Buffetting : Accident again.

Hold your thoughts, I didn't get involve in one.

My car is safe, as worn out as ever. And I'm safe, the only thing which caused the scratch on my right calf is due to my stupid car's faulty hand break.

Anyway, lets get back to what happened.

I was supposed to turn into the right lane from the junction near SS15 market.

Then you know how irresponsible and desperate people can get in order to eat, dine or have any business in SS15, so double parking is EVERYWHERE.
Blue-mine, Red-Laxus, Yellow-Biker.

And so being small Kembara driver like me, I have had to driver a lil further up to the middle of the incoming lane from the right in order to see if any car is coming.

There was this Laxus coming over, but I know I can make it if I were fast enough and I proceeded.

And the Laxus was kind enough to break, but there's this asshole again.

Motorbike.

Farking motorbike have to cut this guys lane to the right.

I mean seriously, there are cars coming over from the opposite also right? You should never cut the lane. Plus, the Laxus was already taking half of the right lane also, don't they have any brain?

And I ducked, but the bike hit the car, and the whole bumper came off from the right.

I mean theoretically I'm wrong because I should have waited. But don't the motorbike driver bare any responsibility either?

I should have just drove off like anyone else would, but my conscious(fark you conscious) told me to go back.

Negotiation happened and I called the dad.

Didn't turn out well, dad ain't willing to pay because I did not do anything to his car. IF anyone should pay its the bike driver because he banged this guy.

Actually this Laxus guy, malay, seemed to be real nice. It's such a pity he had to meet a driver like me, break his car for him, and got knocked down by the motorcyclist some more.

Officially hate all wantan motorcyclists now.

Yet, something he said also bothered me alot. He said its fine, without reporting to the police and no further actions taken.

Only people who can come back after this to hunt you down is able to say and let something go like that.

Well, I guess I think too much also, because its just my kembara plate number he can remember, and I'm changing it off too. So yea.

Whose fault do you think it was? Mine or the biker? Laxus guy definitely didn't do anything wrong. May he be well and happy always.

Buffetting : Road Block

I guess I've finally had my first road block in my life, by PTDRM.(Polis Trafik Di-Raja Malaysia)

The whole process was really short, it took me around 8 minutes to shut the police up.

I was driving down SS15 to buy lunch for the siblings, and out of nowhere I was asked to stop by the side and the whole prosecution begins.

And the asshole came up to, with a BIG SMILE and started questions:

A: Selamat petang, dik. Boleh saya tengok lesen(license)?

*took out license and passed*

A: Owh mana adik kerja sekarang?

*trying to diverge my attention*

B: Masih belajar lah tuan.

A: Owh, masih P lagi ya?

B: Ya. Sudah nak habis P dah. Kenapa tuan?

A: Owh begini. Kita(supposingly kami, asshole with a sucky BM, his own mother tongue. PFFT) tahan adik kerana adik guna telepon.

*outrageously enraged*

B: Tuan, bila kamu tengok saya pakai telepon?

A: Relaks adik. Kita tadi sudah siasat. Adik memang ada guna telepon.

B: Ok. Saya bagi kamu tengok dulu.

*took out phone and show him record*

B: Tuan, last receive call saya pukul 10.32, last dialed number pukul 10.25, missed call saya put pukul 16.06 SEMALAM. Skrang sudah pukul 12.13, takkan saya bercakap dengan telepon semasa bawa kereta selama 1 jam lebih kan? Tolong check satu kali lagi lah...

*was pretty darned upset, but kept my cool because they had the power*

A called his HQ while I called mine, my dad. Sadly, I had to go through the session all by myself.

A came back with a smiling tone and continued.

A: Dik, masih student kan? Ok, skrang Boss saya cakap bagi student warning saja. Nak mereka jaga sikit kan? Tengok muka adik pun tahu adik budak baik. Ok, boleh pergi skrang.

B: Terima kasih*fake smile and all*.

And I went off for lunch bonanza.

Sadly, the police force in Malaysia still lack efficiency and precision.

I mean, with my phone record everything can't go wrong right? Even if this were to brought up to court, I would have definitely won.

Randomly picking people form the street just to fish up some "duit kopi" from a P-licensed kid?

Hello, I'm not even working la. Worst still, I'm still a STUDENT in a government school man.

