My helmet's visor broke off.....poor chap.

This post is specially dedicated to my motorbike's helmet. Yes, it's an ordinary motorbike's helmet, nothing fancy; no more, no less. Today, on this rainy day,


It saved my life.


Oh yes, u read that right. If it was not for him, most probably my head will break, bleed like no one’s business & I won’t even have the chance to blog about this incident now. Or wait, I should rephase this as THE ACCIDENT.

Do take a look at my motorbike’s current condition.

My dear motorbike……severely damaged due to the accident.

Another view of my motorbike….yes it’s THAT bad.

Yes, I got involved in an accident. With my motorbike. On a rainy day. And it just happened early afternoon today. Thank God I’m still in 1 piece, no severe damage to myself except for a strained pelvic backbone & some cuts here & there. The main reason I’m blogging about this right now instead of going to the clinic or hospital for a checkup, so that I can still explain in detail what happened back there throughout the whole accident.


Here goes….


I just finished having lunch with my work colleagues at SS2, & was heading back home on my motorbike. After passing through the Section 14 interjunction, it began raining heavily. Although I have a raincoat with me inside my motorbike’s seat, I was too lazy to use it as it’s close to home already. As it was raining heavily & I’m with no raincoat, I began to lower my speed & started “rolling” slowly. When I pass by a junction, a STUPID ID**T MOTHER F**KER MPV ( please pardon my language, this is just unavoidable ! ) rushed out of the junction as if it’s his father’s road & overtook my lane without any signal lights & going on high speed. When I began to notice the danger ahead, I quickly hit all my brakes with all the b*lls I have or else I’ll become some wet sandwich between motorbike & some id**t MPV.


*screeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh* BLAM !!!


Oh my God. The next thing I know, I got a brief blackout, looking up the skies, & lying down on the road. As I was slowly recovering my sight & my steps, I saw the MPV speeding off quickly & dissappeared from my sight. And I was left lying there, with all the dizziness & headache, & my backbone hurts so bad. Luckily during that time, there was this off-duty policeman who just happen to ride his motorbike & witnessed the accident. This good hearted man helped me up, lifted my severely damaged motorbike to the side of the street, & temporarily directed the current traffic. As I was slowly recovering my senses to realise what really happened in that brink of second, the guy came over & asked me “Dik, you ok tak?” (in Bahasa Malaysia, it means “Brother, are you ok?”) As I was already standing & doing fine, I told him I’m ok & manage to get home by myself as I live nearby. After that, the guy left with his motorbike & traffic resumes as usual.


Now here comes the best part.


How the heck am I suppose to get back home with all these damage?


Good question. And with my severely damaged motorbike, it still manage to operate as usual ! Well, despite the broken covers & damaged circuits. And with that, I rode my damaged motorbike back home, while drawing much attention from the crowd everywhere. After that, yes, I manage to get home safely. Then, continue with my daily tasks for the day up to now. And now….posting this up on my blog before I lose my senses.


Ok, I’m done posting. Now, off to the hospital for a brief checkup for any internal bleeding, as my head still experiencing that disturbing dizziness since that accident.


Wish me good luck, friends.
