when disaster strikes

how would you react to an event that caught you unexpectedly? can one be on guard and alert all the time, every minute, every seconds?

two accidents happened today. one in the morning along commonwealth road and the other happened at night along yio chu kang road. three cars and a truck were involved in those accidents. two of the cars were badly damaged. the nissan latio struck the lamp post and the alfa romeo 159 hit the back of the truck causing its bonnet to pop upwards.

drove over to ah li's place to pick up some stuff (orange cloth and some zip locks) and saw the alfa and the truck which were involved in the YCK accident. well, i nearly got myself into an accident.. i cut three lanes to make an u-turn. bravo! had i not been luckier, the on-coming toyota wish would have banged onto me head on. of course, i got the usual honking and flashing lights from the driver, plus some vulgarities. sorry, dude. this could be prevented had i not left my handphone at ah li's place. sorry, dear.

today's lesson: never drive when u are dead tired!

i'm just glad that both dear and me got home safe and sound.

tri-m is due tomorrow. i don't think i'm able to meet the deadline. KK and SA won't be happy. i won't be happy with them either. y? because it's simply impossible to complete six pages in a day! all they care is to meet deadlines and forget about qualities. my motto is to do it once and do it well.

stop. am i jeopardizing my job with this attitude? i don't know. but i do know that i have a responsibility to keep my job..

be safe and follow the rules to avoid accidents. drive safely.
