almost an accident

i almost got knocked down by a van today…careless me! here’s the story:
had no choice but to go to school today to decorate the big tree in the hall for national day. and STUPID me, i actually couldn’t be bothered to take a look at the tree before today. i just took for granted that the tree was made of styrofoam. just before i hung up the cards then i realised, the material was sponge, NOT styrofoam! thank god mrs chua was there to giv me ideas, else i wudn’t have known wat to do, cos i’m an IDIOT when it comes to artwrk & designing.
so there i went, rushing fr the school to Bendemmer Mall to get the materials. it was only a 10-minute walk, but i took a cab to & fro, bcos i know the sch closes at 6pm, and i only had 4hrs to do everything.
on the way back, i had to walk behind a van to get onto the cab which i had flagged. who knows, the van actually reversed, and my wrist was knocked. well, my fault, cos i thought the van was stationary, and the driver’s fault too, cos he din c me crossing the small road. i tink the van was reversing at a super slow speed. had it reversed at a higher speed, i wud have been GONE liao!
i was reli SHOCKED!!! abit frightened… it happened most probably oso bcos i din get enuf sleep, plus i was reli rushing.
last nite on the way back fr dear’s hse, heard the horrible loud screeching & BANG of a car, but din witness the accident. just hearing it was alr scary enuf.. and today, it almost happened to me…还是心有余悸！
well, my wrist seems still ok so far, about 6hrs since the minor accident happened.. no blue-black, no swelling, no pain yet. but i’m still worried. hope itz just a knock & nothing inside was injured…
i reli reli reli will be more careful in future, when crossing roads…
