3 times, i guess.
1st time was in 1999, coming back from school. alighted from the
busstop, about to cross the junction. it was still a red man, and
the cars were still driving, and all of a sudden i crossed the road
without thinking. the only thing that crossed my mind was that it
was rather wierd, because the bus was blocking my view and i
couldnt see the cars behind it, and i thought that it seemed
extremly stupid, but i still crossed anyway. fortunately i didn't
get hit...even though there were alot of cars on the road. right
after i crossed the road it just hit me all of a sudden what i was
doing. several drivers driving by me also scolded me in their
actions.
2nd time was less than a month later. exact same thing, same
junction and even same direction, but fortunately my sister stopped
me the moment i put my foot on the ground to cross. god know what
would have happened if she wasnt there.
3rd time was in 2001, my father asked me and my sister to help him
carry some stuff dowm to his car. anyway, the moment we stepped out
of the hdb flat a window from the 8th floor came falling down right
next to me and my sister. i have no idea how, but it barely missed
us by less than 10cm. i was standing beside it while my sister was
standing behind it. up to now i still have no idea why we were
walking in such an odd position when we were carrying it... *sigh*
suffered a few minor splinters from the shattered glass, but
nothing serious.
