Bus Number 11

What a week it has been! So much has happened that the end result was me being relegated to doing something that I've not done since my university days.

I was involved in a car crash about a week ago. It was raining heavily and as I approached a traffic light that was turning yellow, I instinctively stepped on the gas not realizing that the car in front of me was already stationary.

This is the first time I've been involved in a major accident and I hope it will be the last as well. It will take up to 3 weeks (I hope they keep to their word) to get the car up and running again, but till then, my mobility has been seriously reduced. Its a good thing that I stay relatively near to my workplace - it takes around 20-25 minutes walk. Public transport is less of a convenience than walking and definitely not an option.

Good Ol' Bus Number 11

What gets me most is the timing of the accident. My mom is coming to visit me later this weekend and without a way to get around ... well I guess we can do some work on the garden!

How is ur trusty car? That bad huh? the accident. Glad u r not hurt.

Cheers mate. Walking to work should be fun. A different view & different perspective compared when you're driving. Bring ur camera along & snap some out of the world pics!!

WS Pang : Heheh ok,I will eat more to compensate.

Rommel: The trusty car will live. You know its very ironic. Before the accident i was thinking 'Sometimes if I drive I feel reluctant to stop and take pics of something interesting. Maybe walking will help.' So I guess be careful what you wish for...

Johnny: Yes sir!
