safety

Last night, my parents called me askin if I accident recently. S usual, their story twisted saying I bump into lorry & I not happy & off my hp & dear worry. D whole scenario is a lorry broke down in my path & I was too closed to d triangular hazard sign to while tryin to steer out & notice tt plate I hit a car. Both of us got some dents & scratches but not so serious.

Anw, durin dinner & aft dinner today my parents tok ab it again & aft d incident at d petrol kiosk jus nw, I think next time when I drive, thr r many many things to notice & do & be careful too.

1) notice if windscreen got paper or so in case raining when driving
2) rmbr to lock all my doors even if i am waitin for dear or others & even if it may not b a short wait
3) blk my hp in case call/sms/etc come & disrupt my GPS navigation
4) rmbr to off d lights b4 I leave
5) make sure I don go wash car, etc alone

though we r in sg which is relatively safe, I suddenly recall tt day when I went to do d final settlement for d accident case, I think i'm oso too bold liao. for d whole case, I was alone startin fr when i jus hit d car, dear nvr pick my call, den i forget take note of d other's party car plate no & info. in d end i ask fr him via watsapp. den he called sayin increase in d amt he expected & i agreed cos i dk wat to cx & tt i tot he's d victim so though he initially said he can come to pass me d receipt, i felt bad & asked for scanned or photo of it. but in d end, dear said shld but too late. dear oso den said shld oso ve a b&w copy which we both signed to cfm close case & so i ask fr d guy if possible. he agreed & i only noe he said he stay sembawang so i tot i might b able to meet him like at d mall or mrt so we can sign. aft agreed to meet him but he said he is not at d mall but will send me a location, i took cab down. didn't noe wat d place is like. in cab, d cab uncle ask whr but i oso dk. i only can say i can set gps & tell him direction. d uncle said his impression of tt area got pubs. i almost fainted. i search & see tt d unit i was given is a crab restaurant so i was relieved. but when i reach & call him, he came out, i notice alcohol smell fr him. but i still assure myself tt mayb he got drink beer while eating. but... his friend called him & he told his friends tt they r all inside at d pool table. i really almost 'fainted' cos i was alone & it was dark alrdy. tt place is quite ulu. no hse nearby or near d bus stop. d bus stop is near a park. tt time i gave myself a time of a next cab in sight aft a few min if d bus still don come. i think i really made a too bold step cos i nvr figure out d location. i shld ve called my friend or cousin to accompany me even if i don wanna let my parents noe.

& aft dis car wash incident w d indian uncle trying to get in w so many things tt he shld ve notice d diff in car, i really think i shld not go for car wash, etc alone or to settle anything alone anymore. not to say outside but also settle things at home oso la. like for instance, d air con servicing which i had been wishin to call for. cos like for air con servicing for my parents' hse last yr, i was alone but thr r many technicians & in diff rm. hw can i 'supervise' all at once w things like keys, wallet, hp, etc ard d hse oso.

weird encounter at petrol kiosk

Today went back to ve dinner w my parents, grandma, godma & relatives. After dinner, while on our way back, dear tot of gettin a car wash & so we went.

Aft d car wash, we drive forward to let another staff to dry our car. s I was lookin at my side of window, I saw a man approachin & walkin nearer & nearer to d back seat at my side. I wad blurred cos he is not in d car wash team tee. Furthermore he was carrying a plastic bag which seems to b a loaf of bread. Thus I paid more attn to him.

Tt man is an indian uncle. He really come & open d back seat door so I shouted to him & ask him many times since he was attemptin to open d door, 'hello hello who u lookin for?' But d uncle jus wanna get in. 1 of his legalmost got in actually. As he was tryin to get in, not only his leg is gettin in 1st but his head oso. His face was facin me oso s i looked back & shout to him. Jus dk why he nvr 'hear' or 'see' cos even d car wash staff further away oso blur. Jus b4 he really got in, he den hear me & said 'sorry sorry same car' & closed d door & walk to d roadside. D car wash staff ended up laughin non-stop crunchin her stomach s she laugh. & dear was pissed by tt  uncle. Actually dear nvr notice d uncle till I shouted. Even w d doors all closed, I can oso hear d staff laugh & say 'same car'.

I totally don understand why tt indian uncle can 'mistaken' d car. he dk whoever he is waitin for got no car wash? Cos ours was jus being dry when he approached. Our car is still wet oso. Y I say this is cos in d end he waded to roadside. So he is not waiting for car tt is havincar wash. furthermore,  I shouted so many times to him. Y he nvr notice? I was oso lookin back at him & his face was facin me. We got eye contacts too. Is his eye sight not gd? Is his hearing got prob? Dear's car oso got hang scented bag on d hand grip above d door. It's dangling thr. Didnt d uncle notice tt diff? Ppl always comment tt our car smell nice fr all d scented bags which dear hang though we r both immune. If u say tt is no smell since dear & I r immune or not, but my mum commented ab d smell jus ab 2 hrs ago when we sent her & my cousins to d coffeeshop near my grandma's place. So not only d uncle' ears & eyes got problem? His nose oso got problem. I really don understand why.

Though we r in sg, I think to b safe, next time I drive I better lock d car doors. & I wont go car wash, etc alone. This is jus too insecure & scary to think ab cos u nvr noe wat d person's intention. Is it really pure mistake? I really dk.
