Dugaan on a Friday morning :(

Yesterday Friday morning, I was thinking either to take the bus or driving to work. There was a "BERSIH" activity going on in KL and I was expecting a bad traffic on that day. If I took the bus, then chances were I would be back late as usually the bus would be delayed due to the bad traffic (my bus on Friday eve is like always late :P) But if I was driving... at least I could go back earlier (not depending on the bus timetable) but had to endure the bad traffic.... hmmm... dilemma, dilemma.. :P Since I did not feel like waiting for the bus... I decided to drive instead. Along the way to work, punya la berdoa agar segala perkerjaan dipermudahkan on that day. Alhamdulillah... traffic was not as bad as I expected. No road-block or anything all the way to Jalan Duta. Lotsa cars as always.... cars were bumpers-to-bumpers, but the flow is moving smoothly (not so slow) to KL. I was stepping on the brake once in a while (which is normal lah kan considering KL's trafic!) when suddenly the car behind me bumped into my cute myvi's bumper!! Kuat pulak tu!!! Gila punya terkezut!! The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard that loud crash was "what the...??? Adoiiii.... kenapa la langgar kereta aku at this time!!! Aduss... camana nak explain kat Mr Hubby nih?!!" Btw, Mr Hubby was in Pekan, Pahang... so lagi lah tension nak kena handle this problem alone kan! :P

I came out of my car and quickly went to see the damage at the back of my car.... oh god.....quite teruk lah :( Camana nih?? We were considering to sell that car! Infact, pagi tu sepatutnya ada one car dealer nak datang tenguk kereta tu at my office to be valued! Abiss... dah jadi macam ni pulak... gile punya frustrating :(  I saw the amoi whose car bumped into mine came out to see the damage on her car while busy talking on the phone. Kereta dia lagi parah la kan... a Toyota Vios - engine depan definitely out! The first thing that came out from her mouth when she came to see me was "Sorry aaa... I tak sengaja langgar". Yeah... understood... nama pun accident kan :( Tapi hati masih pedih... huhu! I got her details info and she got mine. She said she need to call her dad to ask what to do.... ohh... anak bapak rupanya! Okay lah... she called her dad... and I called my Mr Hubby :P A policeman came and instructed us to move our car to the emergency lane (we were on the fast lane). Gila punya kerja gak nak move my car from the fast lane, crossing the other 2 lanes over to the emergency lane during this busy hour! But someone helped out to jaga the traffic while I moved my car. The Vios car cannot start... so the policeman and that someone helped tolak kereta tu ke tepi.  That 'someone' semestinya ada sebab membantu... later, he offered his 'card' - 'akak saya ada workshop dekat jer..." Huhu! Cepat jer mengoffer diri :P The traffic was getting worst after our accident  as most people would slow down to see what happened (typical kay-poh-che Malaysians... huhu!). So while the amoi sibuk liaising with the policeman and calling her dad... I took this pic.... and sent to Mr Hubby.

Urghh....  my beloved RH122 remuk... and so is my heart! :( Headache!! Banyak agenda tergendala akibat accident nih :(


But alhamdulillah.... bahagian depan masih cantik.... fuh!


The amoi's car.... lagi parah! And Jalan Duta semakin jem as most drivers slowed down to see the damaged cars.


A few ulat2 workshop stopped by and approached us... but the Chinese girl insisted to wait for her dad. She said her dad is an insurance agent and he would know what to do. Since I wanted her to pay for the damage of my car.... I told them that I would wait for her dad as well! :P While waiting, I saw my 'bus' lalu.... the driver, Mr Tina recognized me and honed while doing hand signal like asking 'what happened?'. Aiyoo... so embarrassing lah. Everybody in the bus saw me :P I even received some calls and SMSes from friends and colleague who saw my car tersadai kat Jalan Duta tu... adoiii.... mmg la embarrassing! :P Meanwhile, Jalan Duta sudah jem giler panjang and the same policeman sudah bising suruh kami take our cars to a workshop fast and just get out of the road... hoho! He said Jalan Duta is a VVIP route... Agung and all other VVIPs use this route.... so the policemen was just doing his duty to make sure the Jalan Duta road would be in smooth flow. A few mins later, a tow track came... apparently sent by the girl's dad. So her car had to be tow and the girl and I just get into my car and I followed the tow truck to the workshop that her dad wanted us to go. Yes, my little Myvi masih boleh jalan... but due the bumper yang sudah kemek and agak terperesuk ke dalam... when I was driving ada bunyi2 yg kureng menarik - bumper sudah bergisir dengan tayar daaa... Sakit sungguh telinga ini mendengarnya!! :P But I had to bear the sound all the way from Jalan Duta to Selayang where this workshop is located!

The amoi's car on a tow truck :P


The girl's dad met us there at the workshop. He came to me and apologized for the inconvenienced that his daughter has caused me. Yeah.... that is so true... very inconvenience as I had to take Emergency Leaves on that day to handle this problem that her daughter caused me :P

At the workshop - the amoi's dad (tengah cekak pinggang pakai speck!) with the workshop owner (in blue shirt - apparently the dad and workshop owner are buddies!) and amoi's brother (depan kereta) inspecting the damage of amoi's car.


Zubair - one of the workshop staff - did something to the bumper so that the bumper and tyre tak bergeser lagi.... we need to drive this car to the Bandaraya Police Station to make report.


