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.
