Its all wrong..

I was on my way to Senayan city to meet up a bunch of friends after picking up my friend somewhere in Green Garden. I was also with my younger sister, my aunt and her 10 year old daugher. Normally I would go through the familiar route of Permata Hijau. But looking at the traffic, I doubt that we'll get there in an hour (in which I'm already 2 hours late, coz I had to take my car for its first check up). So my friend and I thought of another route that we can take, we decided to go through Angke tollway.

I was already panicking coz there were a lot of big trucks, basically they just want to crush my little tiny car (according to me). Which is why I missed the red light, didn't see the red light at all. Suddenly this fat- ugly policeman stood in front of my car and told me to pull over. I was panicking real bad!! He said I ran over red light and asked for my driver's license and STNK. The first stupid thing, I took out my wallet searching for my STNK in front of the policeman where his dollar-sign-eye starts wandering around looking at the insides of my wallet. The second stupid thing, I didn't bring my freaking STNK coz I just got my car checked up earlier and my dad forgot to give it to me. The third stupid thing, he asked me to call my dad and make sure the STNK was with him, and panicking, I took out my big-fat-PDA phone and called him. (By then, i think the policeman knew that he just caught the perfect victim). The fourth stupid thing, he asked me to get out of the car to sign something and walked towards his police car, and I did. Later in the day, after my friends had enough of mocking me, they told me to always settle things when we're still inside the car.

He said I have 2 options, he had to take me and the car to the police station and settle it there, OR, he will give me a letter and I need to go to the court to claim it back. He then said 'Tapi mbak, saya sarankan mbak ikut saya ke kantor polisi saja, karena kalo sampe ke pengadilan, mobil mbak mungkin harus kena 15 jutaan baru bisa diambil lagi'. What the hell!!!! I told him this is the first time I ever go through that road and didn't see the traffic light and the truck in front of me went through red light as well, why didn't he get him instead. And he told me that he only saw my car.. (yeah right, those trucks would not have enough cash on them).

So he said he'll settle it right there and then.. 150 thousands for the red light, and 350 thousands for not having the STNK and that makes a total of 500 thousands. I said I didn't bring enough cash, and he said 'okay then, I'll help you out, since you look like a nice woman (in which his eyes wonders at my chest area a.k.a low cut shirt) just pay 350 thousands for not having the STNK. My friend got worried coz I've stood there for almost 15 minutes, she got off the car and passed me more money and I told the police 'This is all I got'. He actually had the nerve to ask me 'Berapa itu mbak?' He then said 'yaahh.. mana cukup' eventually he nodded and asked me to sign the release form.

I got ripped off 200 thousands by the stinking-fat-ugly-pervert policeman.

and it doesn't stop there.. my whole bunch of friends just couldn't stop making fun of what happened to me.

The good thing was, all of my friends kindly offered to pick me up next week. *grin*

A thought

I choose to be alone
not because I had to
but because I want to
coz being alone..
means no one will hurt me.
