Early Morning Accidents in Kuching City


Caused by absent minded drivers or really these cases were purely just an accident?!
Written by Money Tai Tai








I would remind Kuching folks who drive before 7:30am on the street along Kopitiam 98 must stay in full alert, two Wednesday mornings I already witnessed car accidents happened here. I kept pondering if those folks staying in the residential area opposite of Kopitiam 98 were very peaceful and there was no rooster to fully awaken them in the morning so they couldn't drive in full conscious thus likely to give other unlucky folks "a kiss" on their cars??!!


This morning I witnessed two brand new cars, a maroon and a white Toyota "kissed" each others again. One obviously trying to exit from the neighborhood but one couldn’t apply a sudden brake.


The unlucky person whose car got hit from this residential resident on last Wednesday was ME, I was on my way back sending off kids to Chung Hua No. 2, on my way back home with the jam while everyone drove like 20km/hr suddenly my body felt a vibration, then my car began to lose its control, I immediately control my wheel free from any obstacle, if I moved car slightly to the left, I would hit other car, if I moved forward I would hit the car ahead of me, if I moved to the right, I might die on scene, because the car from the opposite lane after enter in from roundabout usually drove in such a great speed.


I didn’t get scared the shit out, but anyhow I left my car with my shaky body, immediately I saw the driver who hit me emerged from her car, I looked at her eyes and appearance I knew why she hit me, first thing I asked her, “Why? Everyone drove so slowly, how you hit me? I didn’t even apply any emergency brake causing you trouble, why you give me trouble?”


“Oh, because my little kids talked to me, I turned my head, then I felt I hit into something, now we are all hurt, my kids and I hit their heads to the windscreen!” I cursed silently, “You blamed me fxxking Stxpxx absent minded irresponsible driving woman?!”


Early 7:20am, I called Mr. Money, as usual he was out of town and his hp was switched off, and my car owner Dr. Money’s hp was switched off too, then I remembered he flew to Miri every Wednesday to see his patients.


If these days someone tells me it is good to get married so I have a partner to share my burden, trouble and problem, I will tell her, "BULLSHIT!" As usual I went alone to the police station with the broken car. The woman had to pay that RM300 to lodge the police report. Then she began to tell me how bad things happened to her family, “Last week someone hit my relative’s car too, now it's my turn!”


“Sorry! What are you talking? I didn’t hit your car but it was you who knocked my car from behind while I was driving at 20km/hr!” Then she changed her words. I was thinking what a bad luck I got, sitting there wasting my whole morning without breakfast in the police station.


Then after a while she introduced a runner to me, who said could help me to claim the insurance. The runner estimated it would cost RM2000++ to fix up in claiming insurance, as I need the car to fetch my kids everyday, I need it get repaired as soon as possible, he said it could get repaired within 5 days, so I agreed, then he asked me to follow him to a mechanic.


Over the workshop office, the mechanic asked me to pay him RM2000 cash as the deposit but I told him I didn’t bring this kind of money but RM800. They insisted that my Great Eastern Insurance is the third party that’s why I have to pay the mechanic first before the claim released, he said if I bought first party insurance then I don’t need to pay any money to him (but the woman who hit me carried first party Kurnia Insurance).


I felt something is not right as whenever during past decades when I repaired car, the mechanic that I knew of would never ask me for any deposit, but how could this unknown mechanic ask for full amount of RM2000 repair fees, so I tried to get hold of Mr. Money again. Finally I got hold of him, he insisted that I shouldn’t pay the mechanic any money because I didn’t make mistake, he said I should ask the woman who hit me to pay this kind of repairing money. Mr. Money said the runner and mechanic would always tell people that we could get the full insurance claim, but turned out usually the compensation is just a few hundred ringgit.


Mr. Money said that if I paid the mechanic this RM2000 (Actually the mechanic calculated it was RM2300++) but at the end of the day I sure will just receive few hundred ringgit from the insurance company, he asked me me then who is going to pay the rest of the money. Mr. Money said the most he would help me to advance payment for the repairing fees is RM500.


Then Mr. Money began to argue with the runner and the mechanic, they explained to him, “Your wife carried third party insurance that’s why you have to pay the cash money to the mechanic first, after 3 to 4 months, Kurnia will release the money to Great Eastern and the Great Eastern will pay the the owner of the car (Dr. Money) directly, they will call the owner to collect the cheque! The woman hit you from behind that's why you can definitely get the full refund.” But Mr. Money didn’t believe them, so there were yes and no arguments went on. I got so stressed up…. who should I curse by then … of course to the absent minded stupid driver who hit me from behind of course. “Did she meet the ghost … shit!”


Three days later Mr. Money still argued with me, “No I am not going to pay that RM2000 to the mechanic! YOU HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY???!!!”


"Okay, I pay him from my own saving instead then!” I felt that I need to fly to Singapore Mt. E to check in its stress ward again!


Mr. Money then got very hysterical, “You know the drunken UNIMAS student who hit me after her party in Hilton didn’t stop at the stop junction, she called her police uncle, daddies and relatives … oh ya, at the end I even paid to repair her car! My car got first class insurance ... you know they would tell you insurance can claim all the repair fees, but usually ended up the most is few hundred. I tell you what! IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN REFUND ALL YOUR REPAIR FEES AND YOUR LOST FOR THIS ACCIDENT, MY MONEY SIRNAME WILL CHANGE TO YOUR YELLOW SIRNAME OK?!!! &**(*&^%^$”


Well, I thought silently if the insurance company couldn’t refund me the repair fees (What is the interest rate for 3 to 4 months advanced cash payment to mechanic before insurance claim return to me?) I will engage a good lawyer for my stress, mental abused by Mr. Money (He acted like I was hitting into someone’s car instead) and time wasted involved in doubtful conversations with mechanic and the runner regarding this insurance claim (everyone that I know of obviously lacking of car accident insurance claim knowledge, I was told in Miri city there is an insurance company agent paired up with a known mechanic workshop to con accident victims money, and the money never reached the victims’ hands even after a year).


