The day i almost died

i was that close to meeting the end of my life and stepping into the other world. i got into a car accident. a pretty serious one too.

**

i was driving along Jalan Kuching to head home after a session on Frangipani on Friday night which then turned into Saturday morning. well.. i had two glasses of Laichi Martini but i swear i was sober after gulping down a bottle of mineral water

**

at 100km/h, along Jalan Kuching before the Segambut roundabout, suddenly without warning my streering wheel just went wild. its like it was possessed with a mind of its own. a mind... to get me killed. it swirled right and i would pull it back to the left. stepping on the brake made things worst and eventually after split seconds of duel with the steering wheels, i crashed to the right road divider and swirled 180 degrees and my back bumper hit the road divided which put a stop to my car

**

As i gulp with fear, my mind was set to get to the other side of the road as i am currently in the death zone-the fast lane, againts the road. my main fear was being hit buy a speeding truck or bus as i was trying to struggle to reach the safety zone. i mumbled a short prayer and i trust in God to help me through this. and somehow, i made it.


**

i knew i was uninjured. just traumatised. then. i started making calls. to my dad, some friends and the car assistance hotline. there were many many people crowding the scene. i did not like what was going on. as time passed my friend which i've just met for the first time that day, *Marvin , along with his friends arrived at the scene. they really helped console me. my dad finally arrived after what felt like forever. my heart immediately was at ease when i saw my dad. i ran to him and gave him a hug and started sobing a little.. mumbling "di.. im scared........"
he assured me everything is fine and he loves me. i did not want to let go

**

well anyway, it was an excruciating experience and i hope it won't ever happen to me, my family or my friends. ever. i am back driving now. very very slowly and carefully. and heck i am filled with fear as i grip the steering wheel tightly. i guess i was still traumatised. oh ya apparently what happened was, my tyre burst. that was the cause of this mishap. sigh.

**

anyway.. here are some pictures of my car..


yeah the poor victim was my baby BOB, my 5 month old Toyota Vios. Baby is now somewhere in a factory to be healed. miss my baby.

















my windshield cracked too..














my bruise due to impact with my left hand glove box...










all i can say is i am glad that i am still alive and i appreciate life more now. whenever i close my eyes i think about the incident that nearly robbed me of my life. shattering my family and friend's hearts.






*LOVE LIFE. DRIVE SAFE. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE*




!!!! THANK YOU *MARVIN and friends FOR BEING SO KIND AND HELPING ME WHEN I AM IN NEED ALTHOUGH I'VE KNOWN YOU GUYS FOR MERELY HOURS!!!
