1 hr before 19/11/07
I was driving to bukit timah plaza supper area at 2300 hrs for a bday supper when at the turning of kap, i stopped before i could filter left. i edged a bit forward then paused again as the car on the road i was turning into was going quite fast. at the pause, i felt a slight thud behind me. i looked behind and saw this auntie driving this car .. toyota i think.
"oh did i hit u?"
"uhm yes u did. why else would i stop?"
"oh my god. i m so sorry!"
inspects cars..There din seem to be any dents or scratches at first glance but i wanted to make sure.so we agreed to go to the nearest shell station to check it out... "on hindsight she could have just droved off then as i din take down any details"
at the station i tried to find .. but there werent any major scratches or paint dropping off.. her car seemed fine too.. i found a few minor scratches but really couldnt pin point it to her car as it was rather inside (as IF the car had really scratched that area then other areas would have kena too)
she smartly asked me for my license as we made sure we took down both our details.
In between she was really apologetic BUT she tried to influecne me by repeating a lot of times... " u sure that i hit you? there doesnt seem to be any damage. which was true.. and she kept saying "i know i was pretty near ur car.. thank god u moved forward.. " as in trying to influence me that i had indeed moved forward instead of her hitting me....
as she got my license, she said " oh i have a son your age too" ... i was like "F***, do i care? Quit trying to sweet talk me when u r the one at fault" .. but i have to admit she was nice and willing to pay... " If there are any scratches or paint dropping off, i will pay for it. but you cant expect me to pay for those scratches that are probably caused by parking or some other cause." .. I lied to her that my dad normally drives this car and i will let my dad have a look at it before contacting her if needed...
She apologised once more and i went off.
Then something happened that damaged my credibility. As i turned out of the petrol station, i mounted the curb, right in front of her eyes.
She must have been be hoping not to have such a reckless son like me.
Well i suppose 8 pairs of observant eyes under the moon light should be able to point out any damages right...
happy bday xy btw
