a series of unfortunate events... not by lemony snicket

like the island the Baudelaire orphans find in The End, this story is plagued by no villain, but victims of mishaps, and littered information that will make you weep, and wonder what if that was me? except for my version is not in the island, and there were no Baudelaire orphans... and no villain.

ipoh, 25th April would be a day to remember. woke up early, felt happy and looking forward to what the day has to offer. we got ready, as zadey was already waiting for us to go for breakfast. as i was about to step out of the bedroom, heard a loud thud and next thing i knew hubs had extremely deep cuts on his back, blood were dripping or more like it flowed with the water and i felt all nauseous. he got ready, and we headed straight for the clinic. as we were waiting at clinic che'wan, the doctor informed me that hubs had to get stitched as the cuts were pretty deep. the smell of medicine and the environment made me feel sick to my stomach. according to hubs this was quite common. when he came out he told us that we had to wait a while longer til the doctor manages to check the x-ray, just in case if there was a fracture or some sort. waiting in agony, doctor said he was fine and that he got himself 15 stitches. zadey was extremely accommodating, and trying to get me to calm down. i was calm right? wasn't i? (ah well, maybe i looked nervous as hell).

as mentioned in the earlier blogs, hubs was extremely looking forward to playing badminton there, unfortunately this had to happen. had breakfast at hollywood, the usual spot zadey goes to for his breakfast, highly recommended to all. must admit there's nothing much to look at if you're one of those hoity-toity peeps, then don't bother... but the food they have to offer is worth it. zadey sent us back home right after, and he left for work and ran some errands.

did the usual stuff at home, relaxed and watched tv. later around 5 we felt kind of hungry, so we drove to the mc donalds drive thru. on the way we spoke to zadey and said this was just a temporary food ya, we're going out for dins. hubs had to eat his antibiotics and what not. got home as we were munching, iwan joined us. we were waiting for american idol to start... as the nuggets finished the boys munched on this heavenly brownies that i got from miss hani bani. thank you so much yang, but honestly its not good for me to bring it around! lady is brilliant, she cuts those brownies into bite pieces which makes you feel that you hadn't had much without realizing it you're onto your 4th piece!

after american idol, we decided to go for dinner in 1 car. we stood outside waited for zadey, as soon as he stepped out and locked the door, i looked at him and asked, "hey dey, the key's with you right? i left it on the table", he looked and smiled, "no it's not with me"... i thought he was joking... well he kid us not, he left it on the table thinking that i took it. oh-the-guilt! then we suggested that we should get a locksmith to unlock the door for us, but iwan said he might have a spare key at the office. so we said to the office then. zadey and iwan was arguing about which route was best to get to their office, but since zadey was driving he vetoed it! haha, it was funny. what wasn't funny was that we got onto the highway 1 minute too early, and we got stuck in the jam!

as we sat in the car and chat, we noticed that the cars weren't moving an inch. then suddenly we saw the bikers making thier way back in the opposite direction of us, we were wondering what the f...??? what is going on? the rest of the cars decided to just park on the highway, and sat outside to enjoy the breeze, NOT! each of us stood there not knowing what to expect. iwan asked one of the guys who had walked in front what was going on? the guy looked at us and said, well "ada bas accident, terbalik!" as soon as i heard that "Oh-oh, starvation will start now". FREAKING CRAP! last they had this people on the highway was stuck up to good 2 hours. oh gosh, please let us not get stuck here for 2 hours. we were pretty lucky the night wasn't hot at all. it seemed like we were all waiting for the street party to start you know, the amount of cars, trucks, lorries, that was there. damn! iwan and hadi decided that they wanted to go and see the accident, i told them if you guys actually want to go and see its better if you go and help. but somehow they were tossing with the idea... sat with us for a while and then they decided to go... they were extremely curious, zadey kept on telling me the office is just about 1.5 km away, seriously it wasn't far from where we had stopped but there was no movement. then we were smart enough to play the "what if" game...

what if you had the house key in your bag?
what if the spare keys are not in the office?
what if this, and that.... arrghhhh..... not funny!

finally, we saw some movements from the cars infront, yeay so i called hubs, and told them that we were picking them up. they were thinking of walking all the way to the office already. drove and saw a couple of accidents where the back of a waja car was totally smashed by the taxi and the passengers were sent to the hospital. then further up, the bus had rammed into another car! ergh, honestly it was bad... i hope they're all alright.

thank goodness as we got the keys at the office, it was the right spare key. people, honestly make sure you have your spare keys stacked up some where. just in case a series of unfortunate events hits your way. we were thinking if, iwan did not have the keys and if his keys were in zadeys' house we'd make our way back to kl... phew, thank goodness everything was 'A-Ok'.
