An eventful day - Thursday 18 June 2009

Yesterday proved to be quite an eventful day for me.

1. As I minding my own business driving my way to work using my normal route in a stop & go peak our traffic, I saw this car behind me not stopping in time. I braced myself for impact, but at the back of my head I was thinking, please don't hit my car. The impact was not severe, and having being involved in similar situation I would think that its not going to be that bad. On first account, my car had some scratches which i think can be polished out with the usage of the right chemical and some elbow grease. The other car was worse off, bumper & plate number smashed in, the bonnet was also a bit dented. Seeing that my car was not damaged physically, I decided to exchange contact numbers & details and head back to office.

2. We had some impromptu visit from out northern neighbours. They were in town for some seminar and decided to drop by to see us. I think the session was a very good session and it involves the working level where ideas and inputs were flowing back and forth. True, we have the asean region conferences et al, but that involves top management and everybody was like trying to look good and not telling the whole truth. This working level discussion were more appropriate, but alas with the current trimming of expenditure then, who knows when the next opportunity will come.

3. The dude who hit me called me up saying that he wanted to claim from his insurance the cost of repair. Now it meant that I have to make a police report wrt to the accident as well. Off to Jalan Bandar I went. The report taking was not that long, but to wait for the investigating officer (IO) is another story. Then he wanted me to sketch how the accident happened, which car was where & when. After all that, I still to have my car round the picture hut, with the ulats in tow. They wanted me to send the car to them to be fixed,"Lu bagi lu punya kereta, 2 hari siap, kita kasi kawtim sama itu adjuster mah". I'm seeing Amiaq later to get his input and where reliable to get the job done. Alang-alang dah buat report polis, claim je la....

4. After affairs at the police station have been dealt with, I headed to BJ pool for some unwinding. I took longer than usual to reach the venue. After changing and hitting the pool, my body felt like lead. But after a while the water feel came back and voila, I'm building up speed & distance. At the final whistle, I was no my way to 1975m, which is 39.5 x 50 m laps. The Total Immersion really works. Now i have to improve on my speed work, to meet 1.5km below 45mins.
