郑氏郑家郑重成长录

I am still in shock!

Last Sat while driving back from Novena with my 2 angels in the back seat, I was very tired and I manage to keep  awake till Punggol.  I approached one of the traffic lights, and suddenly, I just doze off.  Thank GOD, I managed to woke up in time and avoid an accident.  I thank GOD for looking after me, but did not take it as a SERIOUS message!

Yesterday, at noon, while driving along CTE, I was cruising on lane 1 and when I was nearby to TPE exit, not realising there is a long vehicle parking on lane 1 cutting trees, I accelerated to pick up speed to move up the bridge.  By the time I noticed it, I was too near.

Without hesitation, I quickly filtered left, but still crashed into the vehicle.  Looking into my mirror, I saw a van was ramming into me.  I managed to accelerate while the van jammed brake to avoid second collision.  I successful pull over at the shoulder and came down to inspect the car.

My car head light was broken, my bumper badly damaged, my right front wheel was out of alignment, my right side mirror was gone, both my back wheel rims were scratch, and my right body left with a deep cut and scratch from my door all the way to the back.

Thank GOD, I am alive and unharm.

I called my insurance company and they asked me if my car still movable.  I tried and it’s ok, but the stirring is out of alignment, so I had to drive slowly and carefully to the workshop. 

While int he workshop, I recall the accident.  If I did not manage to filter left, I would have a solid head-on collision and which would push the engine backwards into my chest might result to chest-rip broken despite of air-bag; on top, the windscreen may broke into pieces and cut me deep.  Then, if I manged to avoid the head-on, but not been able to avoid the van, I will lose control and spin or overturn, or worst, broke the bridge barrer and fall off the bridge which may caused my life.

I really thank GOD for looking after me and help me to be unharmed.  I still have a family which my kids still have a father, to my wife a husband and to my mother, a son.

Thank GOD again!

Event: Fathers’ day

This mark an unforgettable day for me. Though, I have been father for almost 6 years (since Marina was born on 19 Jun 2001), I never felt the same feeling as I was today.

Firstly, the kids (Marina & Kent) and CW have been planning and working out something for me over last week. I know they were planning for some “surprises” for me. They lock the room and stay up late and forbidden me to enter it. (more…)
