The Day I Kissed My Airbag.........

As I was ranting all the way about the lousy meeting I was made to attend.......I came across the 'End of Days' liked weather along the North-South Highway.......I was travelling from KL back to Penang to be with my feverish son....normal speed on the road (better not disclose)....bad bad weather ahead.....



* Poor visibility.....5pm......slippery road......and a very fast moving car....
.
.
.
.
.
Along a very straight stretch, with no apparent reason.....the front right tyre of my car started to sink a little.....and the next thing I know, I was spinning as thought I was riding the spinning teapot at a funfair....I held on tightly to the steering wheel...awaiting for the impact........BOOMMM......it rammed head on with the side concrete divider.......and that moment, I made out with my airbag......

The story didn't just end there....after the first hit...with the car still spinning......it went for the 2nd head on BANG......and then it halted....I got out of the car....make a count of my legs, hands and head.....saw blood on my arm, checked to make sure my Tag was okay....then...ran to the back of the car to take out the reflector and placed in several metres in front.....
.
.
.

* Accessing the damage there after.......




* Check out the awkward position of the car after the incident........ If someone is in distress or in serious need of help, here in BolehLand aka Malaysia, don't bother dialing 999...I waited for more than an hour after making 2 calls.....no one came.....




* To add salt to the wound of this tax payer, several police cars went by with non willing to stop and lend a hand....




* Towed my car to the nearest Honda Service centre....given an estimated cost of repair mounting over 20k.......




* Luckily I was left with only some light bruises and a sore neck.....




* My car will be in the workshop for the next 2 months.......No more pariah meetings outstation until I get my requirements sorted out with the management.......totally not worth it.....better not travel anymore if my requests are not met.....the logic is very simple now...if you need me outstation, these are my list of request, can't make it, get someone else to do it.....my well-being is way more important than any management meeting or any amount of payment......




* This day will go down in history as "The Day I Kissed My Airbag" aka 受傷的爸爸....... I would be known as one of them who managed to make out with their airbag and live to tell tales about it......Thanks for all the concern calls and well wishes through FB people......"Berhati-hati di Jalan raya....Sekali langgar, bantuan kecemasan semestinya paria"

Goodbye My Old Faithful Charade.......

Everyone will have a story to tell when it is about their first car.....I have quite some fond memories with my first ride.....first of all, it had been reknown for its temperature problem back in school and the early phase of my campus life.....JieFu & JieJie got it fixed......as my birthday present for the coming 5 years......

With the scrapping scheme by Proton & Perodua, Papa has decided to trade in my old Porche for the RM 5k voucher for Mama's new car.......



* The legendary BCB 5556, Daihatsu Charade...1.0 Litre engine, NO ABS, NO Airbag, NO power window, NO Sports Rims......




* My faithful ride had taken me to places around Ipoh (during school days), around Cyberjaya (Uni days), around PJ (training days) and Melacca for a couple of times......I've even seen it making another 100,000km back to 0 once....




* After the overhauled, JieFu was right...it could cruise at 130km/h with the aircon on without any problem........




* My first P sticker, the BOGUS sticker and PW's initial are still there after so long.......




* I would never forget my first car..........Thanks for all the great memories......Happy scrapping...........Life moves on.......I'll say that about my BMW or Mercedes in time to come....JD is back.....YAHOOOOO!!!!!!! Happy Working people.....

Chuck and I.......

I met up with Benny on Friday night for our quarterly review...Basically...dinner & drinks......sharing our point of views on stuff..... "When you are poor, your philosophies are bull....when you are rich, your bulls become philosophies"

Then....Benny started telling me about Chuck Norris.....an american action figure...worshipped like God.....hahahaha Remember this Hero???





Fact 1: If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

Fact 2: There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

Fact 3: When Chuck Norris was denied an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy's.

Fact 4: For some, the left testicle is larger than the right one. For Chuck Norris, each testicle is larger than the other one.

Fact 5: Chuck Norris uses pepper spray to spice up his steaks.

Fact 6: When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes, ever.

Fact 7: Police label anyone attacking Chuck Norris as a Code 45-11.... a suicide.

Fact 8: MacGyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Chuck Norris can roundhouse-kick his head through a wall and take it.

Fact 9: Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

Fact 10: Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Behind every dead man, there is Chuck Norris.


Being alone in Penang could be freaking boring at times.........been cleaning and cleaning and cleaning for so many days now.....I somehow for the first time in my life.....is seriously missing my kid...hehehe....so I gave Papa a call via SKYPE yesterday.....with PW playing the commentator, JD was fast asleep throughout the entire session.....^_^



* The closest I could get......I think the lil fella gained weight......an important day for me tomorrow.....ngek ngek ngek....Enjoy the work week people......Will be going home this coming weekend...YAHOOOOO~~~~

PW's New Car.........

I've been at home all alone for about a week now.....Washing, Cleaning, Wiping, Fixing, Buying...etc......getting ready for PW & JD to return home next weekend......

I've bought a Perodua Kembara for PW....to replace the Kancil that we sold a couple of weeks ago.....With her mileage hardly reaching 2 thousand KM a YEAR, petrol consumption is the least of my concern.....at least this car is more visible and bigger than her old tiny Kancil....



* It comes with a nice set of numbers too...hehehe




* PW said she doesn't feel secure without a car of her own.......ishh ishhh ishhhh.....




* Security that comes with a price.....hahahaha




* With that I conclude my story about PW and her toy......above (PW and her boy )......definitely not a toy........Have a great weekend people....TGIF.....

JD's Day Out........

At last, the long awaited day....JD's day out....It has always been my dream to bring my kid out shopping....that explains the constant shopping trips with MW and MM these couple of years.......I love kids running around....shouting here and there...laughing...sometimes crying...hehehe....



* JD in his pyjamas awaiting for his day out........




* All geared for a trip to Jusco, the acclaimed shopping mall known to all Ipoh folks....the place where his parents started dating....hehehe




* PW and JD......




* Due to the "No Picture" policy at most of the outlets, I only managed to snap one....will try to get more on my next trip.....




* JD is having a bad habit for staying up at night......by saying that I mean from 12am - 7am.......crying and poo-ing in the middle of the night......the pacifier plays an important role in stopping all the midnight dramas.....he is learning new tricks every day.....hehehe.....Have a great week ahead people...
