Traumatic happening...

Let me update you all on the latest thing that happened to me.

I was an eyewitness to a traffic accident. Till now I still don't know why I was involved in it. Read on and you will know why...

It was my school's Halloween party last friday night and well for some reasons I didn't really want to take part in it. But then my curosity got the better of me and well my friend kept persuading me to go, I thought ok, I will just go and say hello, take some pictures and scram.

So I went about 11pm to the student bar that night. Met my classmates and took tonnes of photos together (which I will post it up soon). Waited for another friend to come and about 12, I was ready to leave.

Both my friend and I left together for home. On the way back, we past by the family restaurant right in front of the apartment where I stay and found a great commotion going on. There were like 10 fire engines, ambulances parked around it and the whole place was fenced off by the police. Saw like 30 over people standing in the carpark with their statements being taken down by the police. It was only the next day that we read in the news that a fight broke out between some Japanese gangsters involving some toxic spray sending 21 people to the hospital.

Anyway, the reason why I stood there for nearly 1.5 hours was because a Japanese uncle started chatting to me. Then he took me to his car which was parked across the road so he could give me his namecard.

2.30am in the morning. I crossed the road back to the path in front of school to his car. Side note: I was pretty nervous cus the uncle invited me to his house. arrggghhh... but thank God right at this moment, my classmate Bill came along with 2 other people back from the party so I had an excuse to say I had to leave with my classmate.

Crossed the first road. Nothing happened. Bill went ahead of me with another girl. I was walking behind with another guy Karl. Then was about to cross the 2nd road. Looked left and right, no cars. Light still red though. And Bill dashed across the road with another girl sitting behind him in the bike.

And just as I was about to follow them, I heard the screeching of car brakes and flashing car lights. The next thing I knew, I heard a loud bang and both Bill and the girl flew off the bike and onto the road.

Super traumatic.. in spite of the shock I got, I had to calm myself down because the girl was in shock. besides she was a little drunk. Then it was a mad rush to the hospital and then police recording down our statements.

Woo... Bill's ok now. He had stitches in his head and he fractured his right thumb. So have to take turns to cook for him everyday now. Because of this too, haven't been sleeping well for some days. Too traumatic to recall the accident too... And till now I still get people asking me why I was there at the point of time when I left the bar at 12+.. I don't know too how it was all such an coincidence..

Now I also ride my bike more carefully. and no more dashing across roads or beating red lights.
