damn suay
damn!! got into an accident (a minor one actually... but the most serious one so far for my car). involves me and my car only.i was going for a medical appointment at national skin centre yesterday from home and since this is the first time i am driving there, as usual i will read the streetdirectory to plan my journey, so more or less settled that i will go from upper bukit timah rd to dunearn rd to newton circus and out to newton rd and finally moulmein rd.
and for those who have been to newton circus... well u have to agree that it can be quite complicated for first-timer.
I am supposed to take the blue route as shown above. but unfortunately, i made the wrong exit (red route) and went straight into bukit timah rd ahead... knew sth is amiss when i saw KK hospital on my left hand side and simlim square in front!!! so i made a U -turn and hope that i can reach back to newton road and continue my journey. subsequently i saw a slip rd and tot that it could lead me to newton rd, so i entered the road and to my horror, i actually reached orchard rd and had to pass thru the ERP gantry! damn. at this point i tot maybe i should go home instead. but i remembered another way to national skin centre is to go by CTE and exit to moulmein rd and i decided to try... luckily it is the correct direction.
so after i exited CTE, i saw communicable disease centre (CDC) opposite the rd and i remembered that i have to make a U-turn (red route). so after the u-turn i continued forward and saw the signboard saying national skin centre. dammit.. shouldn't they put the signboard in front of the turn-in rather than behind? it doesn't give people enough time to prepare! anyway my instinct then was to turn, at 60-70km/h. i dunno why i did that. just an instinct. and cos the speed is too fast and the angle of turning is too acute, i mounted the kerb as shown in the blue oval and sustained scratches over my front right wheel rim and right buttock sprain. the only consolation is that i didn't scratch the rest of my car.
sighzzz. now my car is misaligned after the impact and there goes part of my money again.
The leson learnt is dun turn when u are travelling too fast.
on a lighter note, now i have conquered all the expressways in singapore!
