses include: absorbency for daily vaginal discharge, light menstrual flow, tampon backup, post-intercourse discharge and slight urine leaks.
Pantiliners are related to sanitary napkins in their basic construction - but are usually much thinner and often narrower than pads. As a result they absorb much less liquid than pads - making them ideal for light discharge and everyday cleanliness, but generally unsuitable for menstrual flow or medium to heavy incontinence.
Pantiliners are found in an assortment of sizes, shapes, scents and portability options, ranging from tiny, compact liners to long, protective liners designed for heavy vaginal discharge and light days (light menstrual flow). There are even styles designed to fit with thong underwear.
Disposable pantilers are made with a sticky adhesive on the back of the pad to hold them in place in the knickers, and some styles have 'wings' which wrap around the knickers, providing additional stability.
Reusable cloth pantiliners come in a variety of sizes, materials, patterns, colours, and absorbancies, and are usually secured to the underwear by wrap-around wings that snap together at the ends. Some pantiliners are washable. These are made of cotton (often organic), and can be washed and reused for years.
Now let me tell you the story of how a pantiliner end up in my room. I was as usual sitting in front of my computer rotting. Suddenly there were thunder storm and heavy rain. The wind were blowing so strong that i could hear my neighbour's door slamming. Then suddenly i heard something. I heard something flapping with aggressive wings. I turned to my right and saw an exhausted pantiliner lying on the floor. ARGHHH!!!! my first reaction. Then i calmed down and thought of the brightest solution ever. I screamed, " MOMMY!!!" My mom came in cursing whoever that abandoned the poor pantiliner. My mom gently took the poor pantiliner and placed it in a basket filled with adoriferous substances.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION ARE STRICTLY FOR OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE ONLY. THOSE WHO FELT OFFENDED AFTER READING THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT OPEN-MINDED ENOUGH.
I've always been wondering why not girls stick two sanitary pads together. By sticking 2 sanitary pads together, they can overcome the problem of overflowing. If you stick them on top of each other, you get a thicker sanitary pad. If you stick them side by side, you get a sanitary pad with double wings. Wheee!!!! I know it sound ridiculous and i think nobody tried it before. Why not give it a try? I've had this discussion with some girls but they didn't manage to convince me why it doesn't work. Can someone please convince me ?
