Bang bang

when u are too confident or you are just taking thing for granted, somehow, it will get you into some unexpected situation.

As i was heading heading home unusually early from work...okey, i lied, its a norm thing, but that's besides the point! AAAANYWAY, since i am heading home early, obviously i cant make any toll claims as i would not like to see how my boss looks like when the receipts stated there 3pm. So i used my own smart tag to go through the toll.

Just like what most of the people would do, i slowed down to around 40km/h (okey, maybe its 60 km/h), as i was entering the smart tag lane.

"beep"
Sweet, no need to slow down further.
50cm: eh, the barrier seems a bit slow
30cm: ok, this is REAL slow
15cm: BREAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK~~~~
5cm: !@#%$!#$$!$#

the break sound was so overwhelming that i pay no attention to the colliding sound. Alarm begun to ring while the metal barrier beginning to swing to the side. Its quite impressive that the palang thingy got a security pin in which when a car hit it, it would drop down by about 10cm to reduce the impact then only swing it to the side.

At the end of the day, my car left unscratched, but i still made a complaint to avoid more driver being victimized.

My question on what would happen if i hit the metal thingy was answered today in the most practical way. So, i was happy :)

see, life can be fun.
