It was around 3.45 a.m. and we were waiting at the traffic light on the way home from a friend's place.. Suddenly we felt the car shudder and heard a loud scraping sound.
In the moments it took us to realize that our car had been "hit" (Actually, it was more like "scraped", but it felt like it at the time... lol), the guy had squeezed through the gap between our car and the barrier (knocking a few blocks down in the process) and sped through a red light.
At first we thought he'd been drunk. Then I turn around.. and see blue lights flashing behind our car. And the sound of a horn blasting several times and impatient shouting indicated that it was friggin' police chase... And the policemen were caught behind a line of cars at a red traffic light!
*Note to self* Now, if this was the movies, the police car would've taken the same route as the crazy driver - between the cars and the barrier. They wouldn't have CARED how many cars smashed into each other as a result of trying to avoid both the getaway car AND the police car. BOOOM! BAANG! CRASH! (Er... don't mind me.)
But this wasn't the movies, unfortunately. This was real life. And the Malaysian police are surprisingly thoughtful people. I guess that can be a bad thing (lol), but they waited til the cars in front got the picture and moved aside before TOTALLY speeding off, trying to catch up with that nut.
I hope they caught him. Bloody crazy loon.
One thing though - the police car should've had it's f-in siren on! How the heck are people supposed to move out of the way when they don't KNOW that there's a bloody police chase going on eh? *shakes head in wonder*
And before you think I had too much wine to drink last night (I, unfortunately, didn't have ENOUGH! Muahahaha...*sobs* Sorry.), this really did happen. My dad's car has got the scrapes to prove it. *grins at all family members* Okay, but trust me, even with the existing scrapes, these stand out pretty clearly.
Poor policemen, though. It must've been frustrating, trying to do the right thing, but knowing that your quarry is getting further and further away by the milisecond. I salute them policemen. IMHO, they should be the highest paid people in the country. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, kudos to all policemen... and thank you!
Which brings me to another topic. Now, before y'all think I'm obsessing about Mr. Drownable (as my friends have dubbed him *rolls eyes* lol) again, I'll just tell you that I'm over that. I actually enjoy being "just friends". It totally takes away the pressure... and life is so much more fun that way, don't you think? :) I like this just friends situation.
Whatever else may be said about him, he's a smart kid. A heck of a lot smarter than me, as is apparent right now. LOL. I should've listened to him a loooong time ago.
Anyway. Back to mentioned topic. You know the song, I Need A Hero I posted a couple of months back? Well.. That song's been playing over and over and over and over in my head... and influencing my thoughts. And my problem is, it's fixated on some poor soul in particular to fulfill the role.
Bah. Humbug. (It's Christmas.. it's appropriate to sound like ol' Ebenezer Scrooge... hehe.)
Men in uniform. That's my weakness. *knocks self on head* GET OVER IT, silly girl!
Ah well. MERRY CHRISTMAS again all!
This has probably been the strangest Christmas morning of my life - ever! :)
