Safe

"God, am I meeting you so soon?" - My first thought when I was swerving my car left and right, and left and right.

My 'masterpiece'

I was getting to work early in the morning before daybreak and the road was very wet. I was at a bend from TPE to SLE so I braked to slow down. I remembered vividly that I was travelling at 52km/hr (as shown on the LCD display). However, I noticed my car was slightly to the right so I tried to position is more to the left. When I turned the steering wheel to the left, ALL OF A SUDDENLY, my steering wheel came alive!!!!! I turned slightly left and it went almost a full left. I had, then, to turn it right to straighten it and it went a full right!!! It's as if I had oil in between my wheel and the road. (well, granted that it's also a rainy day). It's like ding dong from left to right for at least 3 - 4 times when I finally did a U-turn on the spot and WHAM into the wall (or whatever that's called). That's probably the rare times that one can hear me scream. In that split second, I thought that I am going to meet God soon.

For awhile later on, I was stunned. I made a call to AA to ask for towing services. Then while dialing & waiting, I calmed down a little and thought that I (my car) might not need towing. Might as well get out of the flyover first. Settled all my duties at work, got my colleague to cover me and I finally sent it to the workshop at about 5pm. The mechanic said "Wah... This is BAD!!!!" and I grimaced and forced a smile out.

My savings damage = $200. Other than that, I am absolutely thankful! For some apparent reason, I prayed for journey mercy this morning before I left.
