Mishap

It costs me 240 ringgit today to repair the damage on my Waja. The damage is small but the cost to repair, cement and repaint it is quite heavy on the pocket especially for a pensioner who receives a meagre amount of retirement allowance every month. Unexpected spending like this will definately disrupts your monthly tight budget commitments.
The mishap happened yesterday while I was negotiating a narrow bend to enter Tabung Haji parking area in Sik. I swerved the car too much to the left not knowing that there is a one-foot-high concrete kerb on that side. We heard the awful screeching sound as the lower part of the car grazed the concrete kerb. The graze caused a one-foot long dent and scratches, missing the door lower edge by just a quarter of an inch. Who's to blame? Blame yourself for being so careless.
Although all proper precautions have been observed mishap could still happen. Kita sekadar merancang, Allah yang menentukan.
As we grow older our ability to focus or concentrate is slowly reduced.
Mood definately influences your way of driving. Don't drive when you are angry. This is important if you are a passenger talk nice to the driver, don't make him angry.

  4. Well, as the saying goes...acciddents do happen. And syukur Alhamdulillah, its only the car. Driving 101 - a discussion about differences in opinion is best kept aside when your're at the wheels ;-)
