RICKY'S ACCIDENT

A long day. Cousin brother, Ricky (Yes, after Ricky Martin. No, he doesn’t look like William Hung) was involved in an accident in our housing area this afternoon. The person who caused this accident, a 17-year old boy who just got his license the first day of this month!

Boy! He was so scared that I could hear his balls shrink!

Ricky was on his way to buy a newspaper when it happened. The shrinking balls guy (SBG) did not flash his car’s signal when he made a turn. So, Ricky did not have enough time to brake. He hit the car and fell.

He hurt his left arm and sustained cuts all over his hands, shoulders and feet.

Ricky called home and said that he was involved in an accident. SBG was waiting for his dad to tell him what to do. Boy. He totally freaked out. This incident would haunt him forever. His dad’s face was plastered with a confused and worried look when he came. We had to send him to the hospital.

Chatted with SBG’s father while waiting for Ricky to get medical attention. SBG’s dad was also scared shitless that we might lodge a police report against his son. I assured him that we will not lodge police report since it will cause his son to lose his license. Let this be a reminder to him to be more careful in near future.

Since the son and the dad being really polite and nice people, AND they were from Taiping, we decide to give it a miss and just let him settle the bill of repairing the motorbike and the hospital bills.

The hospital bill came to a zero. We went to Selayang Hospital. Waited about 2 hours since the docs there think this is not a critical case. Good thing that Ricky will be fine. Just a minor muscle stretch and, after a few days of rest, he would be ok. All these happened a week before his application to local university is confirmed. Sigh.
