With just the 2nd mth greeting us in 2009, little humps here & there have brushed by me. Paying me little visit, waking me up from my la-la land that things are not always as rosy as we want or wish to be. With the temporary health scare put behind me last month, I was haunted once again by the nightmare of the accident that I got myself into while on assignment at Fuhua.
Apparently the uncle who drive the truck now twisted the facts on his insurance report & insisted that I was the one coming out from the school compund & did not do a proper check when I hit him on the main road. I guess he would save no expense on defending himself as he would rather I foot the bill even though its no fault of mind, even though I was NOT coming out from the school, even though he came from the side to brush his big truck against my rear. On hindsight, I should have been tougher on him, I should have looked pass his pitiful face, begging me to let him go as he is just a mere truck driver. So we were offered a 50% cost payment compensation which means in other words I accepted responsibility as one at fault. But the report also said that its his word against mine as there were no witnesses so it was a no-win situation as far as I can see. So the husband asked me to email the picture of the care just after the accident. I thought I saved it in my Macbook but my Macbook was in the 'workshop' for a week due to some problems with my logic board. AFter it was repaired the guy said that the parts were corroded & it looks like it was poured with some liquid which eventually caused my Macbook to play punk on me. Yes I was certainly not in a party-mood with the cost of the repair of both car & Macbook settled by the dear husband. He was not very amused when told the picture of the car was in fact not in my Mac but already accidentally deleted from my phone. So now he said, we have no evidence at least to have a fighting chance to see if we can appeal for a full compensation. At that moment I felt like I was in a dumpster - not a nice feeling I must say.
So I shall let the 'wound' slowly heal...after all its just the 2nd month..but I do hope there wont be any major drama in the near future, Insyaallah, but then again we can only hope & wish, for now... and for now, there's always my good old Korean drama to give me my much needed hype - now I'm halfway through 'Air City', always good to keep your mind off things to wallow yourself in Hallyu Land....always good...
