There was a fatal accident near my place a couple nights back. I heard the crash while having supper, went to the window but didn't see anything. A long time later, I heard sirens. I remember thinking to myself that if that was the ambulance, the victim would have been long gone. I saw offerings by the side of the road on my way out today but no, I wasn't spooked. Everytime I hear of an accident, I imagine the casualty on his* way to heaven with wings behind his back; hands clasped in a prayer position. (*women may be bad drivers but they aren't dangerous drivers like the OTHER sex)

Please don't jaywalk if you can help it. Also, even if the greenman is showing, check if the oncoming vehicles have stopped or are stopping. You know your life is more important than saving a few seconds.

Somehow I keep bumping into A. Saw him again today (Damn!) and it seems that he apologises everytime he sees me. Well, better he than me. Besides apologising, he also recoiled from me. Wha?? I remember distinctively, he greeting me, then JUMPED BACK a few paces to talk to me. What a strange dude; it's not like I want him standing near me either. He apologised being crazy and putting me on the defensive. Seriously, I don't remember how I reacted the entire time. It's amusing to think back on it and I am actually more relieved than anything. I don't want to bump into him again because I am only going to make him feel bad. Oh geez, I must have scarred him for life. Frankly speaking, I didn't even do anything; he scared me since Day 1!! I should just take the job in Japan and get away as far as I can. Crazy Singaporean men! Ahhhhh!!
