B-O-O-M!

6264 met with her match or more like the Goliath - a HUGE one indeed. Bas kilang or what we call a factory bus!

The accident happened at Bulatan Dato' Onn, smack in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. A show stopper indeed, considering it was a weekend and the traffic was heavy in the city center.


Here's the end product of the duel.

The initial outlook was bad... so bad that I thought I got screwed up big time. My heart just sank, considering the car was less than 20 days old! To be honest, I'm just thankful for the outcome, nothing serious happened to me or my sister - and that's all that
matters! THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST!

The front left side was gone - bumper, fender, bonnet, headlight and due to the impact the front right tire came out from the rim and the rim hit the road. But after further checking, it wasn't as bad as what I thought. The car moved smoothly after changing the front right tire with the spare one. The big relieve was all the injury to 6246 was just to the bodyworks and external parts - surprised that the chassis and engine was not affected by the impact.


The whole incident happened because the bus driver said the traffic light on his side "has not changed to red, it was still yellow". How dumb he can be, yellow means be prepared to stop la idiot, not speed faster!

And when I was at the Balai Polis Tun H.S. Lee to do the report, I was praying hard everything will go smoothly... and God send an angel in the form of Rizal. He's someone we refer to as "runner" here. He's from Tanjung Tokong, Penang and he came to help me because of my car registration has Penang identity, how awesome is that? True Penangite spirit indeed! He knew everyone at the police station, so much so, I thought he was running the show there. The IO officer, SJN Mazlan for my case meanwhile was very helpful as well.

Every injury needs to be addressed.

The bus owner tried to bullshit me by giving me another registration number, thank God I managed to jot down the actual number before the bus driver left the accident spot - BAP 7554.

And the whole chapter was closed when the bus owner made the report and the IO office and SJN Mazlan found out the bus has violated it's road tax and insurance requirements - ah, now I know the tactic of the owner. Rizal and SJN Mazlan work out the deal with him and everything was back on track. By 8.30PM, Rizal called me to send my baby to his workshop - all I hope is their workmanship is good and the parts are original. Hopefully, the car will be back to its original state by the end of the week. Let's wait and see y'all!

For now, my mind is back to my last day in AMD tomorrow and the farewell part. I'm going to be emotional, period! The whole week has been a emotional roller coaster ride for me! Bye for now, night people!