Later the workshop staff brought us to go to KL Bandaraya Police Station. Made report there and later mengadap seorang Sarjan yang menentukan siapa salah and siapa kena bayar saman (obviously the girl - not me! She was fined RM300).

KL Bandaraya Police Station - belakang bus stand Klang... near Petaling Street.




After that kena pulak pergi a car parking where a policeman took pictures of the damage at our cars.... aiyooo... so long la the procedure... and it was a very, very hot day!!! Sangat2 letih! ;(  Selesai semua ni... the workshop staff sent me and the girl home - me at Lucky Hill and the girl in Country Homes Rawang. Thanks god they sent me home! Otherwise, I would have stranded in KL until petang... dunno how to go home :P By that time, it was already 1pm :( Oh yeah.... I was already tired *sigh!* :P

This morning, Mr Hubby and I had to go to the workshop again to submit our insurance policy and some other documents before they can proceed to repair the car. I was informed that they will claimed from my insurance company first... then only my insurance company would claim from the amoi's insurance company. But alhamdulillah, my NCD would not be deducted... phew!! The bad news is.... it would take AT LEAST 10 working days after approval from my insurance company to get my RH122 cantik again! Aiyoo... terasa kaki patah sebelah bila satu kereta masuk workshop :( Amoiiiii.... pesal la kau langgar kereta aku!!!! :P Sedih!! Sungguhlah dugaan.... :(

Apa2 pun tonite, I am going to BOLLYWOOD!!! With or without car!!! :P Thank you so much to my friend, Nani who offered to fetch me at KTM Subang Jaya and we would be going to Bollywood together!!! Woohoo.... can't wait to distress myself tonite with the girls!!

English Drama 2012 @ TKC

This is the last English Drama competition performed by the Kurshians at Bukit Merbah. Izzaty took part in this drama... tapi tak berlakun pun.... just playing her flute for a scene... a sad scene apparently... so she played a sad song lah :) Her first flute performance in TKC! :) I did not go and watch this special event... Lucky Hill to Seremban is not near you know :P

But alhamdulillah.... a friend who happened to teach English in TKC was kind enough to post this picture of Izzaty at my FB wall :) Thanks Jun!!! :) Mama so happy!! :)

Playing a sad song for a sad scene 

Of course her team did not win.... first former kan... susah le nak menang... huhu! Anyway, congratulations to the 4th formers who won the overall competition!

You know your kids watch too much cartoon when...

Now that we are bibikless, I have less time to teach Izzat for school revision or doing homework :( Yesterday, I left him alone to do his homework while I was cooking 'ikan terubuk masin (lebih2 dari Sarawak aritu.. hehe!) masak lomak with pineapple'... bila jenguk dia after that.... these are what I saw!! :P



What can I say?? Nak marah pun tak jadi sebab tenguk gambar tu cute pulak ~ lol! He is sooo into SpongeBob SquarePant, Phineas and Ferb and The Fairly OddParents!! Hmphh... kena control nih... kalau tak lagi teruk laaa exam result nanti... aritu pun dah teruk... huhu! Mama migraine pikir nih.... !!! :P

ohhh OH!!! :)

Since March, the frequency of our visit to Bukit Merbah has been reduced from weekly to fortnightly :) Alhamdulillah, my princess is adjusting nicely and getting herself busy to avoid being homesick, alhamdulillah :) During our visit, I would bring some food and we would 'picnic' at the canteen or anywhere in the college compound as she is not allowed to go out :( But last week, for the first time in 2012, the girls were allowed to go out for OH (Outing Harian). They can go out at 11am and be back in college by 6pm. Sangat seronok lah mereka! Untunglah! (Ni tiru trend teenagers sekarang :) I dunno la why teenagers nowadays suka guna word nih... 'untunglah!' :P)

Izzaty was so excited to go OH.... asyik call tanya "apa plan OH nanti Ma?". "Mama, jom la tenguk wayang citer Hunger Game OH nanti!". "Mama datang pukul berapa?". "Kita nak pegi mana OH nanti Ma?".


Mula2 tu nak jugak layan tenguk wayang... tapi bila check online... cerita2 yang nak ditenguk is either tak ditayang kat Seremban or time tak sesuai. Hmmphh.... Seremban is not so big... where to go meh??

We ended up makan kat Pizza Hut, Seremban 2 jer... huhu!

Adik enjoying his mushroom soup... :) The kids wanted to eat pepperoni pizza whilst the parents opt for Seafood Olio :) 


Mama and Kak Long :) See pinggan mama sudah licin... muahaha! :))

Supposed, my parents-in-law from Melaka would join us at Seremban2 later.... but somehow, Atuk terus drive to Bukit Merbah and waited for us at Izzaty's school. So we had to cut her OH short... by 2pm sudah back in school to meet Atuk and Nenek :) Sorry ye Zaty... dapat OH sekejap ajer.... but it's okay... next week kan Zaty nak balik OB (Outing Bermalam)... lagi best kan? :)))

Lupa nak bergambar with Atuk and Nenek!! :((

Izzaty was excited showing me her new name tag. She was kind enough to order one for mama.. hehe :D Thanks Kak Long... loves you ♥

The advantage of coming back early from OH... Izzaty got the chance to finish her homework. She did her homework at the college's surau while ayah resting before our journey home :)

Am taking 1/2 day leave next Friday to pick Izzaty up for her OB :) Can't wait!! :))
