tipped!

i have joined the ranks of malaysians who gape at road accidents, today. but one couldn't help but look (and one had to carefully make one's way round the police-guarded heap of metal anyway) - a concrete mixer had flipped on its side at the junction of jalan ara and jalan maarof near the mobil station. from the position of the ill-fated vehicle, it looked as if it was coming down jalan ara at considerable speed and momentum, and flipped as it attemped to brake and turn left. hope nobody was hurt!

trivia: at this same junction, many years back, a lorry had lost control while speeding down jalan ara (which starts to slope rather steeply downhill towards the junction from quite a distance back), and plunged right into the compound of the house situated at the junction. - an incident my mom used to like to use as an example of a logical explanation behind the superstition that it's bad luck to have a house situated at a T-junction!
