First thing you will note that I do not have a title for this post. But seriously, who reads the titles anyway? I really should stop racking my brains trying to think of titles for my blog posts when I really don't have a central theme of discussion for a particular post.
There was once someone asked me “Hey, Brandon, what’s your most unforgettable event?”. By that of what I considered as spontaneous question, I really couldn’t sort out any of any events I’ve encountered in my life which was really unforgettable
– yet I have an answer now.
24 September 2008, 10AM at Jalan Cheras Kajang – I was driving at roughly 110km/hour. Tweeting at the mall, what mall was that, it was Leisure Mall just on my right hand side. I was rolling along the path was like racing with other cars, compete for victory - and by all sudden, from tempo over speed, my car is out of brake…
It was all in the sudden, fortunate or unfortunate(ly), in the midst of all transports which were in same speed has granted me 1 minutes to decelerate my car before had to stop at the Maluri roundabout (As if could reached the roundabout, maybe had crashed before that) =(
20-30 seconds were used to keep pressing the brake paddle, thoughts, “why the brake isn’t working”, “what the hell is your problem” –
There are faces appeared in my mind, and they are now known as the most unforgettable person in my life.
Dad and Mom – waiting me for reunion dinner on Thursday
Kay and Irene – I promised I will get you both ayam pecik tonight
Irise – I want to go Moscow for your graduation
Richard – I have 400 Legionnaires in Travian
Shu yun – I owe you for my ages
Frances – I wanted to see you, BABI
Jenny Hui Ling - 5764km away
Kelsey and Wen Yi – I was seriously thinking the plan to visit you both at Genting Highland before the brake-off
Loo Ping – You promised will train Badminton with me for the Cheras Championship
Sin Yin – Ohmy, I’m sorry

…Out of the blue, the brake was back on service and the car seriously stopped at the middle of the road. The sudden stop hurts both of my hands and at that time, I scolded “WTF”, “What is wrong with you damnit”
Cars after me were horning me, I was forced to continue the drive. And all the while to Maluri, the brake was working fine - although it was, I still need to circumspect in case... So, I sent it to an unknown car workshop in Maluri. They said that my car’s master pump’s oil leaked, have to send it to Perodua Service Centre. No reason to obey it so i sent it to the service centre at Desa Tun Razak. Oh damn… my car has to be hospitalized for one night, and damn, I took a cab back to college for the an-hour-late class.
Sighing for my own, sighing to my fella classmates “OH MY CAR…” I was then took a bus back to Sungai Long – the bus stopped just in front of Green Acre Park, walking thru the garden, park and swimming pool, searching something on a out of billion bricks, sighing, it has gone.. Slowly dissembled from my memory, memoirs to become all it is capable of becoming, by all myth and legend, it’s just a past tense..
