Anatomy of a Pariah

It's supposedly a good morning after a great and succesfful Penang International Bridge Run. I participated this run for my 3rd time since I was born and it has always been fun to run a marathon with whole bunch of crowd with you. This year saw an increase of the number of participants and sponsors for the event. Yes,increase of participants means bad news for the traffis woes in Penang too. I was driving there with one my of acquiantances who's going to leave penang for KL to study. I thought it would be great to spend some quality times together because most of my acquiantances will be all at far far away. There were a series of event that led to this totally mind blogging incidence which is absolutely absurd. His car was parked at the prominet or accident prone area which is at a junction!!!!!That time the traffic is super heavy because they closed the road. So....i was quite tired that time and wanted to rush back to the apartment to have a shower and a nap before going back to Butterworth. When i tried to turn left out of the junction, I grazed his car and his car was nothing wrong other than the paint was scartch and my car's more serious then his(milo tin car....u know what will happen...the metal plated moved inwards)...I was very fumed and that time because the god damn driver(apparently not the driver which sat inside the driver's seat.Initially i thought he was driving the car and waited at the back of his car till the moment is turn out of the junction but he just won't). That stupid person speaks cantonese like he's an outsider so that we'll let him out. But,he called the real driver to come after 15 minutes. Here comes the driver. Middle aged guy came to talk with me and he's quite polite without raising his voice. So, i told him that i did nothing wrong and i don't have to compensate him for what i've done and it's Him that should compensate me for obsturcting the traffic or park dangerously and caused inconvenience for us pity motorist. We had a very long conversation as he insisted that i should pay him and I denied it. He said that that's not his car but is his company's car. I asked him.."so if it's your company car then you can simply park it then". He said that " now you don't have to talk about law. I parked here it's police's problem because i broke the law. But now it's you who've grazed my car,so you have to make some compensation" sigh...Keras KEPALA!!! So...time has passed for 1 hour!!!! My patience has wore out and I wanted to settle it fast. Finally, I said.."i can only pay you Rm10...you know i'm a student and it's my father's car. You also said that we ran the Penang Bridge together so we don't have to make it a big matter..I gave up."He agreed.

Conclusion....I'm not that happy because I got screwed by my parents for that and lost rm10(nice deal although it should've been him paying me the compensation). I've gave in. It showed i lack of persevearance....Maybe this will serve as a reminder for the future...

The end.

What do you guys think?
