It's not a good day today. I have to fork out RM 300 for nothing but to pay a fine for speeding!! I received 2 police summons on Friday when I came back to my apartment in PD. I need to change my road tax on 19 May. If I don't pay or delay payment, I am in trouble. So faithfully I went to PD Police station to pay the fine hoping I'll get a discount or something. Fat hope!!!
The policeman in-charge at first said I could pay RM200 but he has to check the computer first to confirm. Sadly he apologized and said I have to pay the full amount of RM300 and the he turned the monitor towards me to read. It was black!! He said I was caught during OPs Sikap on 1 February at the highway to Seremban before the toll. Tiada maaf bagimu. The speed limit was 80 and I did 98!! He can't help me. Oh my God, I didn't realise that I drove over the speed limit thinking highway speed limit is 110km. Actually I am not a fast driver. Most of the time I obeyed the speed limit. In 2006, I had to pay RM300 for speeding 80 at 70 km speed limit in Sri Aman, Sarawak and since then I have been clean. I think I am a careful driver but luck was not on my side that day. I must be rushing back to PD from PJ after internship supervision the previous day.
The other summon letter is for illegal parking in PJ which I paid RM30 immediately after I returned from NZ. I hope my name is not in the police traffic blacklist.
I am adjusting to driving in KL. I really hate driving in this nightmare city. The drivers are so impatient and rude. The claim that Malaysians are warm and friendly are false. Once they are behind the wheels, they become pontianak in human clothimgs. I hate them when they honk for the slightest fault like driving not as fast as they want you to. The motorcyclists are another nuisance. I think we should ban motorcycles. They ride so fast and weaved through cars like supermen. They gave me quite a fright many times when they just overtake right in front of me. True what my American friend said a long time ago, Malaysians don't value their lives.
Every time I have to drive to KL, I have anxiety. I avoid driving there but the internship forced me to drive. If my appointment with students at 9 am, I have to leave my PJ house before 7 am in order to avoid the massive jam and supervision must be over the latest by 4.30pm. It was rush, anxiety, rush, anxiety........ Definitely not good for my heart. Thank God, internship is over!! Bye, bye KL. I don't want to see you again.

Kelakar baca entri ni, kesian pun ada juga, mcm ternampak2 kak zu membebel -"tiada maaf bagimu..".. penuh perasaan, dengan lirik mata sekali & bibir nipisnya.. Gelak besar dengan ayat ni - "bye bye KL I don't want to see u again!.."..

Memang masa tulis tu rasa frust dan geli hati pun ada. Biasanya KZu patuh pada speed limit tapi bila terlupa sekali, jam tu lah kena. Macam tu gak kes parking, kejap je KZu letak kat situ berlari masuk kedai, bila keluar tiket saman dah ada, Agaknya polisman tu sembunyi, saja nak tangkap KZu. Hai dah nasib!!
Jangan kena lagi cukuplah. Pokai saya nanti. dah lah kita ni orang pencen, kena bayar saman pulak. Lupa nak tanya polis tu sama ada ada discount bagi senior citizen yg kena saman!

emm haikal nak cadangkan pada mama install program navigator yang ada ingatkan kita kalau ada roadblock atau samawakti dgnnye. alat ini diisntall dalam hanphone kita aktifkan bila kita dalam perjalanan. haikal pun ada pengalaman ditahan oleh 3 orang anak muda di jalan jeli ke rantau panjang sebab hon mereka. haikal hon sebab diorang sedang mengorat budak perempuan yang hampir-hampir nak kene kerate haikal. diorang blok kerate dan minta wang sebab terkejut hon kerate tadi. nak elak perkara takdiingi berlaku, sedekah budak umur dlm 25-28 thun rm50. so hati2 memandu ditempat orang. satu lagi di kelanta tak boleh hon sebarangan katanye nanti kita orang gedebe 'samseng' jadi tukar hon anda bila ke kelantan bunyinye abe chik adik kawe tompang lalu deh..
ada hikmah semuanya mama, tuhan nak bagi yang lebih baik lepas ini

TQ cadangan tu. Saya tak tahulah pasal alat teknologi canggih ni. Nanti saya tanya budak komputer kat sini kalau dia tahu. Tapi rasanya saya tak lah drive laju. akan beringat2 nanti.
Apa teruknya tabiat buadk Melayu Kelantan tu. macam gengster. tapi berani kat bangsa sendiri je agaknya.

Now only I know the speed limit at highway was not always 110km/j. Anyway, there might be a blessing in disguise. ^.^
Enjoy another coming up good day... Happy weekend!
HiYTeng
