Gmail - nice handling in ULE (was: Re: SCHEDULE and high load situations)
What crap is this that I have to handle. I've got my car into an accident. Initial investigations suggest I was not focused behind the wheel of my car. I was on the highway, following behind a volvo 940Gl, driving around 80-90 kmph. As we were coming down from an elevated part of the road, the volvo suddenly braked, causing me to brake, and i skid and hit his car. Luckily, no one was hurt. Luckily, his car was only scratched and scraped at the back bumper, other than that, his car was fine. Me? I'm okay. My charade though, right front panel, right front and side headlights, grill and hood are wrecked. I had a friend take a look at it, and he estimated, 400-500 bucks to fix that. The next day though, I was still wondering why I skid so far... I checked my tires... all 4 tires were nearly bald. That was why I skid that far. NO GRIP! So I check, that's gonna cost me another 350 bucks to fix. Oh... and not forgetting, paying the volvo guy 400 bucks to settle his car fixing (he's replacing the bumper).. so.. I will be spending around 1200 bucks for this tragedy. And just a few days before that, I told my dad I wanted to buy that car off from him....
I tell you.. irony is sometimes not needed in life. Especially when you have only 440 bucks left in your bank account...
Oh.. and that's why I'm looking for a better paying job..
I'm sorry I had to write this.. I'm just feeling a lot frustrated right now. It's annoying how I've yet to make any big breaks in my life, and only met with so many 'bumps' along the road. Susah sangat ada these bumps, I might as well take the train, since the car isn't kosher for the road no more.
go figure..

u poor thing...
well...regarding last nite's event...i mean u telling me about yr bro and all...i was paying attention. pls dont think otherwise. but the reason why i lack emotional display is because i didnt wanna add in to the pain u're already feeling. i feel hurt myself knowing that u're hurt. that much i can say!
and secondly, i dunno how to respond to it. perhaps u didnt want me to respond to it because all u want is for me to listen and understand the situation.
as for the car...well accidents happen!!!! sometimes it's because we dont pay attention and sometimes it's because other people are not paying attention. so dont fret too much about it. i know it's easier said than done but i think u know that whatever happens to u affects me in some way. so, if u got into an accident i feel bad and i worry about u.
do u really wanna buy the car from yr dad? why dont u give me like i dunno..whatever extra money u have starting by end of this month and i'll keep it for u and then u can put in a downpayment for a kelisa. u can go for a 9 year installment plan or something. that part i think we can work it out. i'll help out!!! i know u dont want me to help out but i still wanna help out!! if u allow me to help out i'll let u buy the stuffed cow at KLCC for me :))))))
sweetheart..one more thing...the things u've mentioned to me last nite..it will always hurt u and there is nothing i can do make it go away. but i can always be there for u when u want to talk about how it hurts u or eats u up inside. it's part of life sayang.
i'm not claiming i've felt anything like it but i've been through similar experiences that made me who i am today. and who am i? i'm a person who try to stay away from all those pain...from the people who have nothing better to do in their lives but hurt my feelings. it's almost like whenever they see my face, their brains start functioning in a 'hurt bibi' mode. i wouldnt say i'm immune to it and i no longer feel the pain...i still feel it and no matter how i try to brace myself..it will hurt me nevertheless..but i know that these people are just the way they are and i'm the way i am. it takes a lot to come to that point. i cant fully claim that i'm already there...coz i'm still working on it. i'm still trying to get there though ithink i'm getting closer and closer by the day.
my point is...just be yourself. there's bound to be pain and hurt but at least u have me and the rest who believes in u, right by yr side when u need them.
but sometimes...there are battles that u have to fight alone!
I guess I wasn't really expecting a emotional response. Yes, I did want you to just listen, and understand why I talk and act like that around that certain somebodies, and why I'm wired the way I am when it comes to certain things.
Our life stories are as different and as rich as colours on a canvas. In my overzealousness to tell you my stories, I somewhat remember your own grim and brooding ways of telling your own life stories. It comes to a point that I hope you can see what I see from my eyes. As much as it is hard for me to comprehend your life, I think you probably have the same problems understanding mine.
And the car issue... My mom is gonna pay for the new tires. But I absolutely refuse to let them replace the broken front part. I still want to pay. And yes.. you and I will work out a way to buy me a new car. And yes.. I still want to get you that bear. Even if it kills me.
