My first accident - 19-Jan-06

Accident: 19-Jan-06 7.30PM
Was driving up MSCP, at level 2A turning to level 3 at the slope, at 2nd gear half clutch, my hand itchy go and call my papa to inform him that I have reached... So leh, unable to control icyboi and he kissed the beautiful wall leaving a kiss diamond blue color mark on it... At that time, I didn't know the damage cause still driving leh... So I reverse abit and notice another car was behind but I didn't kanjong la... As per normal, engage 1st gear & turn, went up smoothly. Nothing happened. Reach level 3A and stop at the side. Get down & check my bumper.. Wa lan eh... BIG DENT ah... Bloody hell...

Lesson: Carpark speed limit is 15km/hr, it sets that way for a purpose not for play... Can only say I super careless, super slow in reaction... Fail ah...

Being first time car owner, being excited and urge to drive is one thing... What I have learn is that don't think that you can handle it... There's always a possibility that you as a driver will lost control... Unless you drive for more than 5 years, provided WITH correct driving techniques...

Yes, from my point of view, people say it's MSCP design's fault but think again, why so many people didn't buang but me??? Simple, I misjudge. I'm given the P-plate for a purpose too... NEW DRIVER.. Beware...

Damage: $200+ for removing BIG DENT & spray 2 pieces for scratches
Petrol to go down workshop
Make my family/friends worried about me
Time wasted waiting for things to solve
No car for 1 day
Hurt icyboi
AND MANY MORE that cannot be seen

Birth of icyboi - After 7 days of waiting : 14-Jan-06

NRIC: SGC36**E

My icyboi gives birth at 12PM exactly... Within this speed, I believe I can see my icyboi on 21st-Jan without fail... Yeah Yeah...

Handed the payment for insurance... 1.5k... *FAINT*

6th day of waiting - 13-Jan-05 - Friday the 13th

Updated @ 11.09AM:

My dealer called to ask me to photocopy front & back of my licence required for the insurance... Yeah... Meaning he's working on it... :D

----------------------

LTA called in response to my enquires of NRIC... They assure me that they don't on hold NRIC. They process the registration on the spot, returning the NRIC & documents back to dealer, etc...

So leh, I asked about my status. And he found no records meaning my dealer haven't register for me yet... Ah.... 20th is getting near.. very near...

5th day of waiting

Today is the 5th day that I have handed my IC & downpayment... I'm praying that they can give me my plate number today...

No intention to pay for my insurance without them giving me my icyboi's NRIC... hehehe...

Raining non-stop, hope I won't skid, will drive super slow as I need to get use to icyboi leh...

Complain LTA

To whom it may concern,

I understand that handing owner's NRIC to LTA is a standard procedure for registering the car. But I discover that I need my NRIC for security issues & driving licence is not allow for entry. Please advice whether there's a better solution as what I was told is that without NRIC is an offence. Thanks.

Zenn

Don't you hate

Don't You Hate...

... being the only one caught speeding when you were just going as fast as everyone else.

... getting into the "Exact Change Only" lane and ending up behind a guy who finds he hasn't got the exact change.

... when something happens the day after you let your comprehensive insurance expire.

... the nauseating smell of gasoline that wafts forward to tell you that they've over-filled your tank again.

... "One Way" and "No Turn" signs that take you miles out of your way. ... bumpers that are higher than yours.

... repair shops that always have to order the part you desperately need. ... finally getting into that moving lane only to find that it abruptly stops ... and your old one moves from then on.

... a convertible top that invariably fails to operate whenever there's a sudden cloudburst.

... lending your car to someone ... and after it's returned, the engine makes a strange sound you've never heard before.

... car radios that fade out at critical moments.

... finding a vacant space where you parked your car.

... strange noises that always disappear the minute you take your new car back to the dealer ... and re-appear again right after you leave.

... having to go to the bathroom on one of those new treeless, bushless, exitless super-highways.

... hearing the unmistakable sound of a failing engine when you're right smack in the middle of the worst section of town.

... people who carelessly track whatever they stepped into right into your brand new car.

... know-it-all mechanics who insist that it's perfectly okay to do exactly the opposite - or use other parts - than what the manufacturer of your car specifically recommends.

... people who let kids eat in your new car.

... two cars that take up three parking spaces.

... glimpsing your car keys in the ignition just as you're slamming the locked car door.

... getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere when you're dressed to the hilt.

... lending someone your car with a full tank of gas - and having it returned with exactly two drops left.

... your new car's air conditioner that conks out during the first heat wave.

... reminding you of how the heater conked out during the first cold wave.

... being trapped between two huge trucks ... and having to go miles beyond your turn-off.

... forgetting where you parked your car in a 10,000 car parking lot. ... finding a strange new puddle in your garage.

... gas station attendants who act like they're doing you the biggest favor in the world when they finally get to you.

... returning to your car the next morning just as the last faint glimmer of light fades from your headlights.
