the lesson learnt...

What happened... 30 April (Wed)

Murderer's car was parked quite a distance away from victim's car. Murderer was reversing, to go the shortcut way (her so-called) exiting carpark… BANG!!!

JT happened to come out from office, bro Jacko saw (luckily his vehicle was parked in the lot JUST BESIDE THE EXIT) & shouted: “JT JT!!! Your car kena bang!!! Ya ya! That’s the car! She bang x 2 (possessed by ricky martin eh? hehe =P) & tried to drive away!!!”
Gosh! I was like so MAD because I drive everyday! (thots: need to send in for repair & there goes my usage *argh*) Super ediot lo... Spoke to murderer, skarli so 'hao lian’ & ‘ya ya’ somemore can say her car also damaged! (thots: my problem ar? who banged who eh? & yet you still tried to hit & run if not for Jacko lo!!! - me suppressing hard!)

Really wanted to tell her off, but didn’t coz working in same building (diff coy), hence gave face. Murderer said outside settlement & don't mind paying cash (thots: don't use $$$ to 'see ppl' down thinking $$$ can settle everything, if you so rich compensate on the spot la!!!), took down her particulars & she said she’s rushing for exams & she will be going overseas over the weekend & to contact her on Tuesday.

SMS-ed her on Tuesday (6/5/08) with all the quotes I've checked with KAH Motor Sdn Bhd as well as private workshops, we met up at the accident scene & discussed. Told her my car still new, not even a year & warranty still valid (manufacturer's defect)... so I want my car to go for repair in KAH Motor. She replied: "What? KAH Motor? They sure slashed throat one! My car also less than a year lo (thots: BH~ SGP less than a year? don't bluff me lo!) & I don't send my car to KAH Motor, I use my own mechanic! (thots: that's your problem) Can you go for private mechanic? I don't mind coming out with cash so not to affect my NCD (thots: thought you very rich? Heard KAH Motor nia, you no $$$ eh?)." Anyway, talked quite a while... & she is supposed to come back to me on the quotes by her mechanic.

Days passed... despite my multiple SMS-es, calls & emails to her, she didn't respond. Called her mobile, cut my call.. somemore can say didn't receive lo. Suddenly, received SMS from her say claim insurance. Went down to KAH Motor on Sat (10/5/08) to make a report to claim insurance. Guess what??? The Service Advisor asked why so late then report coz insurance companies only give 14 days to make a report in order to claim the other party & that Mon is a PH! Service Advisor say still able to make it though, but need to file claim using 'ODC - Own damage claim' then legal will claim against her insurance & this will take up to 8 - 9 mths before we get compensated on amount spent. Damn, think she purposely drag drag drag... so I can't make it for my insurance claim lo. Anyway, managed to file claim report... car went for 'makeover' from 21 - 24 May.


Rules of the "game":
1. never go for outside settlement unless you can get immediate cash
compensation!

2. take down driver's particulars, contact details, vehicle no. & make, insurance
log card
(policy no. & company; it'll cost you if you request from LTA)

3. take photographs of accident scene (always have a camera in your vehicle)
(don't assume the 'murder' will share photos with you!).

4. safest way of claim - claim insurance!!!
leave it to your insurance company leaving yourself with a piece of mind after
the 'shock'!


After Makeover... 24 May (Sat)

Reached KAH Motor with dad & mom, we waited for a while (dozing off)... finally car is ready for collection. Inspected the car, paint got abit of problem & Service Advisor drove in for touch-ups. Waited again... re-inspect car, noticed some part not done well... was asked to come back on another Sat for re-touch-up else we'll have to waitttttttttt... so collected car, brought dad go buy clothes at Crocodile International (sales up to 70% off).

Upon reaching Crocodile International, saw the celebrities used by them for publicity - Nat Ho & Thomas Ong (got one more, but didn't notice & don't know who... haha =P)!!! I like Nat Ho lo! So I too bought clothes (support Nat Ho especially =D) & dad bought his (support Thomas Ong on behalf of me =D)!!! hahaha... 'damages spent' - few hundred bucks. Anyway, the design they have now quite fashionable (see next post for pics).
