'Rocky' Day

An unforgettable day indeed.

As usual, I drove downtown. This time, I was craving for Rocky and bought back 10 packets from a shop. The crave started two days ago when my baby sisters offered it to me.

On my way back home, I came to this T junction and my position was at the 'I' of the 'T' where I could see many cars lining up at the horizontal front road waiting at the traffic light. I wanted to turn left. When I was reaching the junction and about the turn, surprisingly my lane was clear and no car was blocking my way. Since the traffic light was turning yellow, as a Malaysian driver, I pressed against the accelerator so I could quickly turn into the left instead of waiting at the traffic light. My mum was in the car with me. And she had started to raise her voice to get me stopped but apparently I did not since my car had already passed the normal stoppage line.

Drivers from the opposite lane were staring at me one kind. Mmm... Do I look weird?

Soon after that, their stare was answered. When I turned into the left, a familiar fat man with white gloves and a big bike waved kindly to me.

What the...

.....Police?

With no choice, I stopped at the road side. And cars at the opposite lane were staring at me still. I must be looking like some jokers by then. No wonder just now the lane was clear and apparently those drivers knew there were polices waiting and they were also waiting to see who is the dumbo to fall into the trap. Ok, that's me.

Earlier on, I saw this picture on kennysia.com during my boring revision period in Edinburgh. I don't quite buy it till I saw it with my own eyes just now.

The words say "I'm anti-corruption

I was trying to, you know, 'settle' with the police on the spot. But, this policeman, haiz, due to some unknown reason (guess maybe I was his first business and he needs to get back to his boss with at least a few victims before he started his 'own' business), he refused to listen to me, not even prepare to listen a single word of explanations from me. Straight away, he asked for my IC and license. I was rather panic since this is my first time to encounter a police roadblock.

1 minute later, he demanded my window to be scrolled down lower. I thought I might have a second chance to settle with him on the spot. So, I had prepared a smile and had it nicely positioned on my face.... =)

Who knows, he handed me a pen and a summon. =(

And he said, 'Moi, u ni serius lar, langgar lampu isyarat'

'ar?? no lar... tadi lampu orange saje. Tak de chance ke?'

'U sign sini lar, OK?'

'O...ok lo.....'

Fine. He was really serious with it and I was left with no other choice. I just signed the summon off, and said bye bye to him. You can imagine my mum's face.

P/S: I wanted to take a photo of my summon and have it posted up on my blog. However, weirdly, the summon is now nowhere to be found. I asked my mum a favour to keep this as a secret from my dad. And hopefully I recover the summon before my dad finds it somewhere in the house. Also, strangely as I find, the summon has no clearly stated amount of fine I should pay but from what I heard, the market rate is RM300! Guess this is my best summer gift so far. =( =( =(

And since I am not intending to let my dad know about this incident, it also means that I gotta fork out the 300 bucks myself. Sigh....

This time, my wallet is definitely bleeding badly! Haiz.

If any of you has any idea on how to get a 'student price' or maybe 'discount' to pay this fine, do let me know asap! Thx!
