Bad day

Yesterday was a bad day for me. On my way home from office, 11pm, i involved with a car accident, near to the Shell station, on route from Dataran Sunway to The Curve. I hit a black Proton Iswara on its back.

Almost immediately, i open my car door and jump out from my car. OMG, my car bumper, left front light and the bonnet were broken while the Proton Iswara has only some scratches on its back bumper. The angry driver get off from his car, seems to cool off after i say sorry and that i will take responsibility on what ever happened to his car. His name is "Monser". I am not sure whether i spell his name correctly. He just got back from UK 2 weeks ago, and is borrowing his cousin car to hang out with friends.

Then suddenly a Chinese man with his walkie-talkie approach us and offer help. Yes, don't be surprise. These people are fast. The moment an accident happened, your will see them arrive on the scene, before any other first responder, like police or ambulance. I explain to him that i have friend who is in the same business as him. He insisted that he wait and see whether he can get the business to fix the Proton Iswara or not.

After making a few calls, my friend's trailer is on its way. Monser contacted his cousin, and she is on her way too. "Dude, you are going no where until my cousin arrive...", he said.

After waited for about half an hour, finally my friend's trailer arrived at the scene. Spent a few minutes to hook my car on the trailer, and we all went to police station at Petaling Jaya to lodge a report. By the way, the owner of the Proton Iswara, is a young and caring girl.

The lodging process surprised me. After the police officer at the counter punch in my details into the computer, he asked me to go to another table with 2 other computers. Guess what? They will give you the report number to log into the system, and ask you to type the details of the incident out yourself!!! And, they have a cardboard with template on how you should type the details.

"PADA 13/07/2007 11.00 MALAM, SAYA MEMANDU KERETA BERNOMBOR .... JENIS PERODUA KELISA ........"

After that the police at the counter will review and make changes as needed to the report and print it out. With the printed report, i was interviewed by a investigator ranked sergeant. Surprise!!!! He uses Google Earth to pin point the exact location of the accident. He asked me a few questions, how many lanes were there ? Where did you learned your driving skills? ( i suppose this is a relevant question???), etc.... Lastly, he said he has gift for me. A summon!!!! :(

After all these thing, it was already 2.30 in the morning.

Despite it is a very bad day for me, but i would like to say thank you to whoever has helped me after the incident. Ah Fai who drive the trailer, Ah Hing (No-12) who help me to lodge the police report, and Ah Fui (my friend) who send me back home at Seri Kembangan, thanks for all the helps rendered!

And Monser, nice meeting you too. I know it is not exactly a pleasant atmosphere we met yesterday, but still, i must say: nice meeting you, and sorry for all the trouble caused, although I'm not so sure why you would suddenly hit the brake so hard!! :)
