at first i also thought settle on your own better... but then if your fren's cousin help... and maybe your fren tell her mom and all... maybe he wouldn't dare anyhow charge you... i mean it'll be better that way lah... cause if you're on your own he'll just heck care loh... but then you can't ask your fren to help also... she has to help you on her own free will lah.. anyway my case i also wanted to settle myself cause andrew's leaving the country and i don't want to bother his mom... but then his mom say help so they won't anyhow overcharge me... according to them when the neighbour's daughter's car got hit they went to redo the whole exterior and made the other party pay all... amounted to a few thousand... then later sell it off... can you believe them? so she help me lah... but then until andrew's mom still haven't tell me how much lah... she wanted to pay for me... feel damn paiseh bout tat... anyway i'm going to ask her again soon... your parents coming back already or not??? otherwise you're just going to see the car yourself? or yeah my car got only a tiny weeny scratch lah... their car got 3 thin lines of scratches lah... oh well...
