Have you even thought u were so close to dying and still not know it? I did and i am sure hy did too. If hy accelerated slightly more just now, we could very well have died or be seriously injured. Thankfully, we were blessed and kinda got out of the car accident unscathed (but i won't say the same for her car).
It was 1230am and we were on our way to my place (she has kindly offered to send me home after a nights out with heyuan, kristin, ally and mac) when her car was banged from the left just as she was coming out of the traffic junction in between SOB and LKS lib. The impact was so great that the car turned 90 degrees to the right with the bonnet badly crushed from the left to the right. For a few moments, hy could not open her car door. But luckily, a passer-by who was crossing the road with his gf saw the accident and came to offer assistance. He even offered to be our witness. So in a way, Singaporeans are nice pple still, they still help out when they see other pple in distress and for that i am thankful! Because of the impact and the angle, the car stalled on the 2nd lane from the right and was posing as a traffic hazard, a couple of guys came to help push the car while i steered the car to the left side of the road. First time touch the steering wheel after gettin my license so a bit gabra. haha...not super paranoid of cars le...prob stick to bus as much as possible. Quite scary just thinking how we (more so, I) could have died a few hours ago...gonna post some pictures tmr cos the laptop is not reading my sd card. sighs...
Just a note, wanna thank those pple who came to help with the car, the medics who came down and not forgetting MR Mac for driving down from simei to send the girls home...and to all, pls treasure your life because it is really really very fragile. Still very in shock knowing what a close shave it was.
more tots on the next post.
