Accident...oh NO!

What do you need to do when you are involved in the accident ?

1. Take note of the time of the accident

2. Call your vehicle insurance company

3. Call your family members or anyone you think who can help you

4. Write down the car number plate of the other party

5. Get the name and IC no. of the other party

6. Wait for the tow truck...make sure it's the right tow truck. Some maybe just passing by to cari makan.

7. Go to the nearest police station...not those "pondok" type. Your vehicle should be sent there.

8. Make a report at the police station. This is where you do the story telling. You can support this by drawing a diagram on how it happened.

9. Pay a compound - RM300 - only if you are in the wrong.

All the above, takes up your time a lot - three hours or so.

Quick note: Don't get into an accident, by all means.

Another Place to Shop

Where you might ask ? It's AEON Taman Equine!
Free parking ! Hip hip hooray!

I was there today...my first visit. Used the roads from Bandar Kinrara to Puncak Jalil then to Taman Equine! It was left, right, right, left.....confused liao :S

The journey there was really confusing. Got people driving on the wrong side of the road. So look out if you're using that route to this shopping mall.

Two floors of shopping. Lots of food outlets and concept shops - check out www.jusco.com.my for the listing.

Collections Branch

One of the units in the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) at the government buildings in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

The opening hours are from 7.30am to 5.30pm - Mon to Fri.

This morning I had made a trip there for one of my only case before I go to work. For those who had not been there, it works like when you're going to a bank. Take your number and wait for your turn.

I had reached there around 7.25am. No sign of anybody yet, including the officers.

Sat and waited until 7.35am. Finally, the officer I was waiting for arrived. Nice lady though. Ask me to go over to the counter before they call for my turn. Yes...I was the only one there.

Soon, the officers start coming in - with their packets of nasi lemak, mee goreng and teh tarik. People need to eat, you know! If not, no energy to work :D

Bullet Train to Singapore

The other day, on the radio, the announcers were discussing about having a bullet train from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore in just 90 minutes!

Cool lah! I even need to take half an hour from my home to KL city centre....sigh....

Who will be most happy ?
1. My mom
2. The other female homosapiens

For the most obvious reason of being happy ----> SHOPPING

Who will be least happy ?
1. My dad
2. The other male homosapiens (only limited to those who are attached and married)

Finally a project which makes more sense. I still can't understand why do we need a second bridge to Penang Island o.O
