Black Friday

I have had a horrible weekend starting from Friday. Everything has not turned out well.

I had a car accident on Friday morning going to work at the LDP. The car in front of me took an emergency break because a taxi in front of him stopped and turned left suddenly. I also took an emergency brake, but I could not stop in time.

I was lucky to escape unhurt. I was calm, but really scared for a good five minutes. They say, this is the 7th month of the chinese calendar, it is the month of the hungry ghost.

I remember a split second that I could see the car's behind coming up and knew I was going to hit it. That split second was quite terrifying because you can see it coming, but cannot do anything.

After a police report in the morning, and back home, I went back to work in the afternoon. I am now grounded without a car, but one nice friend loaned me his car just now, and I am back with transport.

But the episode really scared me. There are many what if's that could have surfaced, and from picture it looks badly smashed, but really, am I appreciating the what if of life? And how precious each moment is? Why I can only think of work?

I am chilled by my own coldness towards my own most priceless asset - my life.

Yesterday I woke up with a severe whip lash on my neck and back, and was reminded of the what-ifs again. What I really need is a break.

Luckily I am recovered from my whip lash, and should still be able to run tomorrow's rat race.

Scold me if you see me. I need a wake up call seriously. For not appreciating life enough.
