I am counting myself lucky...

Hi brudders,

I am just happy to be able to share with you all what I have gone through yesterday night, an experience of a lifetime!

It was a great night, I was on my brother's car where we were heading home after hanging around in town. So, after refueling @ Shell Tampines Ave 4, we took the usual Tampines Ave 10 and then TPE so we can exit Elias Road for home.

While on lane 3 between Tampines Ave 10 & Elias Road exit, we felt a thud from the back, and before we knew it our car was spinning anti-clockwise out of control. The front slammed onto the metal guard railing, car sprung and continued turning. It came to a stop between Lane 2 & 3 of TPE.

The first instinct was to see if we were wounded. What can I say, we were so lucky to be only suffering from bruises, other than slight nausea from the spin! Quickly we got down, and realized our car was in a total wreckage at the engine & car boot. My god, how did we survive the impact?

So, here came this young chap checking us if we were ok. Only then did we know he was the driver that filtered from Lane 1 to Lane 3, and in the process bumped into our rear right. We were relieved no one was seriously injured during the car accident, except causing a huge jam as our car were stuck on the TPE. Shortly, the officers came by to assist. The episode came to a temporary end after the tow truck took our car away around 1am.

Through this close encounter, I really appreciate the gift of life and no matter how well managed it appears to be, there could be times where things are just not within our control. So, live happily and fully while it last...
