Wow, its been a wonderful weekend with full of acitvities for me. Hope all you friends out there has enjoyed yourself too. ;) Well, only get my chance to log in online only when I am in office proves that I have really used my weekend fully.
First to complain is of course last week's tough job, the new equipment that I am in charge of has came from UK so I was tasked to handle the unpackaging. Hmm... come to think of it, lots of things happened.. Don't think I will write that out but anyway, I was stuck in the middle of a strong political war. Well, I know that political wars do happen, just wondering why do politics always occur, is it because everyone wants things in their own way and they cannot do it forcefully hence they resort to tricks ? Strange to find that sometimes problem can be easily solved if someone makes a compromise. That is why I have always wanted to give way to my friends who are naturally strongheaded and keen on winning, the thinking is simple, just let them "win" and they will feel so much better and make their day whereas for my side, nothing happened or change for me, so everyone's happy.
Second is I read the newspaper yesterday about the accident of a Mazda MX5 sports car that flew over the center divider and crash onto a BMW and lorry. It has really struck me hard, how potentially dangerous it can be where someone speed on the road, you not only cause your own life at stake... you will ultimately cause an accident that will make you regret for life. This struck me hard because just a few weeks back, my friend who is driving with half of my friends on board was speeding way beyond the speed limit designated by the car which is to say, very dangerous. If I were to know that he is really so keen on overtaking and winning me, I would have long slowed down so that my friends on board will have a safe journey. Even a sports car can crash so badly to kill someone, what about a normal car.
This brings me to another area, I was driving along loyang ave, and there is this mini van, it was really unintentional on my part to be at the same speed as him and he thinks that I am forcing him to a race, so on my side, i tested him which i guess is my fault also, I just tail gated him a while, and voila... fire burns and he started to be aggressive, I gave up thinking of my 3 Ls (Licenses, limbs, liability) but he does not and start tail gating me, so in the end I have to drive at 150km/h to get rid of him simply because I know the maximum speed he can attain is at most 130km/h. While I must admit that I have a sudden rush of addiction to the race which I very much regreted later and a lot of fear because I have never drove that fast before. First and foremost is because I had one friend who is beside me and I am endangering my friend's life, secondly, it is plain stupidity to just race like that due to whatever, provocation or male ego or whatever. For my case, provocation from that driver maybe drives me to that or just plain playful (very very wrong). Now after reading the papers yesterday, I have made a pledge to myself that I will never ever speed again unneccesarily. I treasure my friends, cars and most important of all, life. So I would really plead or advise with those who always speed to really think of all those people beside you before you decide to just step on the accelerator, its easy to step on it, but it is difficult to control the car then. And my friends out there, next time if I am driving you ppl and speeding, please remind me of my pledge.
Just another thought, I was out with a few friends during the weekend and something happened which brought another thinking to my mind, maybe I do think too much. But it did happen to me once before. Maybe this time is totally different from the last time but it do bring memories back. Why are some friends naturally more pro-ces-sive... ehm... don't know how to spell it. haha... anyway in chinese is call zhan4 you3. Ehm..think my chinese also cannot make it. haha.. Maybe through care or just plain jealous, just made me curious why they are sort of interested to control my life or the friends I met but anyway just a thought from the past and nothing to do with the people I go out with during the weekend.
Still got a lot of things to write on but think I shall just let those things remain as memories in my mind as the post is getting a bit too long.
Keeping every secret...