So after three or four months later, if I can get the full claim for my repair and lost, I will tell you the name of the trustable runner and the mechanic, (or if they are the vultures!!) then if you run into accident, you can call them immediately to give you a hand!


Unlucky enough I found on last Wednesday, not just because on my 28 years of driving first time car accident happened to me, also I found that my Bali bamboo plant got stolen along the street of Stutong market! This Kuching city definitely needs someone brave who can kick nasty, stupid and careless assholes!




Note: Anyone who can help me and if you think something is wrong with the my above given information regarding my insurance claim please email me at: moneytaitai@gmail.com

THE BEST GIFT FOR MOTHERS’ DAY


Give your Chinese mothers a “FACE”!


He might be able becoming a famous crytologist if being educated under a feasible educational system, but his dad doesn't know what is called special education, so I think he is merely wasting time, playing ula and being abused under the stereo-type educational system, 9.5/10 teachers in his Chinese primary got temporary high blood pressure when they taught and tolerated a hyertactive kid in class.


Written by Money Tai Tai



Typical Chinese all want a “face” (dignity, pride and ego), if one lived amongst Chinese even initially she didn’t want to have a “face” but at the end of the day she would be forced under situations getting more awareness to learn becoming more aggressive, comparative and competitive to fight for her “battle” or else she would have to recess in her cocoon in receiving continuous pressure and odd remarks, worst still at the end of the day she even losed all her “face”, when she didn't successfully educate her children, her China-man-husband could give a very good excuse to dump her right on the time when she can’t produce anymore baby.


I received a phone call recently from someone who got used cat fights with me since young days, she said, “You know these days, when I go to church, so many people asks me if I can be their children’s god mother!”
I replied her meanly, “Oh yeah, don’t you remember those women even lazy to give you a stare when all your kids did badly at school during their young yesteryears?
“Yes, this is how realistic the world is!” She lamented.
“I don’t mind to tell you babe, you have finally received your best mothers’ day gift on recent years from your three kids!” I told her.
“What do you mean?” She asked.


“Well, no matter you carried Hermes or oversized LVs, no matter you drove Mercedes or BMW, no matter you wore Miu Miu or Lisa Ho to school on those yesteryears, name brand must blend with NUMBER ONE kids too. Do you know the fact that branded number 1 kids can also attract branded-tai-tai-mothers to you too? But if your children didn’t do well in school, if you are slightly flashy those nasty women would whisper behind and suspect if you are somebody’s second wife (mistress)! Hohoho….” I was playing her tail.
“Yes, you are right! Once they saw me in school talking to my sister-in-law, so they asked her if I was someone’s mistress, can't blame them too because those women never seem the kids’ daddy!” She explained
“Oh yeah, he returned at 3:00am and he was still sleeping in his 3rd stage when you sent them to school!” Another typical China-man businessman, though he was purely English educated, all because he still eats pork! Sure he has a very mean sister-in-law here, his wife didn't even complain, she becomes a tamed cat under a fierce tiger paw.


“Err… how about me now, I drive somebody’s 30 years old car, carry a cosmetic bag, wear used dresses and jobless, too bad that my two ducklings are behaving no different than monkeys and studying so badly in school, more ….. worst still your matched-made-husband for me informed me kindly that he won’t celebrate mothers’ day for me, because I have to wait for my children to grow up to let them celebrate it for me! He said he will celebrate it for his mom only!" My kids’ dad is a hopeless pro China person, except he was born a bit too late to be a CCO, I would feel like born a bit earlier to join RAK to give him a bullet on head, to let a brain surgery to crack open his brain! Instead look at his Mao‘s diets ….. he ate pork, chewed bamboo and drank mao tai, he feels that any Italian pasta, sashimi or western food can’t satisfy his stomach.


“You know I have an idea, why don’t you send your colicot let me take care of her before she goes to primary 1?” She suggested
I screamed, “What an offer? Sure!” I was thrilled
“Are you sure? You sure won’t miss her?” She probed.
“Why miss her? Sometimes before I felt like throwing her to the river, who knows I might do it one of these days, when I was so sick, completely fatigue and couldn’t even talk on bed, she insisted wanting me to make banana bread, I didn’t even have a proper oven or even a banana to make a small banana bread. That kind of sporatic ideas always would come out from her to non-stop mouth.” I lashed out my frustration.


I somehow believe my sister can take very good care of my little daughter better than me, experience talk, besides that when women comes the time when they can’t have their own little kids, they begin to like and appreciate babies and little kids …. not my time yet, may be I live long enough to fifteen years later, I will sure open my wide arms to embrace my nephew’s and niece’s little babies if they want to!


Happy Mothers’ Day to all happy mothers and unhappy mothers: Being happy mothers is your good fate; you sure will believe strongly there is a Jesus or God! For all unhappy mothers (like me) hopefully our situation is just a temporary matter, like my sister, she patiently gave all kinds of fertilizers for the plants full of spiky leaves, but only see those rare flowers blooming after 18 to 20 years! Very sarcastic, after twenty years now, she becomes a faithful Jesus believer!


Words for grown-up children: Please study hard, you have to give a face to your old mother, as she fosters you up to this age she had to sacrificed so many beauty sleep mornings to prepare you breakfast, dim sung and bring you to school. (Your Chinaman-dad wouldn’t do all these things for you) Especially when you attend universities now, you have to be sitting on the top; this is the time you proof yourself that you will be the best specialist in your future field or else …………… change your stream.
