It is a rainy weekend, what a rip-off for a long weekend for those like to go out and do something.

It's exactly 天雨路滑.....

damaged wheel.... more damaged wheel...

Then I had a car accident yesterday afternoon. It's nothing big, but enough damage. My car's front right wheel hit the curb on a left turn. It was a 90 degree kind of turn, because of the rain, the car slips. The rim is damaged but okay. However, the axial bent. I wasn't driving fast, but should have been more careful since it's raining. It's too late to say that now. Fortunately, I walk away alive and unscratch (yeah.... shouldn't make it a big thing for such a small accident. I had worse....)

So, I spent 2 hours waiting for tow truck to drop my car off to the repair shop. The rest of the weekend will be without a car.

This is my second car accident since I start driving in 1999, the first one was with my VW Golf on 2 years back on a showy night. My car slipped out of control before a light and hit a light pole sideway on the front....

For a 3 seconds incident, it has a great impact on life; cost money (hopefully not too badly), let someone down (I was on my way to pick up a friend to airport, she ends up have to take the bus in the rain), and mess up the Sunday boyz night outing (so someone else has to drive), put some bitter feeling in me.

From time to time, I'd suddenly think; "gee, what if this happened and I get into an accident?" It's kind of like a hair-raising alarm to me danger's ahead. That remind me to be careful. It's an level of alertness, I just not alert enough sometimes even I drive safe. That's what kind of bother me. And I should seriously thinking about taking advanced driving course to learn what to do on these kind of scenario.
