cCcRRaasSSssSH!

so i sat in front of my desk hopefully some brainjuice will be generous enough to flow out, but no! they have to be stuck in that twisted lump of pink toufu. as i flipped through various references and almost started on my resume that i have to hand in tmr...

-CRASH-

an accident happened at this junction near my house. to all, it is a very dangerous road junction- cuts at Furama Hotel and Apollo Centre- so pls avoid that junction. while to anyone who would like to be involved in any car accident, pls go ahead. come to Chinatown. probably we can have breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper at the famous Hong Lim Food Complex and den i can send you to the junction just in case u think that you might get lost.

so ya. being kaypo, i left my study desk and went to my corridor/window to take a peek. it was a traffic accident involving a car and a motorbike. well, obviously, the one that had injuries was the motorbike rider, while the car was still in one piece. (well, from far it seems like 1 piece.) so, there was this bike lying right at the corner of the junction and its rider got thrown away to a distance seemingly 5 metres.

the cops took 5 mins to arrive and 2 mins later, the ambulance arrived. however, within that 5 mins, no one stayed there trying to comfort the victim. people come and go and walked away. the victim was sitting in the middle of the road and could not move. but no one tried to signal to the oncoming vehicle that someone is in the road, which i thought was pretty dangerous.

the ambulance reached in 7 mins but they took 15 mins before they are able to put the victim on stretcher and up into that little white and red vehicle. so when finally the victim got some aid and was on the way to the SGH (that would only be logical since SGH is like 5 mins from the accident spot), the policemen finally question the reckless driver, checking both the bike and the car and put on the sign- which i guess said "ACCIDENT".

this reminds me of my lecture today- Crisis Management. well, in this case it's not really crisis la. but the flow was smooth.

at least it is not a case of hit-and-run. the driver totally had the time to do that and the car was in a good-enough condition to do so.

ok.. back to considering my future and what i've done in the pass...
