Accident.

Everything started well this morning. I woke up early feeling fully rested and went for breakfast at mom's shop. After that I started my journey to KL with my trusty Modenas motorcycle. I was bright and chirpy. Along the journey I sang songs that I've prepared for this Sunday as I would be worship leading.



As I'm about to reach Nilai I saw a Plus Highway truck on the emergency lane. As I couldn't overtake the truck in time, I decided to brake to a complete stop before turning into the car lane safely. As I brake I ended the hymn which I was singing with a crescendo..."How great Thou Arrrtttt... Hoowww greattt Thoouuu ArrRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!"



Something hard hit me from behind and it threw me off balance. I skidded and landed on my left with the tar road inches away from my face. I looked up and I saw a motorcycle crashed towards the grass with the rider flung into the drain. My brain quickly kick into a damage control mode. I stayed still for few seconds, analyzing what was my damage while my brains racing to figure what has just happened.



I managed to pick myself up, and without looking I took out my Palm Zire from my bike container and start taking pictures as evidence. I don't want anything to backfire on me in case I were to report to the police. The rider was a Malay chap. He said that he didn't see me and the truck ahead. I say he was dreaming.



I ended up with some scratches on my left elbow and knee, and a injury to my right wrist again. (it just got healed from another accident two month back where a car banged into me when it tried to change lanes abruptly. Sigh). I'm resting at home and taking some painkillers I got from a pharmacy. (Why I didn't see a Dr for this is another story next time). Boy, my body do ache like it's been hit by a truck without painkillers.



Thinking back, I think it was God's protection over me that I escape with such a light injury. I could have landed landed on my right and cars would just run over me. But I didn't and the damage to my bike was minimal. Thank God for His protection over my life.



Would be working tomorrow. And I will be in KL again at night. This time I think I'll just drive the family car.
