Who would have thought...

Today started just like any ordinary day. However, the ending wasn't ordinary at all. Unless you consider a car explosion a norm.

You must have gone HAH????!!! by now huh.

No, it wasn't my car but Ramesh's Range Rover (RRR). Yup, on the way over, his car caught fire at the engine bay (thats what the bomba guy said) and it spreaded. When he realised that, he quickly parked his car aside and ran to the nearest house to get help. And you know what the 'Good Samaritan' did? This lady quickly went into her house and shut the door. What a B***H!!

As the fire spreaded, he could not do anything but watched helplessly. But it's a good thing he remember to quickly take out all the important stuff in his car before the damage gotten worst.

Well, there's actually someone kind enough (a passer by) to call the Fire Brigade Dept and and a fire engine came and put out the fire.

And of coz!! being typical Malaysians... like all of us... lots of KPCs were crowding around... watching and this man came over and ask... YOUR CAR CAUGHT FIRE KA? We were like...DUH!!!! You stupid or what??? And Ramesh, being his usual sarky self... responded.. No.. Caught water... heheheh...

And we definitely cannot leave out the tow truck guy... coz we all know that, when ever there's a car issue happened on the road... be it breakdown.. accident... aaah!!! new one to my list... a car explosion.!!. these truckers are somehow always lurking around waiting to pounce on you while giving you the impression of ..'aiya.. come come.. let me help you... vely cheap one.. no ploblem one la.... aiya......

Well, true enough... this cina man.. came from out of nowhere... suddenly just stick his name car onto my hand and say... 'want me to help do your insor (insurance) claim arr... very fast one... I can help... and the most annoying part is.. we told him from the start.. it's ok.. thank you... we got someone to do... this cina man kept approaching us and repeat the same thing every 5 mins!!! aaaarrrrgh!!! Ramesh got so annoyed and told him... it's ok Towkay... you wanna make money go make somewhere else la... here no money to make la... and cina man said... no no... only want to help ma...........

Anyway.. to cut the long story short... the car now is a total lost... sigh... very sad... coz there's a lot of memories of that car.. good ones and of coz bad ones as well... like Ramesh said.. its as though.. someone died and you reflect back of the memories... its those kinda feelings.. I feel the same as well..

We always worry and think of our car safety... being stolen... accidents.. who would ever think that it will explode... have you ever??? Not me..........

Its a good thing Christian was not in the car when it happened or else... he's gonna be so traumatised. And come to think of it... I took a picture of him this afternoon in the car... dunno why... maybe it's telling me something...

Christian in the car...

And here's the condition of the car now...

Therefore, the moral of the story is... please make sure you have a mini fire estinguisher in your car at all time!! You never know when you need to use it.. Don't have it?? Go get one!!
