A Good Day of Waxing

I spent part of my weekend waxing my Ipsum. I gave it a good wash (yet to implement 2 buckets system) with Turtle Wax F21 Car Wash and then slowly with Car Plan Ultimate Wax. I purchased Macquire's drying cloth and a special cloth for removing the wax from the car. I think they are quite good.

Wrong Focus - Sony Ericsson P990i

Still won't focus - Sony Ericsson P990i

This is much better, see the paintwork?

My New Side Mirror, RM1,000 burnt

Wax effect - sorry no prior photos

Does it say thousand of words?

Thanks Ah Keong for letting my paint looks so good!

RON 92 Down By 22 Sen

Good news.

The more reason to buy vehicles which engine consumes RON92 petrol.

Thank God I bought a Toyota.

PLUS Lembu

I watched RTM news yesterday.

Something like this was mentioned -

"Sebuah kereta yang sedang dalam perjalanan daripada Kuala Lumpur ke Melaka melalui Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan gagal mengawal kenderaannya dan telah melanggar seekor lembu yang sedang melintas... berhampiran Tol Pedas"

Both passengers died on the spot.

I think this statement is better -

"PLUS gagal memastikan pagar-pagar di sekeliling kawasan tersebut diselenggara dengan baik untuk mengelakkan daripada lembu-lembu memasuki kawasan lebuhraya mereka."

"PLUS seharusnya tampil membuat kenyataan untuk bertanggungjawab di atas kejadian tersebut. Orang ramai yang menggunakan dan membayar untuk perkhidmatan Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan berhak untuk memandu dengan ketenangan fikiran. Tanda-tanda lebuhraya telah menunjukkan bahawa orang ramai seharusnya selamat untuk memandu di kawasan lebuhraya dengan kelajuan maksima 110 km sejam."

Be on alert when you drive on the highway.

Repair Progress 3

After a week, the paint job is nearly completed. Now, waiting for the delivery of the side mirror -

Repair Progress 2

Repair Progress 1

After a day, these are the photos of my Ipsum -

* Sorry that the photos are out of focus, my SE P990i failed on me.

Accident at Tenggaruh, Mersing

6th July 2008 4.45 pm

I was traveling from Endau, Johor to Kulai, Johor and reached Tenggaruh at the time.

Because of a carelessness by a motorcyclist, my Ipsum got into an accident.

This was the motorcyclist

The place of accident was at the front of a bus stop with a row of small restaurant fronting the bus stop. There was a large croud.

Immediately after the accident I went out of the car, and I was attacked by a local person. The person tried to punch me in the face but I blocked him with my arm.

Scratches as a result

The person was grabbed by other people and prevented from attacking me. After consulted by them, he soon realized that I was not at fault.

These are the photos taken of my Ipsum after the accident -

The damage looks not so bad, but the hit was hard

The registration number dropped from its place

The bumper is strong, did not drop from its fitment

The motorcyclist said sorry to me, telling me that the motorcycle had no insurance and that he did not hold any driving license. But the fact that he dumped his motorcycle like this made me feel something was not right -

At the back of an office, the motorcycle fell on the road

The local told me that this could be a 'motor panas'

Not too long after that, a policeman came and inspected the motorcycle. He did not ask any question from me because he had been briefed by the spectator who witnessed the accident.

The policeman wipe out some oil to look at the engine number

Difficult to see?

The policeman made a call to his office to request for a check on the number.

He then received a return call. Immediately after he put his phone down, the motorcyclist was handcuffed. I was told not to photograph the motorcyclist after that.

I was told by the policeman that the registration number on the motorcycle was fake. The motorcycle was stolen from the owner who reside at Kota Tinggi, Johor.

I still do not know the correct registration number of this bike

The Honda EX5's Engine Number

Another view of it

The motorcyclist was brought to the police station (Sungai Ambat) and I was told to wait for the traffic police.

The traffic police came to ask me how the accident took place and then I was told to go back to Traffic Police Station at Mersing to lodge my report.

I went to lodge my accident report and after that a report against the person who attacked me. I was asked to go to Sungai Ambat Police Station after lodging my report against the person who attack me because the incident took place near the Sungai Ambat station.

I was interviewed at Sungai Ambat police station. I asked the police to caution the person who attacked me.

7th July 2008

I sent my Ipsum to Victory for repairs.

To the garage!

One of the reason why I sent it here

My Ipsum will be ready in a week.

I decided not to claim against my insurance. More about that later.
