Warmed

I have finally settled the issue of the crash yesterday and the feeling of relief after the settlement is amazing. This accident allows me to realise certain stuff. I guess I have paid a sum of money to learn a lesson that I will never forget which for sure be useful in the future. Firstly, I must remember to get down the other party details if an accident (touch wood) will ever happen again. Secondly, if money can be used to settle the problem, it will never be a huge problem that cannot be solved. Thirdly, my parents love me damn much. Lastly, interactions with people are always hard, but people can never be lonely for too long either. Its a blessing that no one got hurt in this accident and thinking back, I guess I will not be able to overcome the phobia of driving in this short period of time. However, I am grateful to my friends who have help me through this period of time especially Ting, my xiao mei. Although she is younger than me, the way she thinks and handles stuff, she seems so much way above her own age. Guess its because she has been here mostly alone since she was 10 and unlike me who has been sheltered for my past 21 years, she has put me to shame. And its this that reinforces my beliefs that children should not be too sheltered and that I will want my children out of the Singapore education system unless drastic changes has been make. Anyway really appreciate Ting's help and her little actions really touched me. Its werid that a friend you know for less than 6 months will actually go all the way out to help. Ting actually volunteered to lend me money for the payment of damages, she drove to uni on a wed when she has no class and park her car at uni, took a bus to my place to help me drive to the rental company. She still actually send me back home from the city after dinner although I have insisted I could takea bus home as her home is like half an hour drive away from the city and 1 hr drive away from my place. Really appreciated that and that was something which touches my heart. This is something imcomparable to anything material like throwing a surprise party, or giving a birthday present. Anyway no one knows how things or relationships will change after I leave Sydney, but seriously, even if it changes, the memories, the feelings will never change. Its time to just enjoy the present and not worry about the future. Simply because there will be too many things to worry about. Thanks Cindy as well for volunteering to split the cost although I was the one who crashed the car. Thanks Jo and Carrie for volunteering as well even though they were really out of the picture. Thanks for all the concern and help you guys have given me especially, edwin,Ian,Julian.

Car Crash

Yeah this is the first road accident I got involved in. In the 23 years of my life, I have always been blessed and have never been involved in one. This time the accident happen in Sydney and I was the driver. Things happen so fast that when I was in a daze when it happen. I did not know how did I manage to get out of the car or give the driver my details as well. Neither did I know how I have managed to continue driving towards Hunter Valley which is like maybe 3 hrs drive away. I drove for 3 hours and the only focus was to drive carefully and reach hunter valley safely. Anyway this incident has been revolving in my mind all the days and nights. I am lucky I was not hurt because if the impact was any larger, I would have been hurt. Or if I manage to rent the Gezt I have book in advance and met with this accident, my legs will have been gone. Guess what I have learned from this is to drive carefully next time and that my parents really love me. Anyway, hoepfully,this whole incident can be solved by paying the money and though its a huge amount, I guess if money is able to solve it, its not too huge a problem. I think I need to work harder in Spore and saved up the money to return it to my parents. Pray I will get a job soon in Sydney and then all the money problems can be solved. Photos taken from the days Cindy is here will soon be posted too.

Cheers
