Ahfook’s stories

Sad but true… Sad to those good policemen (if there is any), sad to be Malaysian, sad on the government, sad… sad… sad…

Yesterday when I went to meet my dear in Ampang, I was turned in from MRR2 into the main road heading to Dagang, suddenly a motor jus turned out from the right junction and cross in front of me, i was able to break my my car and gave the motor a long horn. However the motorist lost his balance due to panic and fall down. I stopped my car aside and saw the passenger of the motor took his helmet and seems like want to hit my car with his helmet but he didn’t do that. Those were 2 drunken Indian men, old father and son. There was a kancil stopped behind of me and then 3 Indian men get down from the car. They approached and asked about the situation. The 2 motorists were still yelling around and asked RM50 from me for compensation.

I was explained to those Indian guys, I was came straight and the motor just drove out fast from the right junction without stopped and observed both sides, not possible for me to pay him compensation. Those guys also agree with me, and told the motorists it’s their fault. The motorists saw I am not paying the compensation and yelled to make police report, those Indian guys also adviced me to make police report. So after picking up my dear, we just went to Ampang traffic police station to make police report.

When I reached there, the drunken motorists already told the police their own version of story at the police station gate. Then the policeman asked me into office and asked about my story. I’ve just told them the real story, and the policeman said that the motorists claimed that I hit them. So I brought the policeman and showed him my car which has no scratch at all. The policemen knew that it was the Indian motorists’ fault too, and created false story, and asked them to leave the police station, else will charge them for drunken driving. However the old Indian still insist to make police report at second day and then left the police station.

I was glad that Rachel recommended me to make police report, if not the policemen might believe to the drunken old man and send me a summon. And Rachel told me that one of her friends also met this kind of situation, her friend paid for the compensation, but still receiving a summon and called to court. Because the motorist accepted the compensation but still went to make police report and charged her friend to the court.

So beware my friends, if you think you are right, just go and make a police report, waste little time on making police report better than waste more time in the court.

Waited for years, yesterday finally accomplished my wish - getting a tattoo… And the great thing is… I did it with my love one, Rachel…

Location was Borneo Ink in Desa Hartamas, by the tattoo artist Eddie. I was quite nervous and anxious, luckly Rachel was with me comfort me and calm me down. The tattoo design I found on Google image search, and requested Eddie to simplify it. Eddie is indeed good and able to scatch out a good design to fit on my right arm. So after some professional preparation and explainantion (important!), Eddie started to scatch the design on my arm, after I confirmed ok, he started the tattoo process by drawing the outline.

It was quite pain (imagine a needle sting on your skin thousand times per second), especially spots on the bone area (I should be get fat before getting tattoo). Luckly Rachel’s grip was greatly reduced the pain. It was cold too because it was raining and the aircond kept on blowing cold wind, I was once worry will sneeze and destroy the tattoo…

Anyway the pain was too deep, and I’ve requested for a break after an hour and had a cigarette to relief the pain and tension. After that the tattoo was continue and finished in around 45 minutes time, including applying ointment and protection.

Next was my dear Rachel’s turn. She wanted to extend her Candy Lo’s tattoo to a totally different desgin and make it darker. Briliant Eddie just sketched on her arm and then a cooler design was came out in minutes. After confirmed by Rachel, Eddie started his second round of tattoo. Rachel’s extension took shorter time, but her pain was great too. (She told me that previous tattoo wasn’t as pain as this time).

After ointment and protection, Eddie has given us lot’s of advice on maitain the tattoos. My tattoo cost me RM450 and Rachel’s extension just RM150.

Here are some tips on tattoo:
- Make sure the tattoo artist is qualified and certified.
- Make sure the equipment is new and unused, old equipment should be sterilized.
- Follow and obey the instructions of tattoo artist.
- Keep breathing, relax and don’t fight the pain with your muscle.
- Call for break if feel dizzy and can’t stand the pain, cold water is good to calm down.
- Bring your loved one, their encouragement and grip are the best pain killer. Thanks to my dear Rachel accompany me in that hard time, extremly pain on my arm but wonderfully sweet in my heart…
