Phew!!! My ever first in driving history!!!

I'm glad that I am still here to update my blog. After the driving thrill that I've just gone through, I have a sigh of relief. Relieving that I was day dreaming just now while driving.

Today is my ever first time to see a real accident happening just in front of my car. My normal style of driving would be fast and furious and I am just like to speed. When i am on the fast lane, I will just follow closely at the back, giving the front driver pressure to go away. When follow closely has fail, I will give right signal + follow closely. When these two have fail, I will just flash him/her my headlight. Keep repeating the above until it moves to the left lane except i can overtake him/her on the left lane.

However, today i'm just not at the mood to speed, but still on the fast lane. I saw a black car (since i do not know the brand, i will just name it blackie) doing the same thing as what i've mentioned above. The Saga in front of him was just dull enough and keep at his own lane. Until certain point of time, this blackie wanna overtake the Saga using the narrow space left on the right lane with another 1m to the divider.

As normal drivers will know, the empty space just near the divider is overspread with sands and dusts. Blackie already fail in his first attempt to utilise this space, his wheels are on sandy area, and he just brake!

What happened next?

I saw him as if like those in the racing movies, having a u-turn through drifting. I can hear the prolonged braking sound, and I was just stunned and quickly have emergency brake. This blackie just lost control and bang to left side. I have no idea what's going to happen next and i just cant get my mind focus and keep driving at a low speed. My heartbeat should be above the normal by then.

I was glad that today I did not follow the blackie so close as i stil have a buffer time to stop. Else, i will be the victim as well. Hopefully those victims in blackie are safe and not injured seriously.

Besides the first of the above, I have another first during my last travel back to Kampar. I do not know why I like to day dream recently while driving.

I missed the exit toll (Tapah) to my house and i was forced to go one station further (Gopeng) and make a big u turn back. This was my first time on the highway between Tapah and Gopeng. As my house is just somewhere in between this two places, I will take the old road if i wanna go Ipoh / Bidor but not the highway. I observed around, and there are alot of greenery along the way. That is not something which can be seen along my way back to KL.

On the same day at night, I day dreamed again and I nearly knock down a motorbike under the rain. I was at the junction turning to my house and i did not expect any things coming from behind to overtake me from my left. I just turned and I heard horn sound with some other 'bi li bu lok' sound. In my heart, SHIT!!!. I'm not at high speed and i just say sorry to the rider through my body gesture. He did not fell down but just scared by me. A deep sorry to him.

Haiz, I do not know why I behave like this recently and i need to be more focus!!!! Damn!

5C's / 7C's

I have attended a full moon dinner not long ago. I met one of my cousin brother who has just got his SPM result. All the relatives were concerning about his results. And of course, previously I was the benchmark of Loh's family for obtaining the highest number of A's in most of the major exams and my cousin sister had pull me down off the fame. =)

But for non-Loh's family member who are my relatives as well, many of them did much more better than me and they were graduated overseas. Anyway, all of these are not my main concern for today topic. LOL.

Back to my cousin brother, he proudly announced that he obtained 7A's in his SPM. They were discussing about his future path, road to be taken, field to enter, etc. Toward the end, my 'stupid' uncle popped out with this sentence.

"Ah Yao (my cousin brother's name), nowadays we are no longer looking at how many A's you have got. Its all about how many C's you have. If you have 10A's but without the 5C's, it is useless as well. Instead of getting 7A's, why not you get 7C's."

All of us know what are the 5C's that a man should have in his lifetime. A man without this five would doomed to be fail in his life. Let's refresh what's are the 5C's.

1 C : Cash (I have petty cash, LOL)
2 C : Card (Have few with low credit limit,LOL)
3 C : Car (I think i own about 20% of it? )
4 C : Condominium (I'm living in a terrace house but it's my family property, hence the one that im greatly lacking of.)
5 C : Career ( I believe i've a pretty good career path lying ahead of me. )

So what we need to acquire if we need 7C's? What are the additional 2? To be honest, I have no idea of it. I am having a pure guess. Any others have some recommendation to fill up the 2 C's?

My guess:

6 C : Certificate ( Something that i already have before coming to the working life)
7 C : Charm (which i guess forever i wil not fit into this adjective. haiz.. )
