Another close call

Thank God.

A while ago, I escaped a quite major accident within seconds.  Was driving home after gym on the road in front of TF Hartamas..on this road..most cars speed...me inclusive to a certain extend.  It was drizzling quite heavily tonight...so naturally and thankfully everyone slowed down and were more careful than usual.

Thankfully I was paying attention on the road and not dreaming nor sleeping, I was quite tired after the 2 hour workout..and still recovering from the trip.  Also thankful that I wasn't distracted by doing something else like adjusting the stereo volume etc etc...(a bad habit that I have). 

Anyway..we were on the road leading toward Penchala Link in front of TF.  All of a sudden the car in front of me came to a halt..and it's brake lights were not bright at all..thanks to my car's ABS system again. When the car in front of me moved away..I saw a black car crashed against the divider wall on the left...and ....there was another stationery taxi further up the road with a badly damaged front almost facing us after about 180 clockwise turn.  Not sure how it happened.  The taxi must have skidded, lost control and the other car tried to avoid crashing into the taxi.

Phew.

I had a similar experience around the same time last year ..but this time the accident was more serious.  Hope the drivers involved were alright.  I saw the taxi driver holding an umbrella about to alight from the car...so he should be alright.  Not sure about the other driver.


Hmmm.

Jogja - Sneak Preview

I'm back!

Decided not to spend the nite doing a full entry about the trip.

Actually, I haven't decided if I wanna do a single entry about the whole trip or to have a few short entries covering differerent places or topic of interests like..

..Places of interest

..Food

..People & streets

What do you think?

Meanwhile..here are some pics from Candi (Temple) Prambanan (a UNESCO Heritage World site) and one other temple as sneak preview.

Kit Kat "Working Like a Machine" Malaysian TVC

It's been a very very long time since I enjoyed watching a TV commercial.
Apparently this 'Working Like a Machine' campaign was launched in 2009 January in UK.

I only saw this Malaysian version TVC on Wednesday night (Feb 3rd,2010).
Not sure if it's a re-launch or the we are that late.

Very funny ad. Enjoy :)

Packing!

I'm not a seasoned traveller, hence, I get stressed out when I pack. Phobic that I may forget essentials...like..the passport! or sunnies...! or undies! ...etc etc etc.

Most times, I jot down the essentials as and when I remember sonething important and tick them off before I leave home.

This time is a bit different.  The flight to Yogja will only be on Friday early morning but I really should be readily packed by..NOW...cos I will be sleeping over at Mich's tomorrow night so that we can share a cab to LCCT on Friday.  There won't be any time to pack tomorrow evening.

BTW..flight's at 7am!


Here..take a peek at my 'check list' :D

I myself..find it funny.  I work out my list based on my body parts.  For instance...

HAIR - I will need shampoo, conditioner, gel
HEAD - cap, sunnies, eyedrop


Siao.

Anyway...I'm still hoping to be able to squeeze in a gym session tomorrow.  Evening is not advisable cos it will be so rushed..(I gotta pick up Fel from the commuter station at 8.30pm).  I was planning to go today's night class...but missed it because of the chaotic traffic.  I only arrived for my tea appointment at 7.45pm...that was like an hour late! 

I didn't have the heart to stay for 15 mins and leave.


I should head to bed now...you think I can wake up for at 6am tomorrow..so that I can go for the early morning RPM???
