brush with death

the absent-minded me was too happy to get dinner and left a book i just borrowed from the library at the store, hence it resulted in me having to return to the same place 1.5 hrs after i was there and also having a close brush with death

i was really relieved to find my book still right there after forgetting its presence for the past 1.5 hrs.. too happy to take note of scooters speeding out of narrow alleys.. well i assumed that narrow alleys were reserved for pedestrains and not scooters...

and so while i was happily turning into the alley, a scooter sped out and i was momentarily blinded by its head lights.. luckily i was agile enough and took 2 steps back in time to avoid being hit by the scooter which would haf resulted in my death.. or at least some injury...

i was too shock to move for the next 2 seconds..

i think they should legislate that scooters should not be allowed in small alleys that could hardly haf 3 ppl walking side to side cos there would bound to accidents!!

there lies a certain extent of exaggeration here but i was truly scared out of my wits.. maybe i wasn't that close a brush to death.. but close enough!
