13 July 2006 Thursday | 23:29 | The Accident, The speed demon
My Mazda 3 crashed into a Toyota Altis at a junction along Thomson Road at 1118 hrs this morning.
My friends have been asking me about that and I get so pissed each time I talk about it. I have really no idea how that happened!
I saw the lights turning red!
I saw the Altis slowing down!
I knew I wanted to slow down!
I knew I had stepped on the brakes!
I don’t know how I knocked into the Altis!
I really don’t know!!! Argh!!!!
I was so stunned. Two sentences were flashing across my mind: WHAT THE F HAPPENED? and OH F! WHY THE HELL DID I GO AND KNOCK INTO A CAR?!
I was alone, while there were three ladies in the Altis. The driver came out looking very stressed. She was driving her husband’s car. And she’s a new driver too. She saw my P-Plate and said, “Alamak! Like that how?”
I went, “Erm, I don’t know leh! This is my first accident!”
Basically, besides two broken hearts, and some debris, we didn’t break any limbs or spill any blood.
Don’t ask me about money now. I’ve got no idea. I’m not interested. I’m devastated.
My car is in the workshop now. They’re estimating two weeks.
I was totally exhausted when I returned home three hours after the accident. I cancelled all my appointments and shut off the phone.
Totally drained.
I’m feeling sad, shocked, angry, confused all at once.
Just as the car would need two weeks in retreat, I need some time to get over this.
People have offered their sayangs and assistance in a couple of ways. Thank you.
At the workshop this afternoon, I couldn’t help but notice other cars requiring far urgent assistance.
Like this one:
I must be mad or something, cos I thought I heard the car talking to me through its wide open mouth.
