ok i havent got a chance to upload the photos onto my laptop yet, when i do, i will post some pictures here.
anyway, remember i said that i didnt really felt like going away? should have trusted my instints/guts/6th sense man! the friend who jioed me (lets just call him John) and i were sitting in a citroen, driven by John's friend. got another 2 cars along, one's civic 2.0 and another is civic type-r (wah lau, tat car is so chio! white one somemore) we reached into msia abt 5am.. after breakfast abt 7++am, we drove into the highway.. abt only an hour later, accident happened liao.
wah lau, the driver. 3 words to describe him. CANNOT MAKE IT. instead of driving seriously and focused. he kept making stupid jokes, fiddling with his GPS n watnot. i sitting in the back seat totally 看不下去. the normal civic was very fast. we were in 2nd, but of cos the type-r behind wanted to chiong forward lah, so we drop back to last. i tink tats when our car the driver start to panic. cos he very anxious to catch up. my friend John was sittin in front with the driver, i duno if he got constantly remind the driver some safety issues not, cos he was making turns at 130km/hr! crazy! not performing drifting leh, he tinks he takumi is it? also not racing wat! and oh man, u should have seen the way he overtake cars. there are ALOT to consider when u wan to overtake a car or slow truck in front. u have to see far, make sure there's no oncoming car, judge the distance, be familar with ur car's performance, and be sure den can over take ONE car at a time. but sometimes, cannot see the road far he also overtake. i was sitting behind 冒冷汗！squeezed my eyes shut somemore.
when i opened my eyes, the car was losing control liao, swerving left and right on... (get this) the incoming lane!! next thing i knew, we were chiong-ing towards the hill at the right side of the road. i felt the impact of the crash and the car flipped coupla times!! i was ducking down and was trying to protect my head with my hands. cos i know i cannot injure my head no matter wat. anyway, the car came to a stop. i knew i didnt suffer any cuts or crushed bones, no bleeding either. i also didnt knock my head. the burning smell of the metal was awful. was so scared the car will explode anytime, i quickly got out of the car and stood one side, and wait for the other 2 cars (our companions lah) to return. when i saw the condition of the car, so shocked man! the windscreen totally smashed. the front, bonnet, bumper and boot all gone case. even our luggage/bags were flung like 10metres away or sth.
our companions finally came liao, they were also shocked, cos they at first tot we minor accident, or quarrelling with another driver or sth. they were relieved to see 3 of us standing at the side of the road. den after that, i sat in the type-r throughout while waiting for the tow truck to come. many cars slowed down, cos very shocked at the crashed car, or they tryin to take down the car number for 4D, but sorry to disappoint, the car plate duno fly where. some stopped to see if help is needed, they all tot must be fatal accident can.
- these were taken by me, while i was sitting in the type R, waiting for the tow truck ppl to come. remember the car was chiong-ing towards the hill? notice the car is facing outwards now? u can imagine how many times it flipped.- the guys were examining wats left of the car parts. driver not pictured lah. he went away to make police report.
- i only "panicked" when i got out of the car. why? bcos there were ALOT of red ants! huge ones! one climbed to my face man! was frantically tryin to brush them off. maybe we disturbed a red ants' nest nearby, or we landed directly onto one. hmm...
- u see the back the boot area? totally wrecked. i duno how man. i tot should be the front tats damaged. the back? how? unless at one point the car was vertical... (??). den i was afraid some metal pole or sharp scrap from the boot, would pierce thru the back seat and... *shudders*
now when i tink back, it was really scary. altho i only suffered strained neck (bcos i ducked down too suddenly), no visible injuries or glass cuts (thank god), i still tink it was quite horrifying. and i tink i was very heng too. for several lucky reasons:
1) luckily, when we strayed off the road and lost control, there was no car in front or behind. there was also no oncoming car. the whole stretch of road was empty. if not, imagine if crash onto an incoming car also travelling at 130km/hr... *shudders*
2) luckily, we crashed onto the hill, which has branches, grass n soil. imagine its hard rock hill, or even worse, downhill slope! wah, duno will roll down to where. *shudders*
3) luckily, i wore seat belt. ok guys, always wear seat belt at all times, even if you're a back seat passenger. dun tink only the front ppl need seat belt. bcos if sth happens, what makes u tink u wont fly or be flung if u sittin at the back eh? u need the same protection as the front passengers. imagine if i didnt wear seat belt, duno where ill fly to man. and my head will surely be injured badly. *shudders* my trusty sling pouch was beside me in the car, and i found it 7 metres away from the car. i keep wondering how it flew outta the car.
4) luckily, nothin happened to the engine. no explosion no fire or wat. i remember on the way towards the hill, i didnt scream or panic. i was very calm. buang liao, even managed to remove seat belt and slowly 自己开门出去.
5) luckily, when the car finally came to a stop after flips n turns, it was upright. wah, imagine the car was upside down, it will be difficult to get out. i remember the seatbelt was really tight, my butt didnt leave the seat an inch when the car was flipping over in the air. so if upside down, once remove safety belt den will fall back down due to gravity, and my head will probably knock the floor (err.. the roof of the car lah) liao. den will have to slowly crawl out of the car.
6) luckily, i only suffered neck strain, which i recovered 3 days later. wah, the next day, my neck hurt like hell! and i applied alot of tiger balm. thankfully my neck muscles very 争气, recover fast. the couple in the civic type-r was saying luckily im super young (to them lah), haha. i remember tinking (when the car was swervin left n right) 'no crushed bones, no blood, please!!'... so really thank goodness
7) luckily, nothin happened to my bags n pouch. even tho they were flung far away. my hp, my DS, my mp3 player, all ok. wah! i remembered sth, i was playing my DS in the car leh. den i got a feelin tat i shouldn't play, tat i should be holding onto the thing for u to grab at the side door. wah, heng man, otherwise my DS sure gone case.
the rest of the journey, i sat on the type-r. i love tat car! it was one of my dream cars to get. practical one lah, cannot expect me to buy porche or ferrari in singapore rite? and the driver was more 稳重 and safer too, at least he will slow down when doing turns. straight roads he chiong and chiong safely one, the max he went was 225km/hr. the engine roar, damn shiok. but of cos, at first still got a bit phobia when at turns lah (cos the accident happened when tat stupid driver speeding at a turn), but after some time, i felt this driver really careful and i felt safe. somemore got his gf beside him to keep him in check, remind him to go slow etc. haha. i got so comfortable i slept alot. hahaha. the car was a roadster, so obviously, it was real bumpy, cos ur supposed to FEEL the road. so bumpy and i still can sleep! lol.
anyway, next time, i should just trust my instints. if 有不祥预感 den just trust myself. luckily nothing happens to me. if not, i duno how will John explain to my parents. bcos he was the one who kinda "forced" me to go (he said "no choice, cannot find another person to go"). and the driver? kaoz. he's gonna get a 1 to 1 car replacement (insured under AIG 1st year mah) loh.. he went back singapore immediately (while the rest of us continued with the trip) to settle the car stuff. he was, apparantly, kek sim (heart pain) abt his car parts. tink he paid quite alot for the modifications n watnot. kek sim my ass! he should be thankful nothing happens to his passengers! sheesh. btw, i heard he's test driving new cars. wtf.
i tink i wont be talkin to John for a long time. and i hope i wont see that driver friend of his for the rest of my life too. hmm.. wait, maybe i should demand some compensation from him first, for his reckless driving n behaviour, that could have gotten me killed.
so the 成语： 吉人天相，死里逃生... can be used to describe my experience. very 贴切
