the 'sui' day

guess what? i got myself into a car accident today while driving to school..here the story goes.....
i left my hse at 7.25am with kp at the front passenger seat and ange behind her. the journey smooth until we reached yeap chor ee road(on the way up the bukit) pressing the accelerator on the way up the bukit, i suddenly saw the car in front, an innova, stop abruptly(according to kp, he stopped suddenly because he wanted to change to the left lane without putting signal)seeing the brake lights, i stepped the brake down constantly as i thought I'm still quite far from him but as y car kept going to the front, i decided to press the brake down with full force already. i managed to stop the car but the car behind me, a Chevrolet aveo couldn't stop in time and PANG!(it was loud) terus bang into the back of my car. smoke started coming out of his(saw the smoke from my centre mirror) i was like OMG, what am i supposed to do?! with my hands all trembling, reached out for my handphone and tried to call my father..at first, i was so nervous that i called his office number(he was not even there yet because it was early) then i called my house and he picked up the phone..i tried to sound calm but u know lah, how to be calm in such situation..while waiting for his arrival, the Chevrolet driver came to talk to me' "sorry, sorry..i couldn't brake in time," he said. "let's settle it ourselves and claim from insurance," he added. i was so scared to talk to him then i said "uncle, can wait for my father to come ar?" he said he would wait..then while i was talking to the uncle, the innova driver has driven his car to the side and was waving to me, asking me to go there..as i was talking to the Chevrolet uncle, i didn't care about him cos' i thought that he would wait but mana tau he drove off after a while...damn him! later, the uncle and i drove to the side..he knocked his mouth onto the steering and bled a little ..his wife's fingernail broke and bled too..luckily their little boy was sleeping without the seatbelt and did not face any injuries..thank god! if the little boy was awake and sitting in the centre, he would be thrown out of the car..then, my friend, li yun, recognised my car at once and together with her two guy friends, stopped to accompany us..her friend, xiang yih asked me'" your car no airbag meh?" wah, if the airbag were to be released, this shows that it would have been a very major accident.. after a while, my father came and he settled the whole thing for me..kp, ange and i followed li yun to inti..how nice of them to wait for us..thanks alot xiang yih!

thinking of what happen while ah yeap was teaching, i couldn't even concentrate and don't know a single thing he was saying. but one thing for sure, i was not sleepy for the whole day in my classes..i was thinking of what my father would say to me later..i should have prepared myself for his lecture. on the way from inti, he was trying to explain to me what happened..he kept saying, "next time when you drive, you must always be aware of the cars beside you" in a kinda high tone..then i started crying quietly because i thought it was all mistake..but he wasn't blaming me, he said that it may be the innova driver's fault but we are the ones who kena tanggung rugi besar...now i kinda blur whose mistake is it? the Chevrolet driver is definitely at fault but was i at fault too? my front was dented badly but i couldn't remember that i bang into the innova..by the way, the innova did not face serious problems as innova is a very high car..

kp and ange had headaches after that cos' of the impact..i was not affected physically at all, probably it's because i was aware of what was happening.. MALANG MEMANG TIDAK BERBAU! i think my relatives are going to ask e what happen in the next few days and i would have to repeat the story over and over again..maybe i should just say NO COMMENT.. haihz..later sure got 'discussion' about this matter with my parents again..ergh, i hope i won't cry..my dad lodged a police report but i wasn't sure it was under whose name..I'm not dare to ask him..if it's under my name, then my driving license would be suspended because according to the nonsensical law, P drivers cannot afford to get into a single accident! CRAP!

my mum took some pics of my badly hit car..i'll try to upload it next time..my car will have to be in the mechanics hospital for 2 weeks or more..haih..my dad sure won't trust me fully in driving d...

seriously...actually in ah yeap's class oso i din hear any thing he said. i just copied whatever entered my ears without analysing them..coz i was so dizzy + my headache summore + the incident, everything made me so restless. i even almost skipped ms suba's class! haha.
dun be sad ler...everyone learns from mistake(even though this might not be one)...according to my dad, ''accident is not something you want.''so, dun have to be so depressed!
dun worry, be happy=)

hey Mich.. i hope everything's okay by now. Don't worry about the incident..it's the past now. Sometimes our parents tend to talk louder when they are concerned or worried, so don't be too upset about it. Everyone makes mistakes - even grown ups! - like that Innova guy that stopped abruptly (what an idiot!) - and the car behind you that couldn't bring his car to a halt in time (but good thing he, on the other hand, was a gentleman, a little credit for him). This proves that even adults aren't competent drivers, so don't feel bad about what happened.Everything's gonna be okay. Chill. Smile. =)
