out of battery o.O

The day before yesterday, Tuesday, when my aunt and I were rushing to go to work, we found that her Kancil car couldn't give response after she pressed the black "alarm button". Then, she used the key to open the door. Normally, if we use "alarm button" to lock the car, then we use key to open the door, it will trigger its alarm. However, no sound could be heard. After that.... OMG~! the car couldn't be started....

Only then, discovered that the car was out of battery =.=" my aunt didn't realise that she switched on the spot light yesterday night! In the rush, she walked fast to the nearby BP station to call for help. Then, a quite old man drove his car came and helped us to start the engine. For this service, she paid him RM12... so expensive huh?
We thought the period of time which we used to reached the working place ~>stockist about 20 minutes was enough to recharge the battery. It's wrong. She couldn't start the engine again. After that... haha.. we didn't scare of this though. Why? erm..it's because below our stockist (first floor?) there is a car workshop and the boss is kind too. He helped my aunt to start the engine Free Of Charge ^^ He told us that the car battery was 100% used so have to recharge by engine started for about 2 to 3 hours...haha

This is not the first time my aunt don't realise she switched on the light of the car =.="
If my father is there at that time, she didn't need to pay RM12. hehe^^
