So-called "Scary" Nadya got a scare

The reason I tied in the name "Scary" Nadya to the scare was due to the fact that, it so happened that on the night Nadya got involved in a 7-car sandwich accident, the Astro people came to do a recording for a follow-up on Astro Blast Off.

Yep, Nadya got into an accident last Saturday, 22 October 2005 onher way to work. She got away with non-bleeding injuries, but a whole bunch of wrecked tissues internally.

Though she stopped in time, behind her five cars knocked bumper to bumper, eventually pushing her Kelisa's nose to hit the Volvo's butt. So her Kelisa was trashed, and the Volvo in front of her who jammed on the brakes to a dead stop due to a ciloking Kancil escaped with a few scratches.

"I felt my car shrinking, smaller and smaller after each bang," says Nadya to some twenty well-wishers who visited her at the band's room in Holiday Inn.

She later told everyone that despite being clearly in pain, she managed to get doctors to discharge her out of University Hospital on the same night after the X-rays sessions were done. Apparently the wailing of an old lady next to her bed was adding too much depression to her already sorry state.

After getting over the initial shock, Nadya, Superfriends and close associates actually had quite a gathering. Najuib revealed that he actually handed over Nadya to an good Samaritan Indian bloke while trying to cross the Federal Highway on foot to his car on the other side of the accident scene... so that he could help Zam open the car's boot and get the kerepeks to safety!


^ Najuib claims he just had to pass Nadya to the B.O-stenched guy as Federal Highway's divider was too wide to cross.

All Nadya could say to that was, "Sampai ati kau pass aku kat budak India tu Jib..". To that Najuib acknowledges the stench of B.O the guy had, and that he tawakal-ed that Nadya would be alright in the guy's temporary care.

Earlier, bandmates Najuib and Zam came to her rescue at Federal Highway, scooping her belongings as well as the leftover stock of Black Pepper Thrill chips. Close friend Han handled the hospitalisation and also accompanied her to the police station to lodge a report after all the visitors left.

For the record, the band went on to perform without Nadya that night, and the management had agreed to accept the doctor's prescription of five days of medical leave for the versatile frontliner.
