We were heading to Suntec for some "Kungfu Panda" after chilling and as I was gonna make a turn, a car zoomed past me on the left from nowhere, I hear a crunch from my car and the next thing I know, I was in the middle of the road with my front bumper flipping open. My heart sank. The 2 gals froze in the car as I drove to the side to confront the dickhead. They were lost in space for a few mins before they realised that they are mobile. The Ass driver, which I would love to mention his name but I can't, went straight past the junction when he was on a lane that only allows a left turn. And he was moving his ass so fast, so fast that IF I had made the turn a few seconds earlier, we would all now be hospitalized with serious injuries. I literally felt like slapping him. Born in a society like this, apparently, I can't. I was raged with anger and started using all my reprimanding skills. He just kept quiet and nodded. Later, he tried to do the denial thing and said he was 'thinking' of turning. If you were turning, you wouldn't have hit me you bastard! It was obvious to me that he had no idea he was on a turning lane. I called my Dad for SOS. And boy, i'm glad he's here. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do.
As I was writing down my particulars, it was then i realised, i was freaking out. Cos my mind was blocked for a while and my hands were trembling. Fear has crept into me without having me realise it. It was only after 15 mins that it dawned on me to check if Jas and Del were alright. I felt really bad about that.
I was utterly disgusted to know that the asshole shares the same surname and Initial as me. J.Seah. Pui! I so wanted to spit at him. A balding 37 year old nerd with polo tee and high cut jeans. So typical Singaporean Man.... Said his Father told him to leave and as much as I insisted, he left. I realised his gf had left in the midst of confrontation when he left alone. Not like i'm trying to get personal, but really she could have got a better guy with what she got.
It was even more frustrating today when I went to make a report and found out that the asshole/dickhead may not have to pay a single cent. All becos of a new law being set on 1 June. WTH. or rather, WTF. Isn't the law suppose to protect the innocent? Passengers in the car cannot be witnesses, photos of aftermath and where it happened are not considered clear enough evidence to explain the situation. How am I, suppose to stop my car in the middle of the cross juncton, grab strangers as a witnesses and take photos of what happened at that point of time? You tell me. If I did that, I would be choking up the whole of Bras Basah Road, will I be arrested for creating a road hazard then? I was already amazed that I can take photos, take down particulars and confront the bloody driver after shifting the car safely to the side without creating a hazard. The asshole was going so fast by the time he stopped his car he was already 10m away from where he hit me.
As we waited for the tow car to arrive, people are looking at my frens and me as though we were exhibits. We see smiles, we see curious faces, we see people being judegemental, we see weird uncles staring and we see lots of mumblings. Even the whole anti-terrorists squad of about 8 pax stopped to chat and check out what happened. But everything's status quo. Nothing is gonna compensate this. My heart aches as I see my new baby being slowly towed away.
And so, my Saturday is damaged and my car is badly damaged. And yes, we are alright. We were lucky to have escaped unhurt. That's the only thing I can console myself with. Thank God.
