It was my Lunar Calendar Birthday on 2/20/2010. I woke up late after 9am. It was a little unusual for me to have been still on bed after 8am. It would normally only mean I was either sick or exhausted.
When I was ready to start my Latio engine to have the kids ready for the weekend schooling, it was almost 11am. And I did not yet done the routine household chores of cleaning the toilets and mopping the floor. When the little one bathing, I slipped with my whisper that he did not need to go for the saturday math class. He overjoyed but soon I found I made a wrong promise and so demanded and insisted it would be a normal class for him. He cried due to the broken promise. I insisted and he did not compromise but sobbing for sometimes.
I manage to calm soon after and he seem agreed to take on his bag preparing for his class. It would be normal for us to have brunch before the elder goes for the 2-hour computer class at 12pm and the little one for math class at 1pm.
After sending the elder, we went to the shop and planned to have the little one went for the class at 12.35pm and so reaching there before 1pm. I was having a drinks with a friend before I was rang informing that the Latio had been knocked at the rear bumper at the junction not far away from the shop. I dashed to the scene as it was only 1-minute running distance.
It was fortunate that the bumper only dislodged with some paint-off without serious damage. However, the negotiation of having compensation was not so pleasant as the middle-age lady insisted that she did not know it would have emergency brake with the green traffic light. I demand compensation of RM300 but she refused claiming that she would only pay for the bumper repair, but not the cost of re-painting. I argued with her although RM300 was not really sufficient to have the repair properly done. I should have changed the entire bumper to original new one instead of agreeing for a repair. Why would I agree as it was not my fault to have the bumper being knocked off. I already step back of agreeing for non standard repair...
Yet, she argued but her mother agreed to pay later.
Indeed, all these were done through phone as we let her drove off with her promise that she would compensate. At the time of this blog, I still yet to receive the compensation although her mother (over the phone) agreed to settle for this sum. I would wait.
And so I had the two cars numbers for Magnum4D and damacai. At 8pm, when I checked, her car number came out as special prize winning although shuffle the 4 digits.
It is my birthday today with a late woke up, minor car accident and winning a small sum from special prize from Damacai.
