Good short. I always like shorts, even better if they're hot!

Accident Recollection

This was written a couple of days ago. Suitable edits have been made as some things are clarified.

Thanks everyone for the enquiries. In case I miss out on replying anyone, I'm fine here. Not.... well, not dead.

I'm still wondering how will the girlfriend take this bit of news. I'll be seeing her in about 20 hours, and as much as an ass kicking I would probably get from her, I still want a hug now! : ( She wasn't happy***
Allow me to briefly describe the events from that night, so that I can refer this link to anyone who asks as well.

What happened was that we were post yam cha, going about 70-80 along this road. Admittedly it was a little faster than usual on a small road.

At the point where the road was marked with the green line (not the green cross), a cat ran out from the right into my path. Car was already turning into the corner and I prodded the brakes quite heavily and simultaneously applying a little more lock, resulting in a terrible oversteer which I couldn't catch. Car started to point into the corner and I went full throttle while counter steering(in an attempt to catch the oversteer; in an oversteer always go full throttle, NEVER brake) but it was too late as the car was pointing at about 75-90˚, perpendicular to the direction of travel already.

Funny thing was that at this point the thought going through my head was 'oh shit need to buy new bumper'

Front lip clipped the curb (about 6 inches high), resulting in the car flipping, landing on the driver's side A-pillar, resulting in a deformation of the car's structure. (Further inspection of the car revealed that the car perhaps flipped not as a result of contact with the said curb, but because of friction from my rather grippy Yokohamas.)

Car continued spinning another 180', coming to a stop pointing towards the little road where the red 'x' is. Path where it was dragged is the red line. Estimates based on scattering of glass shards.

Front windows were shattered and my head was dragged along the road a little, resulting in the multiple lacerations you all see.

Crawled out of the car from the passenger's side, only to have my friend run in to turn off the engine which I previously did not.

Was bleeding from the head and I was advised to sit down but I foolishly went about picking up my possessions which were thrown out of the car.

Was very conscious and I knew I wasn't damaged in the brain as I had thoughts such as "ATM card cannot leave behind, credit card also. Radio they might steal but not worth the risk going in"

Ran some logic tests, counting up and down from 10, remembering the dates, important people et cetera.

I decided to sit around abit to ensure that things were being sorted out. Some tow truck people came and asked me to tow, saying that they're panel approved people. I signed it but mentioned that they can only tow it under the condition that they are panel.

A lady offered to send me to the hospital, funny thing was that she's in the media industry, and she knows Robb and Nick! Took the longest drive ever and got admitted.

Removed some glass fragments from my head, did a CT and X-Ray scan and found that there were about 6 more pieces in the head which required a surgery. Checked in and couldn't sleep as I kept having flashbacks about the accident. Asked for a sedative which was very helpful : )

Had a surgery the next morning. Was injected with what I presume is Propofol as the anesthetic. Interesting thing was that I could feel it going up my arm as it was cold, but was groggy before the whole syringe was emptied. Now I know what do we use to kidnap people heh.

Recalled waking up and wanting to vomit, tried to get off the operating table but the doctor pushed me back down.

Went to the police station to make a report. I will have to go to court to sort this out, and I stand to lose my license.

My finances are now really really fucked. Need a sugar daddy here : (

I still think cats are cute.

Gravity

Went to look at the car, and then only did I realise the gravity of the situation.

I could have been killed, I could have killed my friend. Mom said that I must have been really kind and that is why I managed to come out relatively unscath.


Front view. Note collapsed driver's side A-Pillar



Rear view - Roof crumpled


Rear quarter view. Rear right door could be opened though. It is a good indication of a car's structural strength when the doors can still be opened after a major accident.


Note collapsed A-Pillar. It looks bad, but taking into consideration that the whole car's weight landed on the pillar, I'm lucky to be here blogging this now.


That's Kenneth, who was in the car with me at the time of the accident. He came out with some light scratches.


Good and economical engine : (

Asked for the car to be written off. I will miss it.

I broke down at this point. : (

Been getting quite abit of enquiries about my condition, thank you. I'm fine, and I won't be dying anytime soon.

In fact I'm quite anxious waiting for tomorrow because I am dead bored here.

Amongst the weirder conversations would be these:

Hospitalised

Hello I am here blogging from Damansara Specialist Hospital.

Flipped my car last night and here I am. Got a slight head wound when my windscreen broke and I got dragged over the road abit.

I'm fine because of my seatbelt, so always wear your seatbelt. Put it on before your car moves and only take it off after you stop your car; NOT WHEN YOU ARE TURNING INTO THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE.

Anyway here's a picture of my head for you guys.



According to the lady who sent me to the hospital (she's in the same industry BTW!!) this year is a bad year for me, makes sense since I just had an accident less than a month ago.

Amcheong is so going to kill me : ( She doesn't know yet.

Roller Coasters

Was walking around with a client observing roller coasters when she offered me a free ride.

I declined politely with a sheepish smile, she laughed at me.

Not cool man, not cool.

My friend used to always scold me, saying "you drive like that but you're afraid of roller coasters."

pfft.

Still busy, 10 meetings this week omg.

First of a Kind

Happy Monday everyone. Had 2 packets of really hot nasi lemak and I feel a little queasy now.
