Unfortunate Rendezvous

I got into a car accident the other day in jelutong. It was my first time I was ever in such a serious case. Kinda sucks. Well, it happened when I kinda got distracted when I was driving, and then the person in front of me had a sudden break and I ended up crashing into his rear. The bumper of his wira caved in and my hood of my car got kinda bent. I called my father and since he was in the vicinity, he came to help me. Dad paid the guy like $250. Currently, my car is at a workshop under restoration. So, I can't go out for like a week or something.
The accident scared the crap out of me. I don't think I will drive the same way again:
-I will not drive too closely
-I will try not to speed
-I will try to avoid going to places that i'm not familiar with

I'm no longer shaken up as I was on the day. My hands like couldn't stop shivering. I like have this new awakening. I now see life as a fragile thing which could just end in a snap. i just wanna take a moment to mention all those who helped me overcome this incident, my parents for being so understanding, my friends, Ivan, Jeff, Chris and Zhi Xiang for sharing their experiances and Wye Sern, Loo Hoang and Mei Zhi for being so calm during the incident. To all drivers: Drive safely.
