I was heading down on a site visit with a coworker this afternoon when we were cut off by a Honda City doing at least 90 km/h on a gravel road. I commented off-handedly that the driver is likely to have an accident judging by the way he/she was driving. Well, next thing we knew, we turned a corner and saw the Honda City lose control and crash head on into a utility pole. I am familiar with crashing into utility poles and judging by the speed the car was going, the driver was lucky the car didn't crash through and drop into the huge drain beside the road.
There were a couple of security guards from a nearby factory running down the road towards the crash to see if they could help out the driver. It turned out to be a middle aged lady fetching her two kids back from school (they were still in primary school uniform). I am not sure if anyone was hurt coz there was a cement truck bearing down on us and I just had time to get a couple of photos off before I had to get off the shoulder of the road.
Anyway, I was out tonight with Katherine and Evelyn. Evelyn (girl in pink) is back for the holidays and she used to be from my high school. Her parents are working in the same field as mine and her brother knows my sister but unfortunately, I can't seem to remember seeing her in school. My memory is notoriously dismal though, so there you go. She has a degree is psychology (OMG! I can't believe it! I haven't had a crush in years! *swoons*) from Otago University in Christchurch, NZ and she's doing mission work (as in church related) in Singapore.
I still can't stop kicking myself for not noticing her back in high school and er...perhaps making a move (or two). ;)
Anyway, I'm going jungle trekking with some people from work tomorrow morning. Early day tomorrow. Pictures and report will be up when I get home. Have an outstanding Labor's Day break and don't do anything I won't do.
Tomorrow jungle trekking then you should sleep early la. Enjoy.
BTW, you on diet hio? How come you look much slimmer in the recent posts?
argh. i can't help it. but it's labour, with a 'U'!! :P have a happy labour's day break yourself!
women drivers....
Otago uni is in Dunedin
HB off to play Rambo!*patiently waiting for pictures*
"Labor" is American, and with the "u", it's British. Even Cambridge is more tolerant now of the American variations in spelling. Gosh! Going to be a busy day at the hospital today, eh? All the expectant mothers going into labour!!! LOL!!! (OK! OK! I know it's a sick joke!!!) But I can't help you on the other one. Otago IS in Dunedin and Canterbury's in Christchurch. U were there once, right?
Looks like u have a "mulut masin" (sour mouth) People believe that what u say may just come true...so be careful who u curse!!! (I've one too...and the same thing happened some over 20 years ago when I cursed a lady driver who overtook me. Deja vu???)...And you do look good! Slimmer and better!!! Keep it up!
Labor Day, shit our's is not until the first Monday of September.
Hey buddy great to find you back online again. Thought we lost you there for a while.
Hope all is well :)
seeing the black car.. I thought.. "Not again" haha.. lucky it wasn't you.
Same thought with Fred. Luckily, it is not you. Glad to hear that you have a healthy lifestyle now.
Wilson: eh? i don't think i am slimmer. perhaps it's the lighting.
essentric: well, it's easier to spell it americanized. color instead of colour and so on. :)
JW: hmm...i wouldn't dare to comment on that. ;)
anon: you're right. my apologies.
Wuching: it turned out to be a rather tame walk in the park. :)
suituapui: yeah, you're right. otago is in dunedin, not christchurch. my mistake. i automatically typed christchurch last night and didn't notice the mistake...
haha! thanks, but i don't think i am slimmer. must be the lighting. :)
Crunk Juice: i read that on the office intranet. labor day is on a different day in the states. i didn't know that until last week.
Shan: hello there! everything is fine. it's good to be back. :)
fred: heh! thanks. this is a honda city. i drive a toyota vios. :)
Choonie: thanks! i'm glad it wasn't me too. ;)
doesn't look to be much fun, driving into a utility pole like that. beside a huge drain to boot...
Hi HB, greetings from the middle of South China Sea...gud that you're back..
flint: hey flint! =D
it's good to see you here again.
