My car and i.

Now is a good time to update my blog while waiting for them to replace my aircond. It is makng some highly shrill noise and the damage to me will be RM350. Last week it costed me RM620 to repair my damaged bumper and reflector. I didn't have the heart to make the girl pay for it after seeing how dejected the mom look. The girl was apologising profusely saying that she had brake as hard as she could; which would mean that she might have a faulty brake. Better for her that she crashed into me; a minor damage than be in a major accident later on. I hope this is a lesson for her, although my daughter said i should teach her a lesson by making her pay. Doing so would cause hardship to her family, and being a student she wouldn't have the money to pay for damages to her car and mine. Not to mention the trauma of being in an accident.

Twice i have been in a major accident: watching the passenger of the motorcycle flying over my car and being the driver of a turtled 4WD. It is very traumatising to see someone hurt because of you. Well, i wasnt exactly at fault. The motorcyclist drove too fast. His wife confided in me that this wasnt his first time; my car didnt hit him. His bike hit me. He was ready to stab me with his wife's scissors but was pulled back by the bystanders. This is when having many brothers make one feel safe. No matter, i was really sorry i hurt his wife as she was pregnant at that time. On hindsight, after being trained to identify abusive men, i dare say he falls into that category. I still think of his wife, after more than 35 years since the incident. I hope something good came out of it.

Hmmm doesn't look like my car is ready and it has been more than 1.5 hours.