Quite surprised on how I managed to handle this with my wits. Fast brainstorming into getting my phone record out to defend myself from being raped by those wolves craving for duit kopi.

PS: Duit kopi is also known as the bribe money given to these policemen in Malaysia for people who got caught for no reasons to get loose from the policeman's grasps.

Haha, guess being a student have its perks at some point XD

KZB on:P license means free-less

Look, every 17 in the country jumps up and down and go "yippeeee" with their new P license but in my family, it means you are the full time on-call driver of your family members.

From "tar-pau"(here meaning take out in canto) food in asia cafe to sending family members to where ever they WISH to go such as badminton classes or offices, the one who holds the license will do all the dirty jobs...

Yes I'm ranting, just get over it~

Plus, you will be constantly expected to be free to fetch the others, wash the car, check the stuffs of the car and be careful at all times to make sure you don't scratch the pretty car >.<

Talk about pretty car, I just came back from Carrefoure!!!!! Ya know the huge super hyper markter in SS15? yeah I was suppose to get some groceries for my aunt to chip up some feast..... And I had to PARK~

I had to park TWICE because of my new P license and the L parking aint easy in the underground sewer scented basement, what's worse is when there are people waiting for you and you panic, and *screaming owh shit owh shit* literally scream for help... Once the fellas behind me get through, the adrenaline went down and my 2nd parking was successful~

Thank goodness... and what I hate worse about driving, no shortcuts or Squeezing through cars like you can in your shoes only... I thought the entrance was the exit and I wasted one freaking big turn just to get to the exit on the other side of the parking lot...*criminy* and the cursing rap starts~~~

Owh my eefing gourd~~~*X100~~~ and the lane-ing, it gets harder when you are new, and the drivers around are freaking mean to not let you pass... another OMEffinGourd!!!!!!!!! but still, manage to reach home safely and end up playing with my dog instead~

I have exactly 14 hours and 22 minutes to enjoy because starting from tomorrow, I will die studying A levels in Taylors and facing JPA's hospital attachment and interviews... Criminy again.. my life is getting haywired~~ Owh yeah, and I'm trying to get a new Laptop and Saxophone, which cost me 3.5K each... shit I am such a spendthrift~~~~~

So people, enjoy your study life then your working life, the other way round and you go cooku like ME~~~

Of Accelerators, Brakes And Clutches 4

Okay, This might be the 2nd last posts on my driving lessons, and gosh I am obsessed to get this posts done by next monday, because I'm having my P License EXAM!!!!!! Tomorrow, 6.30 a.m. I will have to start shivering of fear, because it have been 3 months since I had sat for an exam, again...

But that would be for tomorrow's post, what is interesting was yesterday. Guess what? I went for driving lessons with Yuet and May Zhen. Since MZ was only having her 3rd time, she was with Mr Ting, so me and Yuet the PROs(so to speak) went with ourselves. So we did the basics, Bukitting, 3 Point Turn and also Parking. We both did splendid jobs on those, until yuet got a little panicky and I tagged on panicking.

It was bukitting, and yuet was trying to go down the slope.What was stupid is that she "mati-enjin" meaning the car's engine died off(direct translation) when she was half way going down the slope. As a panicking pair, Yuet was busy restarting while I automatically pulled the Hand BRake.

As result, the 140 kg load pulled down to the gravity with a loud "SHREKKKKKKK" sound when I pulled the hand brake. And Yuet was like, "Ooi!!!! Don't pull lar! I started the engine already!!!" but deaf me who only Obeserve instead of listen ignored. As she released the hand brake, the car started moving freaking fast and I pulled the HBrake again because it was kinda "jam" after the slope cause everyone is doing parking also. And there goes another "SHREKKKKK" session...

So, next was parking. Yuet kinda stumbled and knocked down a "ti-ang" and I had to picked up for her. And that was when she spotted a "leng-chai" behind us. She was happy yet embarassed. We said sorry to the guy with a wave and continued with 3 point turn.

And the whole day, yuet was obssessed in "bumping" into the leng chai, luckily she didn't mean it literally or its De-Ja-Vu for me, referring to *my first accident* to know more..

Later on we went for On-the-road syllabus, which is a migrain coz we need to memorize the route.... nonsense... but anyway... its only gonna be one day, and ader bagi duit kopi sikit so hope can pass with a breeze....

