Literally, i just walked away from a possible meet-up with death.
I almost died on the road- to be one of the victims in a car crashed accident.
I was on 90km/h on a highway yesterday to a business appointment, little did i realise most cars were slowing down because there was another car which broke down somewhere in the middle lane on a busy highway.
To a point when i saw the red lights indication from the little Kelisa car in front of me, i was only 2 cars distance away on the same speed. My brain was blank, i felt the chill down my spine, the only thing that came to my mind was, ‘goodbye people’.
I tried to break the car. i heard a loud squealing of brakes from my car, i instantly smelt the burnt tyres, i felt i was sliding off track, i wanted to close my eyes.
I was getting nearer, and nearer, i knew i had only two choices. Either i continued to break harder and stopped the car, which in anywaythe car might be driftingand ended up in the opposite direction and crashed onto any other on-going cars, or, i let go the brake to let the car stop at its own pace - in other words will only stop once it crashed onto the car in front.
It was a narrow squeak- the Kelisa in front saw the danger coming its way and immediately swift over to the left lane - so now i have 3 cars distance before i could stop my 90km/h speed. I decided to place my last bet on my babycar - i braked thoroughly after the 0.001second of thought.
I closed my eyes. I hold on to my steerling - some images came into my mind. It’s likea slide show of a summary of my 23 years of life, i didnt know why all of those can be summarize within that 2 seconds.. but before it could be continued, i knew i was safe.
I felt the car had finally stopped.
I looked at the back mirror, it was allsmoky. If it’s not the burnt tyres smell i would think i am in Genting Highlands with the breezy fog around me. I guess other drivers were waiting to witness another car crashed accident, but i disappointed them because i saved my own life, i saved others as well - i did not intend to jeapordize anyone to come along with me should i be destined to die that afternoon.
But i was shivering. I was still shivering. I suddenly i realised i still have so many things waiting to be done, so many love to spare (bleh), so many people to meet up, and so much more to do for my family.
That afternoon i was awaken- from a nightmare. from a terrible nightmare which almost caught me off track and never able to come back.
Now that i’m here, standing firmly alive, i know how i should be treasuring life, loving people around us, doing things with no regrets.
Taking this xmas opportunity to wish each and everyone, stay healthy and be safe for everything you do. To live long or not is not the issue, to live with no regrets and satisfyingly is the key to the happiness.
Hugs.
