Sorry for sighing and grumbling at the very beginning of this entry, let me explain why.
This very morning, MFF had arranged with friends to try fish at one of the Permas Jaya pay pond and of course, shop for more tackle. Unfortunately, we crashed our car on the way.
Yes, you heard right. We crashed our car at the bend of a slip road linking 2 expressways. It rained heavily last night but the rain had stopped by the time we set off. The good weather gave us a false sense of security and we did not take the slipperiness of the still wet road into consideration. So, the car skidded in the middle of the bend with the front crashing into the metal railings on one side, followed by a 180 degrees spin to hit the opposite railing at the back.
We have every reason to be thankful. First and foremost, neither of us were hurt. We weren't going at very fast speed so though the cosmetic damage (from the car scraping the metal railings) was great, there was no damage to the chassis or the passengers. Very importantly too, there were no vehicles behind us so no others were involved in this accident. Thank goodness!
Well, as we were quoted mucho bucks for the repair, we decided to scrap the car straight away and get a new one. And herein come the other reason for all that sighing - we will have to give up certain plans to go fishing in the next couple of months.
Why, you ask? Well, Kia cars are apparently selling so well we will have to wait till October for the shipment. With that, our plans to drive up to Malaysia have just gone down the drain because - NO CAR. So there goes our September Sibu Kelong trip and October Pekan Sailfish trip.
Sob sob... :(
