Right before our eyes!

Last night, an accident happened right before our eyes and we were so close to it. I really got a shock.

We were having dinner with KP and family in Hougang. We were seated along an aisle next to the stall. Parallel to this aisle is a row of grass patch, and parallel to the grass patch is pedestrian pavement and then the road. In other words, between the aisle we were seated and the road are the grass patch and pavement. My back was facing the road, Bunn was opposite me and front facing the road.

Don't know how... there was a very loud horn, then screeching and banging sound... then we all stood up, I turned around and the car mounted the kerb of the pavement and came towards the grass patch but stopped in time. The driver came out unhurt and luckily there was no injury. Where I stood, in front of my eyes was the car. We were separated by the grass patch.

I saw the car coming towards us but the speed was slow by then, so I didn't expect it to come much forward. I was stunned and just looked when I should have just grabbed Kang who was on my left and run. But I didn't. I now wonder if it's cos I knew the car was stopping or I was just too stunned to move. SF was on my right, back facing the road too. She too turned to see what happened the same time as me, and we both saw the car coming. She was shocked too.

Imagine if something really drastic happens, we wouldn't even have time to think or react. That's what we call accident right? Good thing all of us were safe. What an ordeal!
