back with a bang! literally.

this is my car!


notice something wrong?




not yet?


see that little fracture?



hmmm...




i got into an accident la!



BANG!


and my rear bumper is spoilt!

i'm felt more when i first hit the pillar with the left side of my car. maybe cause that one is really caused by my stupidity and this one, it's really not my fault (but could had been avoided) and i don't have to pay for the damages.
was on the way to my samsam's house warming. it was raining. i was talking. when i turned to look at the front i saw the amber lights. so i braked. it was kinda hard, but still normal. some people always brake so late.
then when i finally stopped, there was a bang and my two other friends and i were pushed forward so much that i've already travelled half the distance that you normally have between your head and the steerling wheel in a normal driving position.
i don't know why but i knew straight away it was a bang at the back. i knew it even before the car came back to rest. maybe cause i had that same kind of knock at the back while playing go-kart before.
i was angry.
got off the car and walked to the car behind me.
but the car behind me was so much more badly damaged than mine. and the driver didn't get down. all my anger suddenly went away and the first question that i asked the other driver was if he's alright.
stopped by the side and exchanged details. actually, more of like he took my details, cause i wasnt insured. then he said if i'm not then i wouldn't need his details anyway. he said he'll take mine and he'll call his insurance company and the insurance company will contact me.
LUCKILY HE'S FOR REAL. DIDN'T TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY INEXPERIENCE OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT.
he's actually quite a nice guy. he called me like almost an hour after the accident to tell me that he had already reported it to his insurance company. gave me the claim number. recommended me to get at least a third-party insurance, and repeatedly told me that he's sorry, right from the start of the accident.
aiyah, my blog is so boring.
i know this might sound very wrong but i'm actually very happy to have my first real accident. nobody injured. only the cars. the person made a real report. i can claim from his insurance company. the only bad thing is that my car's value has depreciated again.
yea, as i said, happy for the experience. at least my driving experience is complete now!


i just love the irony of this picture. yea... the place to be... would be dead if i was the car plate.

p/s it wasnt until i reached samsam's house that i realised that my car was actually pushed forward like maybe 10-20 metres cause the walk i took to the car that banged me was quite long. that's why i had so much time to get from being angry to being worried about the driver.
