Last week, I started my week with a BANG! and this week with another BANG!.
A motorcyclist hit my car (a.k.a my mum's car) on my way to work, and this time it wasn't my fault, I drove the car ethically with all the necessary practices of a good driver. Both of us pulled over our vehicles and started to discuss on a settlement, with a help of an uncle who witnessed the whole incident. After 10 minutes of discussion, the rider paid me a substantial amount as settlement (cross my finger it is enough to cover for the repair) and I drove directly to work. I really wanted to lose my temper there and then, give my piece of my mind but instead I opted to discuss in a mature manner. No shouting, no blaming, just underlying the options that he was about to face. (with a very stern look and strict voice)
At work, I told a colleague of the incident, in which it was shared with the whole department, all of them looked at me said,"You must be jinx or something, twice in a row, and both are on Monday". I smiled and said "Shit happen, the only thing is, now it happened to me, well suck it up and move on". I am not trying to show how "redha" I am with the incident, there nothing much I can do, just to get it fixed and move on my merry way. Well, as a gesture of good faith, a colleague printed out "Doa tolak bala" and "Doa keselamatan" and gave them to me.
Another Monday, another BANG!
Another Monday, another BANG!

Owkey, I will try my best, two bangs consecutively is quite tiring, too much emotional drama.
Emotional and financial drama of the variety not wanted.
