i am a drama magnet i swear, even if i don't do anything, drama sneaks up and find me. i can't decide if today is a bad day. It should be, considering what happened, but then again i don't really feel that it is. this state of ambivalence is perhaps good. at least i am not lapsing into full-fledged please-just-kill-me mode. what happened? i got into an accident again. oh my god oh my god oh my god. yes very unfortunate. it was raining (it always rains before something bad happens) i was driving along AYE on the SECOND LANE (not even first lane what were the odds!!!!) traffic was slow, so as the car stopped in front of me, naturally i stopped too. i remember that i didn't stop abruptly. it was a usual slow stop. as always, i will check my rear view mirror once i stop. and the image startled me because i saw an on-coming lorry looming closer and closer at a speed that suggest a crash in say 3 seconds i was right. this is one of those times i wish i could be wrong about something. as my car jerked forward from the impact, the first thought that came to my mind was ' please, let's not bang the car in front as well.' reality is cruel, because just as i wished that, my car inched forward just enough to give the car in front a little push. 'my life is over' all i remember was that the two drivers came over to me (because i was so shocked i remained in my car) and asked if i was okay. naturally, i replied yes and came out of the car to survey the damage, i was trying not to notice the massive jam we were causing. thinking back, it was like we were performing a play since we were in the centre lane, and a three car collision is pretty dramatic. at first glance, the back of my car was ok. i think i expected worse after my previous accident (LET'S NOT GO THERE) this time, it was just two dents or punctures whatever you call it. i was thinking, 'i can live with this.' then i move to the front where my car was now kissing the bumper of the car in front. no visible damage. a sense of relief washed over me. as they got down to taking down the particulars and everything all i really wanted to do was to go school. to make things worse/better, this guy came over to ask about the accident he was from this insurance company thing or whatever. i was really confused and i really wanted to GO TO SCHOOL. basically i drove away in a daze. the only thought that drove me was the thought of going to lecture because that would mean that everything is back to normal. i think i started calling everyone to tell them about the crash a while later while still driving haha totally asking for another accident. WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY why why why why why |
