I got my second accident of my lifetime. The last one ( and the first one) happen at the year 2000(July 01).
I went to buy lunch at 1145am at Tuas Ave 3,and came back to office at 1155am. When I reached the exit of my office, there is a slight jam on the opposite traffic( going towards Tuas Ave 2). I managed to squeezed to the yellow box in-front of my office.. After the car in-front gave way. There is also a trailer infront of me. Within a split second, a motorcycle squeezed from the right of the trailer and crashed onto my van.
I was so shocked that my mind went blank for the moment, I got off my van at the next second. The indian guy ( which I mistook as a malay guy) just fall off the motorcycle. Around a quarter of the bike went below my chassis.The friend of the Indian guy managed to call the police and the ambulance.The Police came around 5 mins later, followed by the ambulance 10 mins later. To me, the guy seems ok except some bruises on his knees, and he complain chest pain, and looked like some soccer player after they are tackled. The medic had no
choice but to sent him to NUH. Only after the ambulance went away, then the TP came.
Meanwhile, i access my damage, my side mirror totally broken, so is my front left headlight, my bumper suffer damage on the left side also. my door was slightly dented. But luckily windows is still intact. On the other hand, the bike seem to have less damage. Other than the damage to the shin guard of the motorcycle( which half a piece came out), and some leak of petrol, the rest seem ok. The Tp after accessing the damage, allow his friend to ride away the bike. The thing finally ended at 1315 hours. A long ordeal make me very tired, the TP instructed me to go to Ubi HQ to see the investigator for further reports, and handed me an intended persecution letter (For inconsiderate driving). So i had to take half day leave, SAD Thing!!
I took some rice, and drive to HQ at 1500 hours. Unlucky enough, i forgot which officer I am supposed to meet. So I waited an hour or so while they helped me to check out. Meanwhile, I spent a while in the reporting section writing police report. The officer don;t seem to be interested to help me write better. It;s a bit a weird, as I thought this is the job of the officer, but then Police cannot be complained, just include some broken english. So can help myself bah. The office also sign for the sake of signing.
Finally at 1630hours, the officer (named Vincent Ho) came down. but to my dismay, he;s still have 1-2 case to settle in-front of me. I ended having to wait another 1.5 hours.I waited until i rather upset, but the officer still apologise and expain to me the need to wait. he says that today, a lot more accidents happening, maybe today is accident day. I managed to start the session only at 1815 hours. The Officer is rather nice, at least better then the previous investigator i experience in the year 2000. He did brief me on the possibility of facing penalty. But if the victim is not seriously injured, then things might look simpler, that i might get away with a compound fine, without having to go to court. I managed to complete the procedure at 1845 hours.
I called home to realized from my mother that my house fridge has broken down. Have to buy new one again. I am supposed to go to IDAC to access my damage, but the center was closed after 6pm. So i have to rushed home to accompany my mother to see a new fridge.At the same time, drive before the day gets dark( as i had only one side of the head lamp working), very dangerous to drive at nite. Although i plan to see Yunfu the nite, but no choice have to cancel it.( Anyway Yunfu didn;t call also, maybe he forget liao?). At nite, i also spent a wihile to call the guy;s friend and was relieved to hear that he is discharged. God bless.
15 Aug
I had to take another half day, so i might spent time completing my Idac inspection. I reached Bukit batok idac at 0835 hours. The staff that told me that, until such circumstances, chances of claiming the third party is low, so i have to prepare for the worst. But then claiming is still necessary, whether is it successful, it will come later bah
After that, i went to repair shop at upper Pioneer Rd, the staff there echoed the same comments as what i heard from Idac."Let;s not be discouraged", i told myself, the priorty is on repairs. the cost was around 400 ( without changing bumper). but luckily, the bumper can still be knocked back, or else , i might have to fork out another 200 plus dollars for a new one. The van cannot be ready today , so i had my breakast and went back to office.
