Not exactly like the Roxette album but that’s what happened this evening.
Had a rather bad crash while driving my parents home after visiting on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Yes. First day. Thankfully, none of us were hurt. The car wasn’t that fortunate. Tyres were all flattened and the front right wheel might have broken the axis and some front bumper dents/scratches. Not too sure what else is damaged though as the work shop will only be open on Saturday. Will try to put up some photos of the damage after the visit to the workshop.
Reason why I crashed the car was we went to see a supposedly haunted landmark along Ponggol and I ran against some cement blocks placed to redirect traffic as I was pointing out the building to my parents.
A few lesson learnt this evening:
* Never go see unlucky things on Chinese New Year
* Actually, one should never go see unlucky things anytime
* Keep your eyes on the road. Let others see what you went to see, and stop if you want to see it yourself
* Know when to hit the brakes
* Have the numbers to the tow truck companies under your insurance company
Going to pay for the damages after claiming from insurance. So you might see me put up my precious black Powerbook G3 Pismo up for sale if I don’t have enough to cover.
I’m not too sure whether this new Monkey year will clash with my Tiger, I’m born in the year of the Tiger, but I really really hope that this is the lowest i can get, and everything will be pointing up from today.
