Driving my blue mini van, I turned into Kent Ridge Rd from South Buona Vista Rd, to be welcomed by the familiar environment which has accompanied me for the past 4 yrs. On my left is PGP while my right comprises nothing but bushes and trees. Further down on my right will be a very steep slope which will bring us to where NUH is located.
A very long trailer has just turned out from PGP in the opposite direction. Due to its enormous length, the trailer had a terrible time making the turn. I have to stop my van to make way for it. Unfortunately, an impatient taxi came behind the trailer, wanting to overtake it. Feeling nice, I reversed my vehicle a little, so that the taxi could squeeze its way through.
But damm.... I have no rear windows for my van, and I couldnt check the blind spots. Nevertheless, I trusted my own judgement and agaration. Seconds after I reversed my veh, I suddenly feel a large backwards force which tilted my veh backwards and send us tumbling abt 30 metres down the steep slope. Its like falling backwards off the cliff.
The next thing I could remember were the sticky substances oozing out from the back of my head. It was a mixture of pain and blurness, and yet I couldnt get to pass out completely.... NUH is just directly in front of me now, except that there isnt a cleared road linking between us. It has been so long but nobody seemed to come to my rescue... damm...
And after some very boliao hospital scene, I was ready to wake up from bed and go to work. Another day has started.
