entry the sixteenth: And now I know why karangan is important...
First of all, I want apologize to Fuad, Ida and Ehsan because I can't make it on yesterday. What you about to read will make you understand why. Jom keluar next Saturday!
On Friday, someone hit my car from the back and ran. Yup, it is the classic hit-and-run. I was on my way back from Loi's place and suddenly a car just langgar me from belakang. Celaka. Baru buat paint job okay? So yesterday I went to Puchong to make a police report since the accident occured at Puchong Perdana. And thus the title came to the story.
I always wonder what is so important to learn how to write karangan (essay)? Well apart of being a journalist or a book writer (textbooks or novels), or to write for surat-menyurat (letter sending), you need karangan to write a police report. Seriously. The policewoman even told me "Macam tulis karangan" (just like writing an essay). And I'm so bad at Bahasa Malaysia. So my police report went like this:

Believe it or not, the part selepas melepasi made me laugh. Even when I write that part, I tergelak. See how bad my Bahasa Malaysia? I was never proud of my Bahasa in the first place. But I'm happy with my Bahasa Pasar. The one we might call Manglish. Rojak lah. And the part where the Wira drove more than 140km/h, well the policeman said to me "Nombor plat tak nampak tapi meter dier you nampak. Hebat!" (How great that you can see the speedometer instead the plate number)
At last I watched Transformers. It was nice and I love it. My childhood memories is safe and sound. Read more at Caramel Popcorn Sucks.
Here are some pictures I took with my phone. So malas to take pictures nowadays.
