me and my poor bumper

being my car is alright. i am not a car fanatic, but for the price that you are paying, at least you have to take good care of it. i do, and i don't over do! i maintain it from time to time to keep it in tip top condition.

unfortunately, all cars have bumpers (d'oh). and to be a bumper of my car, it must have a really bad karma from the past, if the bumper has one.

you must be wondering what the hell am i doing blogging at 2:58 in the morning. well, i'm not pissed off. i just gotta accept it.

earlier at about 11:35 pm, after dropping mco at my office - he parked his car at my office - i drove home the usual way. thru the housing area of taman midah, coming out from tesco into the roundabout. i was going out of the roundabout at 12 o'clock, and the traffic light at u-lek just turned red. well, even children know that red means stop! that is just what i did! then... bang!

a sonofabitch knocked me from behind. wtf. we went down to check the damage. he said he couldn't break on time. wtf does he mean? i had even stopped and shifted the gear to neutral. he must have not been concentrating on the fucking road.

he suggested to go down to pandan perdana to meet his friend to determine the cost of the damage. while i was trying to make a call to my friend, he suddenly sped off! wtf!

luckily i manage to get his car number. WJB 2255 it's a proton waja. silver color.

to cut things short, i went down to the police traffic station at jalan tun hs lee to file a police report. found out that it is a company car. O_o hmm... 2255. the sergeant did not reveal which company, but there is one company that provide cars with this number to their employees - sp setia! (will check on this tomoro)

now i'm left with no choice but to wait...and wait and wait... i'm not sure how long. if he did not file a report in the next 24 hours, the police traffic will send a letter to the company requesting them to file a report. and then i'll be able to claim. all these dilly dally will take about 2 to 3 weeks i guess. hopefully can get it settled asap.

this is the third time i had my bumper being bumped into. the first one happened way back in 2004. that morning i was travelling to work when a lady knocked into my back. then she took me for a ride as the police report came out with a neutral result, which simply means both side is not at fault. wtf. she knocked me from behind le.

further investigation revealed that her dad is a policeman. wtf. little napolean ka? anyway, your dad is policeman i don't give a fuck or two. got it settled and claimed her insurance accordingly. that was when i'm driving the clk*.

* cute little kelisa

you can read more about the second one here. the damage was minimal. very very minimal. but... the fucking asshole who had a wife and daughter (probably in secondary school). if, i repeat, if i know that he is my father, i would have killed myself by biting my tongue when i'm still in my mother's womb!

what the fuck is wrong with these people? the first one is a little napolean. the second one is a road bully. and the third one is without sense of responsibility. don't let me find out who you are, and if you are really from sp setia, well, i will find ways to write to the top management! who doesn't know datuk liew kee sin anyway with the current successes achieved by sp setia.

btw, i'm not sad or anything. perhaps just a little bit pissed off. i'm only human. i've decided not to be saddened by things which are out of my control. didn't ajahn brahm said that there are solution to every problem. we just got to find the solution! if there is no solution, then it is a problem we have to learn to live with!

what i'm doing now is to wait for a new bumper! darn. hope this one comes with good karma.

road bully alert!

this is a delayed entry that i posted in the scm forum last month.

yesterday night (29th nov 07) about 10:40 pm, i was waiting for my gf outside my colleague's house in taman midah. it's at the end of jalan midah, near to jalan kilang midah, where there are a lot of factories and office.

so i parked my car outside of my colleague's house, on the opposite side of the road. behind me parked a proton iswara.

i was reading while waiting for my gf and colleauge to come back. in fact, i'm enjoying the comfy and smell of my 6 days old suzie.

when i drive, i even slowed down (and i mean very very slow) when passing a bump, and always maintain at least 2 or 3 cars distance with the car in front when i'm driving.

sudenly, i heard a loud bang. after few seconds, i heard another bang, and my car shook!!!

i got a shock, and got down of my car immediately!! the iswara is pressed against my car's bumper!! i saw a guy coming out from a Nissan Frontier, and i remarked to him that i just got the car. why he want to do that?

he didn't apologise! i repeat, HE DID NOT APOLOGISE!.

in fact, he fck me up, then say the iswara always parked in front of his house, cause him to have no place to park. so he purposely knocked the cars and he don't give a fck even if it is my new car!!

then he just went into his house without bothering me. asking me to report police if i like. he don't care.

but of cos, i stayed there, and get some people over. there were like more than 10 ppl outside his house yesterday night, and eventually he came out.

initially he refused to talk to us also. and said that he purposely knocked wan. he refuse to pay for the damages. he say the iswara always park in front of his house. he got no place to park. but, what does it has got to do with me? in fact, i parked outside my colleague's house!!

besides, that is a public place! what right does he has to say it's his spot?? and then when i check behind his car, still got a lot of spaces there! i think behind him, can park 2 more cars!!!

after much discussion, he agreed to pay an undisclosed sum. becos i was very angry that time, my family don't let me talk. i just keep on checking on my car.

i think if i have no one to call for help, he would not have bothered to come out or pay for the damage.

i called the police station, and they say have to report at jalan tun hs lee there cos is accident.

btw, he has a wife and a daughter. i saw them sitting in the living room. not sure if they are ashamed of the father or not. i think his wife drives the cr-v parked inside the house, with the same number - 6635.

there is a dent in my bumper. and two marks there. 6 DAYS OLD ONLY. kena rogol dy.
