Visiting nana's restaurant (ROADTRIP!)

So...I decided to visit Rowena's family restaurant...and also decided to drag zh n kenneth along with it...XD mostly cuz I have this really bad sense of direction...and also I think it's better than going there alone...-_-

PS: that was actually like 2 weeks ago

I had the exact address in my HP and I forgot to check it...biggest mistake of the day...I just followed what I can remember from Rowena's directions which is follow the OUG highway or something along the lines which I don't really remember...and to top that off...none of us knows how to get to OUG...not that it's the right place to go to begin with...but heck...that's what we got for the time being so might as well go along with it...

With my god awful sense of direction and navigation...we managed to find OUG with kenneth's help...(all 3 of us don't know the way to OUG)...so when we were there...we were thinking...where's the shop? And finally I remembered the address in my HP...-_- it's actually in taman bukit jalil rather than OUG...XD

Luckily OUG isn't that far from taman bukit jalil...and we got there without much trouble...just reaching taman bukit jalil though...we found this whole network of roads kinda like a web and got confused...we got out from taman bukit jalil and back in OUG by taking the wrong turn a couple of times...-_- more than that...we ended up in some distant housing are way up in the mountains...where one of my distant relatives live in...-_-...yea...i'm that bad in navigation...XD I freaking admit it...XD and we even found another branch of our good ol' mamak stall...AL BARKATH! XD

At about 1:45 we finally found the restaurant...which is located right beside some housing areas...not the same one that we got into earlier though...well the shop is quite nice...still looking relatively new...cuz it IS new...opened for about a week only...and haven't got the full menu in place yet...D=

Damn...I was hoping for something with cheese...XD oh well...in the end I settled for some curry noodles and it was not bad...tastes averagy but there's a whole lot of ingredients in it...which is good...=D and some tarts which i forgot the name...seems homemade and it's quite good...but I hate bananas...D= had so much of it when i was a kid that I developed a 'phobia' XD

Oh well...that was quite a day...at least we all know the way to OUG now...haha...

That's all folks

Ah...

So the accident I mentioned in the previous post made headlines in today's newspapers...yea it's THAT bad...though it MIGHT have been downplayed by the media...cuz it doesn't really seem to be there's only 2 fatalities...but if that were true it would be the best possible outcome though...

Anyways...Just went to BTS for another movie...The Mummy...yeap...that one...no not your mom...XD Oh well...it's one typical Disney movie...got what I expected...and nothing special...it really is the ordinary of the ordinaries...if you get what i mean...it's not bad at all means...but of course it pales in comparison to Batman...hell that movie is one of the best movies I've ever watched in recent years...

That's all folks

Damn...

I just got some new shock absorbers for my car...or my brother's car...oh who gives a damn...and I'm gonna give it a little test drive in MRR2 today...and that's exactly what I did...=D

2 runs in MRR2 between my place and Taman Connaught...considerable amount of bumps and potholes and 'waves'...heck dun blame me for saying this...blame the government for making it so damn stupid...-_-

Run number 1...cruising through MRR2 at about 80km/h...at this speed my car would be scratching its tires no question...and probably the front bumper...but...i felt nothing today...1st run...GOOD...=D

So when I was ending my run when I was reaching Taman Connaught...taking a junction that connects directly from MRR2 to Taman Connaught...As I was going down the slope at that junction...I saw a huge group of people gatherin at the end of the junction's roadside...and I was thinking maybe theres some kinda event going on so I slowed down...just slow enough to make out that in the group of people...some are policemen and some are firemen...that can't be good...

I literally got the shock of my life after what I saw...this white SsanYong MPV was lying on the side of the road all crushed up...my goodness...it would be a bloody miracle if anyone survived that...and on the side of that car there's the divider...or what's left of it...I looked to the opposite and there lies a truck...a huge truck...used for transporting boulders and that's exactly what it is carrying...i was stunned...speechless...when I got to the other side and met up with wz...we went to giant...directly above the truck to get a better view of the crash...we're not really those kind of ppl who park at the side of the road just for a better view mind you...-_- and there were plenty that time...this salesman started talking to us and told us how it all went through...apprently he's doing his daily routine of promoting stuff while the accident happened and he's one of the few people who were there to help before the police arrived...although there's nothing much to help...

According to him...this truck...was coming down the same way me n wz took to get to connaught...but it was SPEEDING...speeding while carrying a huge load like that is never in any world a wise choice my friend...unless you can defy the laws of physics that is...so the truck couldn't stop in time...and smashed into a car...the MPV...which spun a number of times before coming into a stop...the truck then continued over the divider...hitting a motorcyle...which rider was instantly killed as the head was apparently decapitated...and smashing another van into the wall outside giant at the highway...trust me...I'm glad to be arriving at Connaught 2 hours later than I originally intended to...All that were involved in the accident was killed on the spot...except for the van driver...he is all broken up and barely alive...and already off to the hospital when I was there...the firemen made shortwork of the wreckage and extracted the man from it pretty quickly...hats off to them...but I couldn't see the van anywhere...so I guess it might not be as bad as it seems for the van...

Then the same salesman who told me the whole thing is promoting me his products...car cleaning stuff...which works really well and frankly...it is what my car needs now...since it's at a bargainable price I cut a deal with him and will buy it...just not today...

After lunch...I decided to head home...and it was only then...the full extent of the damage caused by the disaster was revealed to me...I can finally see the van with the lorry removed...it's embedded in the wall outside giant...Trust me...you won't see another car being this flat unless you're in a junkyard of some sort...God must've loved the driver...cuz I can't really imagine how could he survive that crash...although he's probably declared dead after he was sent to the hospital...best of wishes to the guy...the others aren't that lucky though...like I said...all except the van driver were instantly killed on the scene...the worst thing is...the people in the MPV are a whole family...I don't know if there are any kids in there but I really hope not...though probably yes...

Back at home...I took my usual afternoon nap and went to pavillion to have dinner and celebrate my brader's b'day...happy 18th b'day bro...though it could have been better if my mom would just hold her damn tongue and stop verbally shooting others for the night...

That's all folks
