Let me see... I personally think the new years are not good for me. Especially the Chinese New Year. Most will say the turn of the new year so your luck and fortune turned as well. Well, I don't think that applies to me (even though this rat year is suppose to be my year). I say that because for this year and last year, bad or unfortunate things have been happening to me.

Last year's new year wasn't the best new year celebration for me. Even before the new year 15 days ended, I got dumped (but thats an old story that is not worth going more into) then slightly after that (about a month or two after, I think) I got into an accident involving me and a roundabout.  At least that accident helped me in some ways. It got me out of the depression that I was slowly drowning into and that I should always 'U-turn' whenever I go into an unfamiliar road.

Well, this year, barely after the new year, I got into another accident. To be more precise, it happened yeaterday (25\02\2008) while I was going to work at 11.30am. This time is entirely not my fault. The guy was in a rush that he didn't notice my on-coming car and made a 'U-turn', only to crashed into my car. Damn I was scared as hell. I felt myself shaking. But at least after being in the previous accident, I learned to calm myself down to stay sane without freaking out. First thing first, I called my manager to tell her that I wasn't coming in and my mom whom I just dropped off around 10 minutes ago at the bank before heading to work. Immediately my mom asked what's wrong when she answered the call and she in turned called my dad at work about it. It was a long day yesterday. And a bloody hot day as well. And what a great time for the other car air-con to stop functioning. Sigh...

But all is well now. It was a friendly accident where no one was screaming whose fault was it and who should be paying for the damage. And the police report was quite fast. Faster then I expected actually. Maybe it all thanks to the 'vultures' that somehow manage to get the drift that an accident just happened. Well, they got the toll trucks to toll the cars to the police station and to the garage after. Efficient...

But now I'm handicapped yet again for the time being. But luckily I have friends and colleagues that stay oh so near to my place.
So now I have to hitched a ride to work and back from them. Luckily I'm not working at EY now, then I wouldn't know how am I going to work then. But then again, if I was still working there, I wouldn't be going to work at 11.30am and wouldn't be in that accident since I wouldn't be using that way to work.

Oh and I'm thankful that I receive no injuries whatsoever especially since the loud bang that could be heard all the way up at the first floor of the building nearby and both of us got out without even a dislocated shoulder. Maybe somebody up there likes me after all.

PS: Have no pictures to post since I was so distracted that I forgot that I own a camera phone. Trying to get the pictures from the other guy.
