Since my car accident last Sunday, the thought of my existance has been boggling me.
I knowwww... it was just an accident! But if not for my insurance, I would have had to fork out RM4K or more through my nose for the 3rd party's damage. Mine would probably cost another RM1.5K.
Never in my life have I felt that God had abandoned me to rot for no good reason. It hurt... BAD.
The DAMAGE: Dented bonnet, tilted bumper & 1x broken lightNext day (Monday), I had to take the day off to lodge a police report at State PJ which seems to mostly service road accidents. I kena scolded by some macho Malay officer for requesting for Lionel to come into the 'confession' booth with me... (it had to be the sternest looking guy in the the room!). Thing is... i neglected to see a sign placed outside the room stating that only those involved in the accident. Anyway, I thought Lionel was sorta indirectly involved in the accident so I asked for him to come in and teman me... not to my surprise, I got 'bam-boo-ed' like an idiot. The police office was asking me if I wanted to sit at his place la... said no one gave Lionel permission to enter and why I asked him to come in la... My heart was already aching for the cost of the damage and then God sent me such a 'kind' officer to handle my case. So whatever la...
After the rediculously embarrassing and horrible ordeal, Lionel brought me for sushi :) - HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY
Later in the evening, my dad asked me to photocopy my driving license for submission to the insurance agent on Tues morn. When I was at the shop, I realized that my license was not with me...nor was my I/C. I must've left it with that mean ol' police officer. My heart sank even deeper that day. I mean, not to justify my memory loss which all of you can attest to but I was already so intimidated by this 'En. S' that I just took whatever he gave me and quickly went to pay my summon. I prayed and prayed for it to be there.
Lionel then drove me to the police station again to check if it was there... but the police officers said it wasn't and told me to come by again the next morning to check with the relevant officers whom I liaised with earlier. Can you imagine how distraught I was??? VERY. It was very difficult for me to tell my dad since he's already upset over the car. But I had no choice but to face the music... which was horrible *bleagh* Do you know how it feels to disappoint your parents within such a short time span? Dreadful.
I couldn't sleep very well last nite, thinking about the 'what ifs' so I got up from bed to research on the processes of I/C and driving license renewals....you know...in case they really cannot find them. And that night, I prayed and prayed and finally, I felt the Holy Spirit saying "Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make straight your path".
This morning, my mum drove me to the police station and it was no surprise, they said they couldn't find it and assured me that I must have misplaced it somewhere. I don't think my heart could sink any deeper. How am I going to do my insurance claim if I don't have those documents!!! My dad would kill me!!! So I politely requested for the police officers from the various departments to check thoroughly if my documents were with them. I mean, it wasn't like I hoping for them to ransack their office... just to look into their drawers, scatter some papers on their tables, check the lost & found area! I'd be satisfied with that....but noooo.... they had to rub it in and say irrelevant things like "u ni ah moi yang takut En. S tu kan? ahh...semalam u tak lawar...hari ni lawar pulak! U pakai macam ini cantik la..." *blink*blink*blink*blink* And they were all joking... It was so infuriating cos I NEED MY DOCUMENTS!@#!@$@#$#@$@# I was seriously about to get a major breakdown at that point....seriously. But thankfully, this particular police officer, En J, just told me "kan dah kata takde, moi... U bagi I u punya nombor talipon. Nanti bila En. S balik, saya tanya dia la". I was told that En. S would only come back to work on Thursday. GRrrRRrrr...
Next thing to do it lodge a police report on my lost I/C and license at that exact same police station. Even the police officer who helped me on my report was surprised and shook his head. WATTADOOOOO.....
After that, we went to Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia (JPN) to do my I/C which probably took about 30-45mins and RM50 for my renewal (temporary I/C...can only collect the new MyKad in 10days). After that, we went to Jabatan Pengangkutan Malaysia (JPJ) to do my driving license which took 15mins or so. Sigh... Unfortunately, I can't use the new driving license for my insurance claims submission cos the police report was based on the old number & validity period. So, I was told to go to the JPJ HQ at Padang Jawa (Shah Alam) to get a report on my old license information.
When we were about to arrive at the JPJ HQ, I received a phone call - it was from the police officer, En. J. The phone conversation went a lil like this "Cik Heah, kita sudah jumpa u punya I/C dan lesen. U mau datang ambil bila?" .... I was stoned.... *blink*blink*blink*blink* I wanted to say many things but I think the only words that came out were, "Nanti saya datang kutip" *DEEP SIGH*
We turned around, collected everything and I thanked En. J for getting my documents for me although it wasn't him who was handling my case. It was En. S - that mean ol' pork face.
Incidentally, he came back to the police station and as I walked out after thanking En. J, he shouted "Eleh...sombongnya dia...tak ucap terima kasih kepada saya pun!"... I actually turned around to ucap...but within a split second, I told myself to turn back and walk on. Why? Cos it was him who was keeping my documents and he was the reason why I had to waste petrol, valuable time and RM72 to re-do my documents.
I just smiled and walked away - HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY.
So God, if You're listening still... which You mostly likely are.... I've had a really bad week. Pleaseeeee give me a break!!! :(
