New Year
New Car
This
shall be the first post for the year 2007. Welcome back and happy
new year! Hope all of you had a good rest over the long weekend.
Some of you might be spending time pampering your babe or your
ride. Well, for me, not much of detailing except washing up the
Accord. I also spent abit of time at Taman Tasik Perdana doing
some photo shooting.
FYI, the workshop informed that the repair work on Iswara is still
not started yet. The B-pillar needs to be replaced (from half-cut
I suppose) and it requires approval from PUSPAKOM/JPJ (whichever).
It's going to be a lengthy process and the car might not be
completely safe to be used. Anyhow, that doesn't matter much as my
parents have booked a brand new Olive Green Myvi. It shall be
delivered next week as it just left the factory on 26th December
2006. Hopefully everything goes on smoothly...and I shall start to
shoot some photos of it.

Imperfection?
A
buddy of mine scuffed his 1 year old black Vios today in
his office car park. The rear door was scuffed against the
pillar. He told me that usually he drives through that
corner easily without sweat but somehow today is an
unlucky day for him. He added that his car is no longer in
perfect condition. This reminds me of being careful all
the time and never take things for granted. The things
which we do could be a routine job, but still it's worth
to put in attention. Of course, nothing is perfect, but by
putting our best effort in doing things will definitely
make a difference.
Will
take a look at his car on the weekend and see if
compounding would help to relieve abit of his pain...

Tribute

Yeah,
though it's just a car, though it's just an Iswara, but
nevertheless there were lots of memories left behind. From
the first day of ownership which was way back in year 2000
(while I was still pursuing my bachelor degree) it never let
me down. It never break down by the roadside and it never
cost alot for maintenance. Enough said, here are some photos
taken in the past (2nd July 2006) for remembrance...

Realisation
Yesterday's
incident made me think alot. I realised that life is not just
about work and play. It's about your relationship with the people
around you, such as your family members, spouse, relatives and
friends. A life wouldn't be meaningful without their existence.
Sometimes they might have done something which offends you. If
it's nothing serious, it's always good to forgive them and never
keep in your heart. It's always too late to realise only after
something happens. Each one of us has to realise it. I may tell
you about it and encourage you to do it but I can't make you
realise it!

Workshop
Visit
Today
I accompanied my dad to settle some document issues at the
workshop which the Iswara was being towed to. The left side
of the car was covered with a large sheet of plastic to
prevent rain from wetting the interior of the car. I managed
to take some close up photos of that poor car.

The
workshop promised to repair the car to as good condition as
possible, which I doubt it would be safe to be driven. The
painter even told me that they use ICI paint, LOL!

Lucky
Escape
It
was about 5:30PM and I just got up into my Vios, almost leaving my
customer's office in KL. Suddenly my dad called me and told me
some car accident happened. At first I thought he was stucked in a
jam which was due to an accident but after talking abit more on
the phone only I found out that he was involved in an accident.

What
happened was, when my dad turned into our neighborhood while the
traffic light was green. Out of a sudden, another Iswara was
speeding like about 80km/h and just hit our Iswara's left side.
There was no sign of brake at all as that bas3rd was beating the
traffic light. Right after the Iswara was banged, it spun 180
degrees, went up the curb and hit the other car which was waiting
at the traffic light. Both left side glasses were broken, rear
tyres were punctured, rear wheels were deformed and the B pillar
collapsed badly.
My
sister was sitting in front, her spectacles and lecture notes flew
out of the window after the glass was shattered. The impact was
really huge. Below are the photos of the bas3rd's Iswara.
Some
brief history about our Iswara. This car is 6 years and 4 months
old. It has never met with any road accident before with careful
use except some minor dents. The paintwork was still in good
condition and the wheel well was as clean as a showroom unit.
Initially I planned to wash, clay, polish and wax this car over
the long weekend. What a waste...the car clocked a mileage of
63,000km yesterday. Anyway, I hope everyone drives carefully
especially during the festive season. There are many red light
beaters these days so WATCH before you go even if the traffic
light turns green. Majority of the Malaysians still have poor
mentality on the road. Lastly, remember this bas3rd who caused
this havoc...
|
Apparently,
that bas3rd was driving extremely fast on that stretch of road
which has 2 traffic lights very near to each other. The first one
could be green and right before he reached the second one (where
accident happens), his phone rang and he was digging out his phone
from his pocket without noticing the traffic light was red. A
small mistake which almost robbed both my dad and sister's life.
Thank God that both of their medical reports show that they are in
good condition, besides some bruises. More photos of the our poor
Iswara...
