Winter Village

Last night, I went out with my work colleagues; Ka Hjh Radiah, Watie, Anis, Shidah & her fiance Amir to the Empire Hotel & Country Club to see the Winter Village that they created and snap some pics of Mr Santa Claus, Mrs Claus, Santa's sleigh, make believe snow man and the huge Christmas tree made up of monkey teddy bears in the hotel lobby. I believe that the Winter Village will be opened until the 26th of December if anyone is interested to check it out. We spent over an hour there before heading out to Hj Saban's famous soto place in Tungku for dinner of tungking and bbq chicken. It was a fun evening indeed! Below are some piccies! :)

My rant: Worst day ever!

Today has got to be one of the worst day ever.

I was involved in a little road accident through no fault of mine at all! Oh my shiny new car! Erghh..

That was the first ever road accident that I experienced while I was behind the wheels. Here's the story.

So right after work today, I was on my way to Kota Batu to send my cousins home. Mom was there to accompany me since I am not very familiar yet with the roads in that area. When we were in Bandar stopping at the traffic lights near Sg Kianggeh (next to the Bolkiah cinema) while waiting to turn left to go over the bridge, a white car ran through the red lights from the road heading straight to the bridge. By that time, our lights had turned green, and so this black car in front of us sped up and nearly collided with the white car from before. We didn't think much of it, so we just turned left to go over the bridge and was then on our way behind the white and black cars.

I think the driver from the black car was pissed off with the white car and we can clearly see him tailing the white car closely from behind. He was provoking the white car in front of him as well as trying to take over the white car from the left! (Mind you, there is only 1 lane for each direction of the road) This continued on until we reached the Kota batu area (I kept a safe distance from the 2 cars ahead of me all this time), when the black car made a signal to the left and entered a simpang while honking the white car in front. We can clearly see this from behind. We thought that this will be the end of it. How wrong!

The white car ahead of us was provoked and immediately braked his car and made a fast straight reverse to get back to the black car in the simpang (without turning around) heading to our direction right behind him and crashed into my car!! Stupid stupid stupid driver! Inda kan nda tepikir nada kerita lain di belakang ah, sampai telanggar kerita orang lain! Jalan utama jua tu!

While the white car was speeding in reverse to our direction, I was so confused at first at what he was trying to do. I thought he was trying to reverse to the side of the road, but noooo, directly dapan keritaku di belakangnya! At that time, mom was so tekajut and tried to tell me to reverse to avoid the impending collision but in my confusion, I can only brake and blast out my horn but it was too late!

The driver from the previous black car turun ke bawah, and the driver from the white car turun from his car and durang bekelahi tangah-tangah jalan raya. Apakan!? Bida jua eh, mun kan bekalahi jangan sampai orang innocent yang lain di jalan raya menjadi mangsa! Astah.

The wife of the white car driver ran to us to apologise and said that they did not see us at the back and ask why we did not horn them in warning. Astah, nda kan nda tepikir atu jalan raya, banyak pemandu nya. Nda jua ku sampat kan menghorn-horn lagi tu. Rasa marah ku jua bila ia tanya cematu. I got out of my car with mom and cousins pasal we were in shock and inspected the damage. Thank goodness there are no dents on my front bumpers or any broken lights, ganya ngingis saja on a small area of kereta ku di dapan kirinya atu. Bekumpul tarus kerita orang lain meliat kami tangah-tangah jalan, so ahirnya we moved the car to the road side to prevent traffic.

I called my dad to help me with the 'discussion' and to make the story short, the 2 drivers made up (kereta durang nada papa, keritaku yang tekana *masih bitter hehe*) and we are in agreement that the white car driver will pay for any damages or repairs needed to my car nanti. But still, my shiny new car sudah ada ngingis, sasak ku eh. Hopefully once berepair, it will be good as new.

So to other road users, road rage can only cause harm to other people. Ani tah lagi kami membawa kanak-kanak dalam kerita, baik jua nda papa, nyawa bah tu! Yang pentingnya, kami semua selamat tadi. Baik jua nda ku report ke polis. Yang calinya dua-dua lagi kerajanya polis yang bekelahi tadi ani. Apa sudah jadi lah! Please respect all road users! Use the road wisely!

*** Feels good to rant. Please take note, I am a very patient person and is very seldom angry but this is inexcusable! There.

Roger and out! http://www.emocutez.com

Ismah's Baby Shower

My friend Ismah recently gave birth to an adorable baby girl on the 25th of October. If you do remember from one of my earlier posts, I was part of the G club which comprises of Ismah, Jalwaa, Sa'dy, Ayun & Ziqah back in high school, lol, and by high school, I meant Maktab Sains. The 6 of us have been friends since Form 1 (in 1998) and have been in contact over the years. So Ismah was the first of the group to get married and now the first to have a baby. To Khalid & Ismah, congratulations! :)

Today we were invited to Ismah's baby shower at her family residence in Sg. Besar. Baby Aesyah and the happy parents wore matching green outfits for the occasion. Our other MS friends were also there to attend the baby shower. Below are some piccies from today! :)

Swing that Racket I say!

As part of my unconscious effort to exercise (see earlier post), I decided to join Rahmat, Nabilah, Shing & her brother, Ayun & her siblings to play badminton last Tuesday at the Centrepoint Hotel. I did not realise that there are badminton courts in the hotel until Rahmat introduced it to us. The courts are on the 7th floor of the hotel and rental fee of 1 court is $10 per hour. We played for 2 hours before ahem, Nab and I headed to Coffee Bean to take away the ice blended DOUBLE chocolate drink. Yum! There goes the exercise down the drain, lol. :P

Walk the Talk

Holla! :)

I'm in the mood to make some changes to my blog and hence you can see the result again! :) Can you believe that it is December already? I don't remember if I have reached any of my new year resolutions which I have to admit that I have forgotten all about. But keeping up with traditions, it is time to think of new ones for year 2011 again, but that will only be revealed in another future post.

I decided to do some digging on some of my older posts and tadaa!! You can see what my main resolutions are this year here hehe. As you can see, I managed to achieve my resolution of getting a good job (Yay!) while my performance on the whole wanting-to-lose-weight resolution is pretty questionable hahaha. The thing is, I am pretty content with how I am although medically speaking I do have to lose some weight for my own future benefit. Something to think about on another day. Well, just to show that I am making some effort to "lose weight", I recently went hiking with some of my work colleagues at Tasek. It's a good bonding experience while exercising my stiff muscles which has been sleeping for months, yes, it is that bad! Hehe.
