Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?


Please don't hate me after reading this... really =S


True story..


Dad came back with mom's car as it was in the workshop earlier today..he drove it back to test drive it 1 more time in case the air-conditioner is still not working. So then I had to drive my father to his car, which was at the workshop too. I turned right from my house and was facing a long stretch of road..with houses on both sides. As i shifted to 2nd gear and at this point, I was was close to the 1st house on my left, I saw a chicken..a very tall black chicken with patchy feathers on its neck area (Ayam kampong bahh..can't miss it..long legs and all.. lol) rummaging around the rubbish bin outside that house.


Any sensible person (Like me, yes) will at least slow down right? I did. Mind you, I wasn't driving fast ok! Maybe around 20km/h, 30 max I'd give. So after slowing the car, the chicken of course, startled by the loud sound by the Trooper, ran amok. LOL.


It ran across the road, which was to my right side. So I thought..well, maybe it has crossed the road.


Wrong move..


I guess the chicken hesitated in between running. I accelerated (slowly) and suddenly I felt a soft bump after I passed the house. I didn't see no signs of chicken to my right. I panicked.


Then I looked at the side mirror where dad was sitting..I saw red red stuff and black thingy. So I think out loud..OMG the chicken is dead (in Chinese) to which my dad confirmed "Ya, die already" after he turned his head to check it out...


My legs became nua...hands, shaky.


I just ran over a chicken...


I couldn't stop thinking about it and I felt so bad..I told Ching and Ming about it..Ching's advise helped a bit as I was feeling better. But what Ming said really pulled my guiltiness to the next level. Lol.


After I dropped dad by the road, I drove home. I knew that I did something terribly bad, I avoided using that stretch of road, in case someone saw me..oh god I hope not!!! =S I kam guan drive 1 damn big round to use the other road that links to my house.. and on my way home, I will still face the same stretch of road I used earlier this morning. =__________=


It didn't help..there, in front of me, I saw the 1/2 flattened 1/2 unflattened chicken in the middle of the road. AND. 2 or 3 medium sized chicken were roaming around that dead chicken. I thought the dead chicken was moving then I realised that the wind blew the feathers of it to make it look as if it was still moving.... hmmmm. Or was it my eyes?? lol.


Anyway, I told Ming that there were smaller chix around it and you know what he said? He said maybe thats the anak!!! OHMYYY.. I felt even scared and sad and...well a mixture of feelings =________=


But I'm OKAY now.. feeling much better. That chicken belongs...nay...Belonged to my friend's father.. lol. And a few years ago, he killed (accident) my Mickey too. My poor teenage dog was hit by his car (but didn't run over la) and he died within minutes. Mickey was just at the side of the road..dunno how that happened. My sis was there to witness though. I think. lol.


So in case that man accused me of doing that to his poorly kept, loose chicken, which should be kept in a proper fenced area (The fence doesn't look secured. lol holes and all) I'll use that against him. LOL. Not that I want to. lol..It was ages ago. And its not like I had the intention to kill that chicken right?


People tell me they've ran over animals like..frogs, cats and dogs, the usual
as they just chiong ahhhh everytime they see a car coming...and the unusual one will be birds flying in front of their windscreen and snakes slithering on the road. But chicken?? That's first for me. LOL.


Ans: The chicken crossed the road so that it can get to the other side of it..but hesitated in between action. lol.
