It's exactly 12 hours before it's 2011 (at least when I started typing this entry). I know it's been ages since I last updated. Laziness always sets in after awhile. It's not a good habit to keep.
Yesterday was rather an 'eventful' day I would say. I went out with my family after lunch and witnessed a car accident happening before my very eyes while waiting for the traffic light to turn green at a junction. It was shocking. I recalled myself screaming when the car swerved up the other side of the road, onto the stationary vehicle, after which white fumes were seen coming from the front of the car. The car was trying to beat the flashing green arrow, by turning right at high speed, but lost control of the car and crashed right into the front wheel of the truck of the opposite lane waiting to move. It was fortunate that there're no casualty, and the vehicle which the car crashed into was a large vehicle. If not for this, the driver would sustain injuries due to the crash. The driver and the passenger of the car seemed traumatised and did not react immediately. The lorry driver kept waving to them to get out of the car. My dad drove and stopped over. He opened the car door and asked the man to switch up the engine and get out fast, for the fear of a possible fire harzard and the safety of the people. I know I have not practised my driving skills for quite awhile. Witnessing this just made me realised how dangerous can impatient driving caused, especially to innocent parties.
Dear friends and family, drive responsibly. For everyone.Then we dropped by the template after shopping for winterwear. My sister and I decided to ask for a lot. I didn't know how to go about doing it because it was my first time. It was a little chaotic because all of us wasn't very sure about the exact procedures. After the shaking process to get the stick which resembles a flat chopstick, we noted the number written on it and approached the lady at the counter. She helped us to get a piece of paper corresponding to our numbers from a series of drawers at the side of the room. I asked for career and luck for next year. She said it bodes well, especially for the 2nd half of the year. However, for my sister, it's not as good. So, she got herself an amulet and have to abstain from beef. I prayed for the safety for her since she's going to be away for 6 months. Please take care of yourself, dear sister.
New year resolutions are what people would often set before the new year begins. I think I would ponder about what I want to achieve over lunch and dinner. Life with a goal in mind helps a lot.
