Where I jot down stuff

On the way to fetch Aum from her office yesterday's evening, I got involved in yet another accident. Not again! All because of the stupid "uncle" motorcyclist decided to stop for no reason in the middle of the road. "I dunno why my motorcycle all of a sudden just stopped", he said. Yeah right! I was following this one Kelisa (from quite some distant away) that was behind the motorcycle. So the moment the motorcyclist did his "emergency brake stunt", the Kelisa had to go into a sudden stop, and unfortunately for me (yet again), due to the slippery road surface from the earlier rain, my safe distance was no longer safe. So, bang! I crashed onto the back of the Kelisa. Oh shit! I had just been telling some colleagues about how many times my car had had been involved in accidents, and it now it happened again!! arghhH! Let's recall all the incidents:

1. In 2000, three months after I bought my budget Wira car, I crashed onto an Iraqian's car on Jln Ampang, also due to some stupid driver making an emergency brake in front of him. This was a serious one.

2. Then, not long after that I hit the back bumper of a police car. It costed me RM20 as compensation to the policeman - well, that was all he asked for, I guess duit kopi.

3. I was reversing at a parking lot in Setiawangsa and I hit the back of a parked van.

4. I parked my car under a tree during a hot afternoon in Taman Desa, and a few hours later when I returned, one of the tree branches broke and fell onto the front side panel of my car. Very strange, no wind, no rain, yet the branch broke.

5. While I was coming down the sloppy road from Bukit Antarabangsa turning into Jln Ulu Kelang, a car in front of me that was making the same turning, stopped all of a sudden and I crashed onto its back.

6. I was driving along Jln Ampang towards KL when a lorry coming in from one of the junctions and crashed onto the left front panel of my car.

7. When I was stopping at a traffic light on Jln Yap Kwan Seng, a man under drug influence driving a GTI came from the side, in between the two lanes and hit the right side of my car just above the back bumper.

8. Again on Jln Yap Kwan Seng, I was stopping at the same spot in 7 when a drunken driver came from behind and almost crashed onto the back of my car. In actual fact he did touch a bit. No damage, but very close.

9. While I was stuck in a traffic jam on Jln Segambut, an Indon man driving an Iswara behind me forgot to pull his hand brake while busy looking for his mobile hands free kit and hit my back bumper. Not a bad one. But, then again you can never rely on Wira's bumper. I was so mad that I asked him to pay me for the damage on the spot. But he never did.

10. As I was about to make an illegal turning in front of my office, I decided to make a short reverse to avoid a moving car on the main road. It was a total stupidity. Without looking behind, I ended up reversing into a colleague's cherokee jeep. You can imagine what it did to my back bumper.

11. Again on Jln Ampang - I was driving towards KL and Honda City came from behind and badly crashed the back of my car. It was a pretty bad one. It was dark and raining. So I guess I can't quite put all the blame on him.

12. What just happened yesterday.

All happened in the past 5 years. Is it a sign to tell me that I should replace my car. But no money lah. So how?

Take a look at the condition of my Wira now. Not a very bad damage. But, I've yet to see the extent underneath the bonnet.
