accidents have no smell...

recently i had a car crash.. my first ever... i can't believe this is actually the first one that i've had considering how i drive....

on a serious note.... the crash was mainly due to human error... i have to say, i dont know what i was doing while i was driving... i think, I THINK i was thinking too much about some work related stufff...

but anyhow, i'd like to share with you guys on tips on what-to-do when u've experienced something like that.....

in my situation....
1. turn on the hazard lights...
2. park at the side of the road....
3. determine if the car is still driveable or not... how?? check for steam and funny sound.
4. call your insurance guy....
5. speak with the 'victim'..... and apologise and give options.
6. take some photos
7. options are..... to settle, no police report, you pay him/her the damage..... or if its a big case like mine.... report police... get a 300RM fine...
8. lastly... lastly... tell mom... coz it doesn't help if u have someone screaming on the other end of the tele and yelling at you....


in my case, i was driving approx. 50km/h... crashed into the lady in-front of me... who was pregnant, (maybe 10weeks or so)....

photos refer fb..

since my car my car is old (more than 5 yrs old), i think u might have to pay 35% of the repair cost...... just had a call from USJ car express that it cost 15k to repair with all new parts...
but if u r gonna repair it with old parts, no cost.....

geez... 15k?? my car is only 20+k right now...

the best that man can get.....really?


i've been playing and watching so much tennis these days it's not funny...

most recently, the season ending ATP masters cup in shanghai produced some outstanding tennis.... there were the usual suspects around, like roger and novak, the new dudes like gilles simon and tsongo... and also the last minute call ups like.... like the one time ex-lover of martina hingis, radek stepanek......


undoubtedly, the headlines that flooded the tennis scene was the anouncement of mr rafa's withdrawal from the masters cup... fatigues and injuries were the main cause of his absent...


one of the match that i manage to catch was the murray-federer match, which saw roger's quest for another season ending master cup end.........


3 setter, 4 hour game.... it was a really close one, ... after a long game, roger lost, 4th defeat in 6 games against murray....... temporary blip?? hiccup??...


i'm a roger fan that has to admit that he's definately losing his touch which saw him claims ridiculous amount of grand slams and titles .......


maybe it's the curse of the gilllete endorsement....


hendry... not really showing the catalonians why he was purchased with that price tag....

tiger .... he's still good... very good when he plays.... but he isn't right now with a knee injury

and roger??? lost his no.1 spot since 2002?? 2003??, unsuccessful in defending his wimbledon crown... and only a couple of titles this year...not really the roger that we have come to know.


maybe it's time to change to phillip shave.....

seconds before disaster.....


dont really know what happen with the photo arrangements but i'm sure u'll figure out which one came after which....
due to some technical issues, i had to push the CRV at that rev and also becoz i think honda said that i could get the max hp @ around that rpm,
so thats what i did......
n the next thing i know, the fan belt snapped........
so what happened after that was the the battery lights came out.. so the car battery was not charging, water pump exploded, and the power steeering hydraulics went to sleep,
so with all the GT i've been playing at home, it helped saved my life
parked at the side, felt like rubens barrichello and button for a few minutes with their unreliable honda..
made some calls, got a tow truck for free and fix it...
the lesson learnt?? dont buy hondas...
and also, speed doesn't kill, a sudden halt does... (top gear dude)....

the esso tanker thought i'd ran out of fuel and was kind enough to offer some produk bermutu...
and the first photo is just a stupid photo of what happens when the wifey is not around n i dont do the laundry enough, work shoes with sport socks.

we're GUNNER kill the devil..


with all the recent media attention focusing towards the US presidential election, it's easy to forget that Arsenal and Man united are playing this weekend.....


for a very very.... very long time, i feel that Arsenal is the clear underdog this time around....

i've watched many man u-arsenal epics, from the days where bergkamp playing along wrighty, and pallister was having so much trouble running becoz he was so fat ... to the more recent encounters like the henry-barthez goal, or giggs crazy run from 1/2 way line to score in extra time, or the battle of the pizza ... you name it and i've watched it...


without a doubt, tomorrow's encounter would definately be one of those times where man u starts as clear favourites... with C.ronaldo getting back to his form that saw him hit 42 goals last season and rooney scoring like 8 in his 10 last games and berbatov showing fergie that zola was NOT the best foreign player when he did that super turn that made the west ham defender look like a school boy..... you get the point, everyone is playing well... fit... no major injury concerns.....


arsenal on the other hand... hmmmphh... not good... 3 games without A win, major injury crisis with manu adebayor out, theo Walcott and gallas rated at 50-50 chance to start....... and almunia hopefully has overcome his cirit birit..


you wouldn't think that arsenal stand a chance rite, would you??


but having said all those nonesense stuff...., being the underdog, bla bla bla... u'd think that when the odds r against them... they might still have a chance.... a big MIGHT...... why??


analyse the games that they've lost... fulham, stoke and hull.... they didn't really wanna play football, did they?? as the famous words of mourinho....'they came with the bus, and parked it in front of the goal'..... (something like that).... man u will try to play football at the emirates....


how will this be good for the gunners? we all know about arsenal's counter attack, add that with the laziness of C.ronaldo tracking back to defend as well as the wing backs going up and not coming back to defend, it does provide more room for the gunners to play...


more room... more play....more creativity... more chances... more goals....


so whats gonna happen??? arsenal 4-1........ v.Persie, denilson, nasri, ferdinand og...... rooney..



(silvestre gave me a tip that its gonna be 4-1 or 4-0.. hope its not 2-2..)

Sarah's a PAIN in the bum..


just in: with the republicans conceding defeat after one of the longest and eventful presidential campaign, one must look and evaluate the defeat, find the scapegoat........
and the No.1 reason??


sarah palin... real pain in the bum... with recent statements like 'the palin-mccain campaign will bla bla bla'.... ??


also... what about her outfit controversy??


oh well... its a lost battle... its all done, finally... i guess the closest that John McCain will come to forming a cabinet is when he gets to IKEA...


i hope KL-DC relations will grow better...
