Monday blues?

Today morning after work i will be sending my car for accident repair again.... my car will slightly more than year...had resprayed more than 3 times liao....so sad...

Anyway to share with you more on the accident..last thursday evening was sending Meiyan to class, was traveling from PIE(Jurong) towards city....somewhere near bukit timah plaza....the car in front suddenly stop...and i manage to brake in time too..but from behind, i saw a honda civic still coming in at high speed....and guess what he brake too late....and crashed into my rear bumper....luckily no one was injured.

i was gan chiong liao...quickly got out of car and inspected the damages, there was some slight dents on the rear bumper and nothing else..the damage on the honda civic was minimum too...slight scatches on his front bumper and number plate..

the driver quickly offered compensation for the damages....and ask me to quote him a figure...i could not give him the quote as i am not sure how much is the damages...and further more i need to settle down abit before i can access the damages again...i told him i will contact him again.

he gave me his hp number which i called immediately...seeing him checked his hp...i asked him if he got my number...and he mentioned he did....thus not to hold up the massive jam on PIE....i quickly rushed off without taking down his particulars.(big mistake!!)

after sending meiyan to school, i re-inspected the damages...i realised the bumper had drop a little; leaveing a small gap between the tail lights and bumper. The boot also also suffered a dent on the left bottom...

i tried calling the honda civic uncle again...but the hp was off!!! then thoughts starting running through my mind...what if that idiot gave me a false number!! what am i supposed to do?? And that night alone, i tried calling him at least 20 times and even left sms for him....but he never replied....

fri morning, i went to IDAC(taman jurong) to report the accident, the guy took some pictures of the damages and help me write the incident report... i was asked to go to their authorised workshop to do the repairs...and i can cliam from honda civic using his car plate no...finally i felt relived.

then i went to the nearby workshop at jurong port road...it turn out that the i may have problem claiming against the idiot if he does not own up and admit its his mistake...many complications may araised...and the workshop said he will only do the repairs if i will to foot the bill if they cannot claim against the idiot....anyway feeling lousy...i agreed to it since the damages was not that much..just treat it a lesson learnt....so i will make appointment with the workshop again to do the repairs...thinking most likely to do it next week..

then feeling very low...i went for quick lunch and brought some 4D....while on the way home...the honda IDIOT finally called me!!!!!! he gave excuses that he was busy the whole night and handphone was off!! what the f(%^$*!!!! i was thinking how to survive in today singapore with handphone off?????

anyway he told me not to cliam against his insurance...he wan to protect his NCB blar blar blar....etc... he told me to go down his workshop at sim ming to do up the repairs..... so i quickly rush down to the mentioned workshop..i thought his workshop should be veri cheap thats why he want me to go his workshop.

after accessing the damages....the workshop guy told me that he will replace a new bumper and boot for me!!! i was shocked!! what the $%#^&@..... how cheap can that be if to replace everything to new??? then i told him to do panel beating, patch back with putty and respray back will be fine for me.... i told him that if i want to cliam big time...i will claim whole bodykit liao!!! pity that uncle abit lah...but i still insisted to have a replacement car during the term of repairs...he mentioned will take two days...(my workshop can do it in one day!! but who cares...since ppl paying for me)

so later at 930am i will go to sim ming for the repairs...and looking forward to the replacement ride!! hopefully what ride i will be given...

so moral of story!!!! if happen in accident, take down name, IC of driver, take pictures of both cars and the drivers pics if possible!!!!!!! if got witness even better!!!!!

i guess i am abit long winded hor....ai ya....need to fill up the page mah!!

Cheers
Shun
