The curious incident of the accident

Music: Glenn Frey- The One You Love Mood: Relieved

"Your sista just called to say she's in an accident!" Said my mum in an alarming voice after I opened my door to a series of rushing knocks.

I didn't think much but to get dressed simply and rushed out of the house after waiting for dad to speed back from TaiChi in Bangsar. After much argument as a result of getting on the wrong route, it took us more than 30 mins to get to Damansara, the LDP highway opposite The Curve.

There were three cars involved: the first idiot, a new black Saga, (kononnya a lady driver -__-) slowed down suddenly, forcing the 2nd car, an ancient grey Arrow- back Saga to stopped as well, then resulting my sis's bf to punch on the break. You see, what happens is when you wanna break and the old tyres don't want to, akibatnya kemalangan berlaku.






The front two cars got off without much damage, but the best part? We just sold sis's black Wira two days before...and yes, that's my car you are looking at.

Oh, here's an even better part, mum found out that the insurance that she bought will only cover the possessing owner of this car, which is SIN KIT HWA sahaja, I ended up being the driver who caused the accident in order to claim the damn insurance.

Luckily we have a really smart Malay fella from the car tolling company who helped us through everything. He was beside me in the police station the whole time, chatting up with all the polices like they are his close buddies and helped the front desk sergeant with our essay report.


"ah moi pakai kereta apa?"
"Wira hijau…"
"No wonder lah, kereta Proton…"
I laughed nervously at his joke. Heh.

Then we approached another sergeant in a closed up office for another report.

"accident tu dekat mana?"
"LDP highway dekat The Curve dan IKEA,"
"lane yang mana? Ada berapa lane?"
"lane pertama, tapi tak ingat ada berapa la,"
Amazingly, he turned his flat screen monitor to us, then googled onto google Earth.

"dekat sini kah?"
I nodded and pointed at the first lane from the google earth's bird eye view. (Google Earth weiiii...I'm pretty impressed at this point.)

"so aku perlu bayar berapa ya?" I asked stupidly.
"leng lui belanja kalian makan malam aje laaa~!" a fat one joked from a desk behind me.

I laughed nervously again. Heh.

"aiyo, lama tak ade leng lui masuk sini, jom yamcha sama-sama laa~!" another one joked.

Heh. -__-

"where are you staying?" a sergeant spoke to me in CHINESE. I was stunned for a second, then answered him promptly.

"lama tak dengar Ah Hong cakap Bahasa Cina, dia tanya apa??" the sergeant whose interviewing me asked curiously.

"Tanya ah moi tinggal dekat mana lah," Sergeant Hong answered.
"Tengoklah,tanya tinggal mana baru guna secret code!" joked the sergeant.

As if road accidents are the most cases that happen here, he eventually stamped a statement that says 'Kemalangan akibat kecuaian memandu' onto my report.
"Ingat kami yaaa~!" the fat sergeant waved to me before I left the office.

I'm so darn lucky to have the toll company guy to accompany me the whole time, I would have freaked out otherwise.

After settling almost everything, we reached home at nearly 10pm. Of course not without nagging to the accident causer on our journey home.

There goes my 2nd post about car accident. (here's a link to the first post, in case you wanna compare the damages of both cars -_-

What a day, what an experience.

Guess who i interviewed??

Music: none Mood: watching 24 season 4 last episode

You wouldn’t believe whom I interviewed two days ago.

Recognize this fella?



You bet, that’s Astro on Demand’s spokesperson and that picture was his latest appearance on Mother’s Day promotion package.

Can’t recall? How bout this ad?


Bingo! The pirated DVD guy!

And I’m rather surprised that he’s even a year my junior~

He’s pretty much the same on screen and in person, voice-wise and big-sized, he even has that fringe-flipping-with- pinky feat, exactly what he did on-screen. Oh yes, his name’s Brendan.

Well he got lost finding my office, went to the wrong building and eventually reached 20 mins late. Bringing him into the office was like a walk down the Hollywood red carpet. There’s a wide-eyed guy examining him at the waiting area, then we got nearly half the office’s atmosphere down to a murmur and weird freezing actions when we walked past cubicles.

You want his details? :P

His SPM results are 7788, started off his career as a technician in Tan Chong Motors. He sounded really comical and ah beng-ish during the interview.

Me: ‘Why didn’t you complete your Diploma in Car Technician?’

Brendan: ‘I finished the course, but did not go for the 2-year apprenticeship, that’s why I didn’t get my cert.’

Me: ‘what’s the reason?’

Brendan: ‘My skin ah, when I touch the grease will become very itchy. *scratches his hands* I cannot tahan 2 years, that’s why I left lor.’

After that, he worked with his father as an assistant site supervisor at the site’s canteen/ store.

Brendan: ‘Actually the place that I need to supervise is something like a mini market, I tok to a lot of foreign workers because they will go to the shop to buy food.’

Me: ‘Why did you left?’

Brendan: ‘The site’s in the middle of the jungle, very boring-lah hehe.’

Then after a few part- time jobs as a sales assistant, he completed a Diploma in hair styling and worked as a ‘Stylish’ (that’s what’s written in his CV) in Miko and QQ Cut.

Me: ‘why a sudden change of career direction from a technician to a hair stylist?’

Brendan: ‘I still young mah, can try different things hehe.’

After that he was a marketing exec at an online company, promoting services to handphone dealers mostly.

Me: ‘why did you left in less than a year?’

Brendan: ‘The Company like cheating people like dat, the customers cannot download a lot of things. Then when I ask my boss, he said ‘this is marketing tactic~!’ Wah, it’s like pyramid scheme like dat. I dun wan to continue cheat people, so I left loh.’


After that he went for a casting then started working as a freelance spokesperson for Astro last year.

Me: ‘please be reminded that you can’t have a part time job if you are working in a Bank.’

Brendan: ‘Ooo really ar…*thought for awhile* actually some advertisement was being shot d but haven’t come out yet.’

The interview went on for around 30 mins, then ushering him out was another strut down Kodak Theatre Red Carpet.

‘So, how’s your pirated DVD guy?’ a colleague chuckled.

Hmm, I guess he'll come in handy during Annual Dinners. ^^

To Dear Friend: 加油!

Music: Kenny G- Fly me to the moon Mood: fat >.<

Dear Ying, I feel really guilty to confess that I've not been to any of your gigs YET, always missing them by the day >.<

The least I can do is to update myself through the media, eyeing for both your names to appear in the papers everyday.

At least I know you've attended the charity auction at Sungei Wang last Saturday night ( around 8pm right? I was there at 2pm pulak >.<):



And will be one of the performers and hopeful nominees in the upcoming 娱协奖 in November:



I'm proud of you! *huggzz*
