Last Thursday, I got into an accident. A minor accident though it came down pretty hard on me… well, physically, my right knee and arm – few bumps and bruises la and mentally… little scare!
I was filtering out left onto another lane, and there I saw the entrance to the parking bay which I was searching for it for quite a while. So I thought I was a good-enough driver to make a quick turn and land directly on the right spot, but, unfortunately i was not a good driver (yet) so, I sorta lost control and got panicked and pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. And that’s it… BANNNNGGG!!! A "STOP" pole!
I pulled myself together and drove the car away from the scene and managed to park' the car at a safer spot. And for the first (at least) 15-minutes I was stuck in the driver’s seat panic stricken (literally trembling) biting my lips and craning my neck to see what’s going on and yet too shaken to get out of the car. Thank god coupla friends came over immediately after my MAY-DAY call and took care of everything, well, almost everything la.
i guess, my first accident! Nothing serious though my precious had to go to the workshop and Im back to be a car-less woman - for another at least coupla weeks. And the funny part is i cant stop thinking about the "STOP" pole... wonder what happened to it?!
Lesson learnt
I am still a beginner (in the driving part) and must learn to be more careful or rather patience on the road.
I have a family (my biological family) and they will always be there for me no matter how badly I've treated them in the past.
I think [now] i have much clearer picture on number of ppl who genuinely care for me (and the other category)

To look on the bright side
It’s a little one
I wasn’t alone
no scoldings
everyone’s fine

bummer girl, really sorry bout the incident.
dont get too excited about empty parking bays ok.... especially if there arent any cars around to compete for that spot.
but I know that trembling feeling you get in the limbs too well.... I remember landing under a bus with my bike on a wet day some 12 years back... in your case it was the STOP sign! hahahaha
sharky... landing under a bus must be pretty scary uh...
and yea, it was kinda silly and i do realise that ppl get into their skates d moment there is an empthy parking lot, (i was one of em). anyway, thx and i'll be more careful in future. i guess i needed tat scar to remind me on certain things...
Oh gosh, girl, I'm glad you're okay. And I'm also glad you're picking yourself up and driving again- remember how I haven't driven in FIVE years since that accident. . .sigh. .
But seriously, I think we all need accidents to remind us sometimes, but I'm SO glad it was a minor one.
take care,
mm
Just read ur blog and found out...good to note that the accident wasn't all that bad and that u r ok! I'm sure u'll be back in that driver's seat soon! Take it easy and take care.
