CRV story...

Just got back from Kelantan for my youngest sister engagement. Congrats to Makdik & Boy on your engagement. Hopefully both of you will sail the ship together forever thru good and bad times. And for us, our journey back home this time was not a lucky one and was spoiled by that pakcik Nazaria.. Really spoiled our mood!

Papa's car was rammed from back by the Nazaria which was driven by a lousy Nazaria driver! Ada ke patut, dah tahu nak travel malam and some more long distance, dia amik ubat SELSEMA! Hey, who is your doc who prescribed that medicine?. Ubat Selsema clearly meant for rest & sleep. And normally there's a sticker on the medicine pack written with " Do Not Drive After Taking This Medicine, can cause sleepiness and drowsy!"

So here's the story...
We started our journey fresh and early on last Saturday morning at 3.45am. Hubby slept early that nite as good as 8.15pm just to make sure he's fresh and energetic to drive for good 6-8 hours to reach home. Kids and i were longing for this trip too.. As we approached Felda Chiku 3 Gua Musang around 8am, and kids just woke up from their sleep, Ilham asking for me to brought her to my lap from her seat. So i took her on my lap. Meanwhile Iman was released from her seat for some kind of light exercise just to ensure that she's not that tired from seating all the way from KL...She did some exercise and brought back herself to her seat unbuckled!

2 cars in front of us slowed down their cars and we did too. Suddenly papa was shouting Kereta tu kereta tu while his eyes was staring directly into the back mirror and i started to hold Ilham closest to my body and.... Dummmmm.... a loud bang landed on our CRV boot. Oh Damn It! Luckily Iman and Ilham are safe. Papa handled the steering with excellent - no skidding or anything and Bibik was protecting Iman with her hands so that she's stayed on her seat. Alhamdulillah.

Right after papa slowed down and stopped by roadside, i grabbed ilham and got out from the car and straight went to the Nazaria and spontaneously shouted to the driver " Pakcik tak reti nak break kereta ke?" My face was red and i was really mad. The wife came out and said this to me "dia ngantuk dia, dia makan ubat selsema..".. DAMN again! Makan ubat selsema and drive is equally like driving with alcohol effect.

To cut short, look at the photo below for the damage done by that sleepy driver.
















So moral of the story, please think about others too while driving esp on the long journey. We took all the precautions needed but someone else gives us that big trouble. Sudah tersurat kot!

To conclude, that pakcik was fine with RM300 saman and we'll get 3rd party Insurance Claimed! and we are handicapped this week with only one car left. The CRV was sent to Kah's Repair Center for extensive repairs and we hope that we get it back as good as before. We ask the Repair Center to change a whole new set of the bonnet flip, bumpers and sides skirting.
