Yoyoyo!!! For those who don't know, Kenneth is Gordon's gay buddy la! Anyway, this guy's real nice leh..... He treated a group of 6 of us to Midsummer Night's Dream, the play at Fort Canning Hill. This is a classic Shakespearean play with fantasy background to a love story. As I've watched a previous movie on this play before, I could distinctly remember its full plot. This is very important as then, I could make out the entire play without much problems and hence catch all the story in full. Helena's acting was fabulous closely followed by that of Hermia, Demetrius and Pyremis. It was cool as the play even added in Singaporean flavour of ping pong cheh! hahaha.
We followed up the night with pool which sad to say, I was pwn-ed by Kenneth and Ruth! Ah, moving on, I send them back and this is the moment!!! People, I nearly killed someone! Yupzzzz..... sigh...... After dropping Ruth off, was exiting the carpark. I was a good driver who stopped at the stop-line. Before initiating a right turn, I checked right, then checked left, both clear! Hence I released the brake on my auto car and the car was moving off slowly....
Kenneth gasped.... as I caught a FASTTTTT moving vehicle coming from the right! Stunned!!! I quickly slammed the brakes and hoped for the best....... Ariel moved less than 2 metres off from its stationary position. It was too late.... the motorbike was gonna crash into Ariel's front.... and I could do nothing more... as reversing was out of the question...... NO MORE TIME!!! To our relief, the bike swerved to the right and avoided a collision..... was sure that the rider would fly on impact. Oh well, all's well save a scare..... a scare big enough with the ringing effect that someone could have died from this incident.
Anyway, here's the thing, many always fear my driving..... but to be honest, yes there is much room for improvement, but fatal accidents was not a consideration. I was relieved both the rider and his pillion was unhurt.... but Kenneth thinks there was no pillion rider! What!!! 2 of us both with perfect eye-sight saw different number of riders on the bike! Gordon was just as stunned as Kenneth and myself. For the 1st time, neither passengers commented that I was at fault here. Kenneth added in that he checked right as well earlier and it was clear too! Conclusion, this bike is FASTTTTT and the rider does not value his life.
P.S. Usually in near fatal accidents, the rider would contend with the car as his life was threatened. In this case, the bike though had to swerve to avoid an accident, never came after me. Either he doesn't care or he thinks he is at fault...... sweat sweat....