Looking back, i had a fairly difficult times this month, and maybe due to the 7th month. The moment i had a little spare cash, unlucky things happened to dry up my pockets.But looking on the bright side, i managed to take some practical lessons on accidents. The investigator told me that i should look out for some details of the other party vehicle no, or any possible independent witness. It means also to look out for the no of vehicle nearby.At least, i do learn things in a hard way, and in the hard way, i must learn as much. Things passed, no use getting upset, pick up and look ahead.Just hope, this is the last time bah.
So looking at it, i should on hold my bike buying activities and new handset as well. Maybe i might wait until my favourite model "Nokia N70" dropped to a good price,( 100 buck ?) before buying. I should be quiet for the next two 7th month. And after my birthday, i see again.
stop here
continue later

Introduction from me
halo
this is the first time, i created a blog here. When i saw "raine" blog on blogger.com.
I say," No bad leh, still can post photo some more", i couldn;t or ( don;t know bah) how to post any on my friendster blog. So i can see only a junk of words, maybe i try writting one here. But i shouldn;t be abandoning my friendster blog also, so i should just keep 2 instead, and maybe a more range of people can just come in and have a glance.
I do self intro first, my name is Yeong hwee toi(30) ,Ht(160).(Wt)50. from singapore and a small place call Taman Jurong . I been staying in jurong area form more 24 years liao. i was born at Gelyang Bahru, where i spent my kindergarden times there. I got a couple of years staying with my dad at Jurong west st 91, Jurong still looks nice as it stays near to Tuas, where most factories located, so i wouldn't have to travel too far. presently taking Bus, but hopping to buy a Bike soon.. any one introduce one?At Taman Jurong here, old flats is being replaced by new ones,Block 105-107 is pulling down soon with the SERs program. and there;s go the sole Single storey carpark in our area liao
study wise, i was at Bendemeer primary school from pri 1 to mid of pri 2(82-83), where i shift to xingnan pri school at jurong where i complete my pri school(83-88). In my sec school life, i went to Bukit view sec in bukit batok and stay until 1993 ( sec 5), After that, i do my teritiary studies at NYP ( GSI campus), and i done My manufact diploma (94-97) during my Ns, i was doing a observer at met station at sembawang Airbase(97-00) ( interesting job bah)..
Working wise, i had been doing as a draftsmen or related jobs for most of my career life, and looking back. It had been 5 and a half years liao. A boring job bah. seeing pc from 8- 5.30 every day.. sounds bad. I rather do some service job where i can talk to people, and sometimes jokes, meetings here and there, running around, and maybe some oversea's exposure as well. i ever tried doing insurance for a while, but didn;t make it because , i just can;t pass the 4 test required!!! This year in VMD, i got increment recently, maybe i should just on- hold my job finding efforts bah.. next year, i need to see again.
Hobbies wise, i spent most of my time in Fo tang bah.. there i enjoy with the shao nian class, and er tong class also.. and all the activities there, and i should spent my main time with it coming for a very long time bah.
Others, i do also play chess, ( but recently no playmates, all no longer interested) too busy working bah. or with relationship or family, not to mention soccer or table tennis which require more people. maybe can gather once in a year, it;s very nice already, luckily most of this friends still remember me when i call them bah
I also spent time reading, mainly chinese history books or religous books. i do read Non friction books also, don';t ask me why i don;t exactly read friction one, i don;t know either, but to me novels particular love ones are too perfect to be true. Only can cheat people of their feeling. But history books had bearings on how they come about, and in sequence also. only some of them do conflict with each other in terms of years and meaning.
relationship wise, maybe i failed several times, or i start to forcast that i will fail for another couple times ( BTw). i used to be in the weather stations during my Ns times.. so forcast weather still ok bah..). I have try to meet new friend from website service and i done two blind dates since then, the first one, gone case liao.. the second.. i have yet to call her.. don;t know where can go or what to talk on phone.. sometimes. worries can be very difficult bah.. i guess being alone is a nice thing also.. Maybe a simple thing, Just wait and wait bah
lastly, after reading the above , u know me liao? if not, pls tell me which part u don;t know? okie.. i love to make activities friend .. those can laugh on cue one.. and ladies that are availiable?
i continue latter
