54th day anniversary!
Almost 2 months since my big car crash - and poor Burnie is still stuck in ICU.
Bloody accident.
*flashback*
We were leaving for Christchurch and AN that night. Procrastinator that I am, I had all sorts of last minute stuff to do in the day - but they got done. I was on my way home for my final luggage check and a few hours of slacking... about 3 minutes away from haven, IT happened.
Stage:
Narrow and curvey (as curvey as you can generally find in Singapore) road with light traffic both directions.
Main actors:
good guys: Mr GG (good guy) and ME.
bad guys: Mr BG (bad guy)
Supporting cast:
policemen
civil defence
Mr motorbike
So there I was, driving behind Mr GG. Mr Motorbike was on the opposite direction with Mr BG behind him....
Mr BG tries to show his dick is bigger by overtaking Mr Motorbike on that single lane. Mr BG drives WAY over the dividing line into my lane.. specifically in front of Mr GG.
Mr GG steps on the E brake.. so do I. I stop and glare at Mr GG, thinking at first that he's an inconsiderate idiot. Then, since I can't move, I look around at the scenery..........and whaddahell, there's this car coming straight at me! Head on CRASH right into poor Burnie's nose.
Cue Mr BG's entrance.
Sigh.
My foot lifts off the pedals with the force of the collision. Burnie rolls backwards, luckily the steering wheel is turned so I bounce off the kerb instead of another car. The airbag explodes in my face. My glasses fly off, smoke gushes out from somewhere in the car, there's liquid on my legs. All the time this is happening, I'm thinking to myself, this cannot be happening. I have a flight to catch in 6 hours!
