ok, i guess i should update this with something. yesterday my dad had an accident which was not his fault. Yesterday morning he was waiting for us in the carpark when some other car (Toyota) turned in and grazed the corner rear bumper. I had just got out of the lift when i heard a loud bang and was wondering what happened. Only then when i saw ppl staring at another car and when my dad got out was when i finally realised that we had a situation. Ok, so the car didn't stop and continue its way which bewildered us alot for a few seconds. My dad told us to get in and chase the guy. And it was the first time i've seen my dad drive so fast in the carpark..i think it broke my speed record too. Luckily as we were coming out of the HDB carpark, there was a traffic jam so we parked on the side of the road, got out and confronted the guy who acted like he didn't know anything. He basically looked at his own car bumper and came over to look at ours and gave his namecard. Of course we took down the license plate number which was the most important. Ok to cut a long story short, this morning he went to visit the guy who was in the next block with a bunch of documents which he got from the insurance company. So that guy didn't want to pay for fixing at the Nissan workshop so bo bian lor, got to have insurance settle it. Well, moral of the story?? You never know the proper procedure for handling car insurance claims until you kenna or you bother to study it first. And a bigger moral is, even if your car is stationary, YOU STILL CAN GET ACCIDENT! Ok, i thought of an even bigger moral. My dad handled the situation very well. He was calm and didn't try to provoke the other guy or get into an argument. And thankfully i heard from him that the other guy was quite gentlemen too this morning. So, ya, that reminds me of a text.

NASB: A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1


So, when you meet such injustice in your life by ridiculous people, the right way to handle it is to be calm and allow God to handle it through you.
