Near Miss

Near Miss

I stopped at Puncak Alam-Bukit Jelutong Highway intersection waiting for the traffic light to turn green again when I glanced thru from my side mirror and noticed one one red Kenari, again Kenari not Ferrari darting towards my car at a very high speed (approximately 100 - 120 km/h).

Before I could do anything, I heard screeching sound from the Kenari, braking hard but towards my direction. The preceeding seconds seems like years. I was hoping that this Kenari could stop in time (before hitting me) as if he hit me, I believed that it will create "domino effect" kinda thing. He managed to stop the car just in time. After that, he can't drive anymore.

Moral of the story:
1. Stay away from Kenari.
2. Unless you are Micheal Schumacher, or at least Juan Pablo Montoya, and you don't drive a Ferrari, please restrict your speed to the national speed limit. Speed kills.

Stand by your man

Stand By Your Man

I just wondering whether you would stand by your man?



Sometimes it's hard
To be a woman
Giving all your love
To just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin' things
That you don't understand
But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard
To understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms
To cling to
And something warm
To come to
When the nights are cold
And lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world
You love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world
You love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Motorist

Malaysian Motorists

Scenario 1

I was tailgating (within safe limit off course) this Perodua Kenari along Puncak Alam Highway when I noticed the rear type of this machine was almost flattened. As a "pemandu berhemah", I tried to notify the driver of the danger he's going to face. I myself was quite worried as it might affect me as well.

I started to give high beam to him followed by winding down my window and tried to gave him sign languages (of which I'm not sure whether it was the correct one...). Instead of slowing down his car to check for any problems, this man sped up. Barely a km away, I saw from a far that he made emergency stop and when I passed by, I saw that the rear tyre was totally damaged. Luckily, nothing happened to that couple.

Scenario 2

I went to my in-law's house yesterday night to pay a visit to my mother-in-law. He stay in an apartment and as usual the parking rules are strict. Parking bays reserved for visitors are at the end of the apartment building and quite a walking distance to the elevator lobby. So I decided to send my Anis and kids to the lobby first before proceeding to park my car.

There was a dark Ford Escape in front of my car and I stopped when he stopped his car. Out of sudden, he reversed his car and 'Bangggg'... he hit a concrete pillar next to his parking bay. Out from that car was a burly man mumbling something towards my car. Being a "pemandu berhemah", I wind down my car window and said sorry to him (for what reason? I don't know. It's not my fault anyway).

Later I met him to say sorry (again) for the incident. He later told me that I was too near, so he had difficulties to estimate the angle (ohhh man... what an excuse). To me, it's just another case of "Tidak pandai menari, di katakan nya lantai tinggi rendah" - err... betul ker macam tuh...
