7am – Cyberjaya…
OK… here goes…
- 2nd day morning shift; not as lazy as the 1st day
- drove the car at “usual” speed from Puchong to Cyberjaya.
- after a few kilometers in Cyberjaya area, came to a conner where a Waja stalled in the middle of the road (refer pic no. 3, I was from the road on the right).
- press brake hard (yes, people will say that don’t press brake hard, drop gear, etc., but you can’t think/do all that if all of a sudden there is a car blocking your way), the car lost control towards the palm tree (pic no. 3). Swung steering wheel to right, the car turns and saw small tree from the passenger side window, hit the road divider, landed on the other side of the road, saw Jerry’s car (Gen.2 in pic no. 3) passed by from driver side window after landed just a few seconds.
- Alhamdulillah that Jerry not a few seconds early or my car landed on his car or he hit the back of my car.
- got out from car and a man from Gen.2 that also almost hit my car asked me if I’m okay… thank you very much.
- Jerry also came towards me and asked the same question… at 1st didn’t recognize him… thanks man… sorry if my “flying” car shock you.
- tried to reverse the car to the side of the road, but failed, something wrong with the drive shaft – if you look at all pictures (except no. 3), front tire on the left was in turned position but not front tire on the right.
- 2 police cars came to redirect the traffic and one of the police officer asked me, was it Waja or ghost that I tried to avoid…
- towed the car to IPD Sepang to file a report (for insurance claim) and then towed back to Puchong to a workshop that the tow truck driver know near to my house (need food and sleep).
- Sent home by one of the mechanic.
Post accident (31-July-2007):
- neck and back still hurt (yeah, Mu’aaz still ill and need more cuddling for him to sleep).
- still no replacement for the small tree that I ran into.
- drive slower at conner (you never know what’s wait you).
- drive slower on wet road.
- driving slower car now.
- look out for flying car(s) if driving in Cyberjaya.
- thanks to all that care – to The Queen, I’m okay and Mu’aaz was not in the car at that time… only his car seat. Can’t imagine if Mu’aaz was in the car
But I never drove the “usual” speed if Mu’aaz in the car. - thanking Allah that I’m still alive – never forget to recite “Doa naik kenderaan” (Supplication for travel):
English translation:
How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (journey @ transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny.
wassalam.
