accident report

November 8, 2007 / 14 Comments

i guess there a few of you who are curious to know what happened and have been concerned about me. just want to say, i am fine and i spent one day yesterday reeling from the shock and the expenses that i have incurred in that ONE bump.

i was the driver, and i was involved in an accident with a passenger in tow (jennifer!).

oh wells. i WAS at fault. wei is on a business trip in guangzhou and i was given the car to drive around. i was driving jennifer and myself to work yesterday morning when it was raining. the traffic is bad (as usual), and i was trying to grab my mobile (it’s ringing!) and when i look up.. i knew i was gonna crash!

what happened was, 2 cars in front jammed the brakes and wanted to do a right turn. the car in front slammed the brakes and managed to stop in time. i was the 3rd car behind, and i OBVIOUSLY couldn’t stop in time.

the only answers i have/guessed that lead to the crash:
– it was raining and the brakes weren’t working as well
– i was in a shock knowing i am gonna crash and didnt slam the brakes hard enough

anyway, the deed is done and i have incurred thousands of additional expenses in that split second.

jennifer suffered some knocks on her knees against the dashboard, and i think i am having a slight strain in my back. but all in all, we are fine and are still able to joke a bit though i am in shock.

and oh.. by the way, i banged into a bloody few months old LEXUS GS300. :S

towed the car to the workshop to assess the damage and cost of repairs and it amounted to a minimum of 3k for wei’s car. called lexus up and checked on the cost of the bumper and decided that i couldn’t afford to settle it myself and i had to just claim for insurance.

wei is SO gonna kill me cos his insurance is already very exorbitant!

i spent $71 bucks buying 4D for the 2 car plates from the crash and damn! i didn’t win the lottery else i could have bought wei a new car!

anyway, wei knew about the crash cos i called and confessed.. (he asked about the car and NOT ME!!!). his rationale is that if i can call and explain what happened, i am ok. Grrrr..

and so now.. i don’t think the crash will deter me from driving. so i am good and sound.

thank you to those who have showed their concerns. here’s some pictures of the crash and the damage.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