After my P, i will be free and I can hunt down every pastry shop I can find in Subang Jaya and also every Fitness First everyday to "re-build" mua body ~~~ muahahahahaha


and SPM results is near the corner... hope I can score well~

Of Accelerators, Brakes and Clutches + Gear 3

Sounds boring but still, i have to say driving is real tiring, especially, when you are 6 footed squeezed into a kancil, constantly need to compress the clutch and change the gear.. Yes, that would be me*smack head into monitor* why do we have to suffer all these crap??? Ugh.. anyways.. today i dealt with 3 stuffs, which completes my driving syllabus:

A) 3 point turn
B) parking and
C) On the road

Yes, these are basics, thousand times easier than drifting, but look, I sweated like mad in the car!!!

So, I was told to drive all the way from some astray housing area to my circuit, it was a real pain as i need to keep changing the gear, looking out for cars, balancing the freaking clutch and acceltr... my goodness.... This is even worse than the days of me running around in the corridors of Rakuzen... yet I perservered...

I got the hang of signalling by now, its just the gear and balancing.. I still need a few more hours nof practising as I am still confused of when and where to apply them, wish my driving day aint gonna be this bad, if I "mati-enjin" as much as the times i ahve made today, I will be dead.. *hang head with cloth*

Three point turn waa easy in theory, just three simple steps:
A) Enter the rectangular from the leftside, never from the right and then stop.
B) See the arrow, enter it and sgtaring turning when the car reach the 2nd "ti-ang"
C) Brake once you have reach near the "ti-ang" and turn the steering to the left MAX
D) Then change to Reverse gear, and release the clutch SLOWLY, and rest the feet at the brake pad, and watch the car reversing.
E) Same formula, watch for the "ti-ang" and brake once you are close enough.
F)Turn the steering to the right MAX ans release the clutch slowly.
G)Make a u-turn b turning to the left MAX.
H)Once reach the 1st "ti-ang" turn twice full circles to the right and continue driving.

Fine, make it 3-squared steps, but it is ok.. I jujst need to watch for my eyes...

As for parking, I think i still need a LOT more practices... But few simple basic formulas:
A)Drive into the rectangle and make sure the car is alligned with the yellow line.
B)then turn to the >>>Oops<<<

I can only continue this post tomorrow because my sis is flaming now... what to do? my pc crashed!!! somebody help me!!!!

Anyways, exam is next monday!!! this friday another leg cramming session!! wish me luck peeps!

Of Accelarators, Breaks And Clutches 2

Ok peeps, from the title you should know what i went through today again... Yes, driving lesson Part 2 !!!! Today, i hit the circuit again for doing "Bukitting" or literally mountaining. I think this is a must for all Malaysian drivers as it is in the test scope, for foreigners, i have no idea~

What is so tough about driving? It is tough, when you are 6 foot tall and you have to squeeze in a Kancil for a government exam and train for one freaking month. The worse part, your legs are super long and your feet tends to get stuck between the brake pad and accelrator pad... Oh my goodness its like hell in there...

So today it mainly on balancing, as you will need it for the mountaining and turning... so the formula is...:

(A) Once you break pull the hand brake and change to free gear.
(B) Press the clutch to max and change to gear one
(C) Slowly releae the clutch till the whole car start shaking, do not do it too fast or your car will mati-enjin or rather, break down...
(D) Once your car shaking , press the acclerator with the clutch on its released stae and release your hand brake.
(E) Once released, you will move and Tadaa!!!!

That was for moutaining... For turning...

(A) Once you reach teh white line, brake with the steering steered half.
(B) Notice your gear whether it s in one or 2, if 2 change to gear one and pull your hand brake.
(C) Release the clutch till the car shakes and press a little on the accelerator.
(D) Release your handbrake, then release your clutch and accellerator slowly..

And you are done!!! That was the theory, the practical should be a little hard, but i manage to save myself from mati-enjin that much... Confidence!!!!!!!!

Well, my instructor was rather both strict and lineant, but he stressed on the clutch a lot, and that is when i make my mistakes, CLutch, which idiot invented that??????

Ok, today was success, no terror,horror or anything else. Just a little extra sweat on the hand...*wiping hands on the lap* Next lesson on friday, hope I can be better on the road~

PS: Yi Lin said that she doesn't like the pic in previous post, so i will post this one on the Giant and dwarf:
Do whatever I say or its pan cakes for you~
