It was on a Saturday afternoon, 11 February 2006. I just finished giving my precious car a nice clean up and I was beginning to feel kinda exhausted. I wanted to head for my bed but my brother asked me to fetch him from the aquarium shop. There goes my nap, oh well.

Off I went to the aquarium, which was somewhat 10 minutes drive from my place. I was there waiting for a good half and hour for him to choose his fishes. When he was finally done, we proceeded home and on the way, I had to go along the Simpang Tiga roundabout. While I was doing just that, I came across a guy who was trimming the grass at the edge of the roundabout center. Being cautious so as not to get my car dirty and sticking with grass, I sort of drove slightly away from the roundabout center while passing him.

All of a sudden, PPPAAAAAAKKKKK!!! I was shocked for a second. Thousands of thoughts and possibilities ran through my mind for that one second and as I came back to reality, it began to strike me that something just hit my car. My blood began boiling and my face was beginning to turn red. Outraged, I just blurted out, “kaniniang, chao cheebye, pukima, pubokia, mother fucking bastard.” A stone just flew up from the grass cutting machine and hit my car body. That made my day. I was practically cursing and scolding throughout my whole journey back home. I was also cursing the whole night. The harshest, most vulgar word available in the English language today just wasn’t enough to vent my frustration and anger. Heck, not even the Chinese language was sufficient. After only 2 short months of hard effort to protect my car from harms way, all effort was just gone, just LIKE THAT! Lucky for me, the stone neither hit my car too low nor too high. If it did, my glasses would have either shattered or my car body would have been badly dented.

The result, my car body’s paint work was slightly chipped off and my window rubber seal was damaged by the hit on the front driver’s door.

Nothing major but I am still very pissed. Had that brainless idiot used his brain a little, just a small portion of it, this wouldn’t have happened. Trimming the grass on the edge of the roundabout where a lot of cars are passing by, knowing that stones or minor particles might just fly up and hit passing vehicles, for god’s forsaken sake, please, please, trim the grass inwards!!! That way, even if anything flew up, it would have flown inwards and not outwards towards passing vehicles.

Now that the idiot have incurred the damage on my vehicle, who is going to pay for it? Neither him nor the council, so it has gotta be me! Bugger! This isn’t the first and I reckon it won’t be the last time, so the next time I experience this again, I am just gonna blardy alight my car and just screw the hell out of these brainless idiots. Now, get back to work and REMEMBER, trim the grass INWARDS when trimming at the edge of any roads with passing vehicles, GET IT?!?!?! GET IT, HUH?!?!?!
