My poor baby!!!

Last weekend, I went on another hunt to Melaka. If I had known that it would turn out to be the worst hunt weekend I've ever had, I would never have gone!!! Sigh... :( Things couldn't have gone more wrong. First, I had to cancel on a good friend who was coming all the way back from Oz for an ex-colleague's wedding. (Sorry!). Secondly, I had to work late on Friday nite (and every night before that) that I forgot to buy the hotdogs I was delegated to buy. Thirdly, I didn't get a good night's sleep so I woke up the next day feeling groggy and with a slight headache... not a good start to a hunt day at all! Throughout the entire hunt, I had to battle the heat and a pounding headache... and it didn't help that the questions were really really tough. Towards the end, I was ready to give up already. All I could think of was to get to the finish control as soon as possible so that I can just get some sleep and rest my poor head. :(

But of course, that was not all that went wrong that day... just a few questions away from the finishing line (and we were already running late), my poor baby V was involved in an accident!! :( We were slowing to a stop, and about a second later a white Kancil just rammed into my back! I was so shocked. I guess it didn't really show coz I was really feeling quite sick at that time. We all got out of the car and had to talk to the Malay security guard who was driving the Kancil. On inspection, my Vios bumper was dented quite badly. Sigh... what a bad day. :(

The next day (after another bad night's sleep coz I was really feeling very sick that night), I had to go to the police station with my friend to make a police report so that I can claim insurance. My friend estimated that it would probably cost around RM800 to fix. I better be able to claim third party insurance on that! Otherwise, I'm gonna be broke. :(

There was a slight complication too. After I made the police report, I was told that the investigating officer was not around and so could not take my statement. I expressed my concern to the police officer that I would be heading back to KL that day, and would not want to have to go back to Melaka if indeed the statement is absolutely required. However, I was assured that it was ok. But of course, as usual, the worst had to happen. I got a call the night I got back to KL from the investigating officer, who insisted that I have to go back to Melaka for him to take my statement. :(

But all is well now... I gave the investigating officer a call this morning, and after a short chat he told me that it's ok, and that I don't have to go Melaka! Phew! :) Now all I have to do is make that claim to my insurer and get my baby back to its glory days. :)

[Will post a picture of my injured baby soon. :) ]

Sorry to hear that. Are the people all ok? Hmm..if your baby's lights didn't break and only the bumper is dented, it could be cheap to fix. I fixed mine b4 for just RM100+.

poor baby... hope she'll recover soon and bring more joy (and luck!) to the owner.

I think I need to get the whole bumper changed, coz my rear sensor has totally gone bonkers. :( And if I want to send it to a Toyota workshop, I heard it's gonna cost about RM800. I'll have to send it to be assessed first. :(

Luckily my poor baby V is still hanging in there, and still bringing joy and luck to her owner despite her pain. She's so strong... ;)
