Today was supposed to be just another regular day at work where I started the day by sending my son to his school at Taman Desaminium. However Adam Farihin, 7 years old decided that today he would like to jam his thumb at the car's door. After that we spend half the day visiting clinics & the hospital to fix his finger.

At first I thought it was just a little thump at the car door but when Adam couldn't stop wailing, I quickly brought him to see a doctor at my panel clinic nearby. The doctor (who was fashionably late by the way) suggested that Adam probably broke his thumb and advised that we go to a hospital. However since I dont have any insurance coverage anymore, I had to rush home to pick up my wife and kids and go to her panel clinic in Serdang to get her doctor's letter of recommendation before finally going to a hospital in Kajang. Adam was still crying on top of his lung for most of that time.

To cut the story short, Adam had his finger scanned and the x-ray showed no bones were broken from the accident this morning. Lucky for us my wife's company had it all covered. I shudder to think should anything bad happens to me. Maybe I should consider buying my own personal insurance. Right.

Usually I would pick up the kids and wait for my wife to arrive from work at the Sungai Besi LRT station. But for the past 2 days, since the KTM commuter is not so crowded, we decided to meet there instead. Today while waiting as usual by the road side a car stopped next to me to drop off some passenger. I guess the passenger didn't look back while opening the door because suddenly a motorcyclist rammed into it and fell onto my car causing a sizable dent on my door.

Although it was the kid's fault who opened the door without looking, both the motorcyclist and I quickly started to blame the lady driver. We demanded that she pay up for the damages. The lady gave us a million excuse at first why it wasn't her fault but after some time she finally agreed to pay us some money. Although the money cannot cover all the damages done, at least it's something. My policeman father-in-law said in cases like this, there's a good chance I might walk away with nothing except to claim for insurance. Better settle there on the spot and get a least something.

Who would have thought just waiting on the roadside can get accident still. Well shit happens.
