Unlucky Monday!

Yesterday was really a bad day!

In the morning, on the way up from KB, I almost banged into the car in front of me. It was along the highway in front of Empire. The car in front of mine braked suddenly...and I have to blame myself too for being quite sleepy. So I had to sudden brake. The screeching sound my tyres created was really LOUD and scary...Shocked me! I ended up speechless and remained at that spot for a few seconds before moving again. Worst still, it created a chain of cars behind me all braking hard. Thank God I didn't bang...My car was just like 2cm away from the car in front of mine. And the car behind me was really, really close as well. Really scary!

It was a pretty long day in uni as well. I was so bad in PBL; so unprepared. But I was lucky to pull it through I think. I roughly had an idea of what to talk about since I've done something quite similar in A Level Biology. And lectures...I don't know why, but I cannot concentrate. I tend to become really sleepy. I guess it's not my way of learning. I prefer SDL and then, PBL.

Well, the day went on. Actually had a plan after uni but then it had to be cancelled. So, I decided to go home and suggested Swensen's for dessert at like 8.30pm. I managed to nap for an hour before dinner at home...and then prepared myself to go out.

On the way, I picked Sarah up. And then, the second crazy thing of the day happened. Sarah's aunt's place was built on a small hill right...So, I had to go up this hill to reach the foyer of the house. After that, I reversed my car back downhill. I've done this a few times already but then I just don't understand what I did yesterday.

As I reverse the car, I could hear "poummm..." and a jerk on my back wheel. I asked Sarah, "Is it the drain?" Both of us agreed it is. I moved a little more and then OMG..."POUMMM" on my left front wheel. The car was tilted! I quickly got out of the car and sheesh...the left side of the car was in the huge drain!!! And the right back wheel was rotating in the air. Imagine that!

I was really like don't know what to do. Luckily, there was one Indonesian passer-by who volunteered to help me. He told me it's ok and we can get the car out. By then, Sarah's uncle and aunt had already came out of the house. Imagine how loud the "poummm" was!

So the kind Indonesian man pushed the side of the car from the drain, and as he instructed, I accelerated...at the same time trying to use my weight to push the right side of the car back onto the ground. I could really smell the friction between the tyres and the cement floor...and FINALLY, the car got out of the drain! Lots of gratitude to the Indonesian guy...Thank God he's there.

I hope the car is alright though. The body still looks good... Just that the right signal seems to have 'palpitation'. Pretty weird...

After that, we met up with Sonia, John, Edah, Nellie and Dila in Swensen's for ice cream. It was really good though...but my mind was still thinking about the incidents in the morning and the one with the drain. Luckily, I reached home safely. It was a horrible day, really.

At least today is not too bad. Did a bit of work...so I feel quite good about it. I learn how to take an Obstetric history and the proper way to change diaper for a baby. Quite productive. Tomorrow will be a short day in uni...so I'm looking forward to it.
