Nonnie, a murderer?

Okay, those who read my Twitter should know that I... ran over a monkey yesterday.

Damn guilty can die.... *sob*

I WAS A MURDERER!!!!

Not to say that I'm kind or what, but I do believe in karma and try my best not to kill... even the most irritating mosquitoes.

So you can imagine how bad I felt after that incident...

* * * * *

It happened yesterday at around 6+pm, when I was on way back home. As usual, I'll choose the highway than the main road because it has less cars and less "simpangs" for people to turn in. I swear, I wasn't driving very fast... at least for me. I thought it was average to drive at 100km/hr. No?

And so while driving, the monkey dashed out from no where running as fast as it could and crossed the road. Maybe it's rushing back home for it's wife/ husband or babies.. or maybe it's suicidal I don't know..

It just happened so sudden and I tried my best to brake and quickly shifted my wheel to the right to avoid it but there was a car coming from the opposite lane so I couldn't twist too much else I'll have a head on collision. And the next thing I know is.. I heard a sound and I felt that my tyre ran over something...

I looked at my rear view mirror to check on the monkey. I saw a little movement from the monkey albeit it was still lying on the road... I panicked, cried a little, keep praying to Buddha hoping that the monkey will stay alive and asked for forgiveness, pulled over and SMS-ed Bobby telling him what just happened and how I felt.

I thought, "What if the monkey is rushing home for his babies and wife? I'd separated them forever. I'm a sinner!"

Of course, he told me that it wasn't intentional so it's not my fault, and tried to cheer me up by saying, "Who knows the monkey is a bad bad monkey? A thief or a maybe pervert?" .But still... I felt that I'm a killer.

I arrived home and checked my car. No blood splash, no rotten brain, no nothing... just a small crack at the bottom of my bumper and a minor dent that can be missed. And also a small black plastic thing came off.

Well.. I took that as my punishment. It was my fault.

* * *

And today while on my way to work... (I used the same road everyday), I wanted to check if the monkey's body is still lying on the middle of the road and kana cars flattened until intestines also come out liao. But it wasn't there!

I felt relieved!

I guess the monkey did survived after all.. =)

If you don't live in Brunei and you're thinking that probably the public cleaners or something like that had clean up the road, sorry ah.... But my experience tells me that we're not that efficient yet.

It was no surprise to see dead bodies along the road. 1 day, 2 days, 3 days... it's still there. Sometimes even sampai it got all decomposed and get all stuck on don't know who's car tyres.

Happy Happy!

My chantings and prayers to God do work!

p/s: Iwan, we don't get penalized for running over animals here. Singapore ada kah?

I went to a workshop and get the black plastic thingie fixed back in. The mechanic, who happens to be sort of my friend.. (or my mum's because they more "kawan") teased me and asked why didn't I 英雄救美 (Hero save beauty) and save the monkey? Said that I was ruthless and so on.

-_-"

And so I answered him, "Apalah... You expect me 美女救嗎騮 (ma-lau = monkey) and crashed myself to the car from the opposite? Or braked as hard as I could and later my car's butt kana kissed by the car from behind?" - Hehhee, I dare to joke back because I know I didn't kill it.

(美女救嗎騮 - beauty save monkey)

I told him that I think I didn't kill the monkey since it wasn't there anymore. Sekali he said probably someone might had picked it up and had the scrumptious fresh monkey brain on the table ready to serve.

Disgusting...
