Keeping the dream alive.

It's been 1month and 2 days since baby gwen was born.
It's been a month since Ginger came over.
It's been a month since i've slept until 10am without waking up in the midst of it.

1 month but it felt like time zoomed by.

Anyway.
There was a horrific accident on saturday..just outside my place..
You know..the road towards harbourfront..
and literally 'Just outside my place'.

My bro, Ginger, and I were downstairs..at around 9pm..
Studying, bumming, and studying...respectively.
then there was this 'Boom!'
and we thought something screwed up with the Circle Line...a generator overload or something.
and there was smoke.
so..being the kaypohs that we are..
we ran to the backgate..
Apparently an NTUC van collided into the pillar support the highway..
and the entire front section was crushed inwards.
we were prolly the 2nd group of people at the scene.
Got my brother to call 995..
and
after a few hours
Someone said that one guy died on impact..the other was surviving..but barely.
after an hour+ they managed to get the guy out and into the ambulance..
they tried towing the vehicle.
then sawed the door.
then finally climbed to the roof and got him out..
-__-
kinda brings the meaning of inefficiency to a whole new level.
and i'm so buay song but how they had to cordone off the area outside my place..
JUST because there were too many people watching.
like...it's not even on this side of the road.
-___-
but then again..it doesn't really matter..because it's 'JUST OUTSIDE MY PLACE'
and most of us nosy parkers live very nearby.
so..we took our cards out..entered our private estate..
and stood there and watched.
view-wise..not much of a difference..just that we were slightly elevated..and a few metres further..
-shrugs-
anyway...
it was like...the fragility of life.

ironic that the next day's event would be a celebration of life..and i was witness to the passing of one.
