I hope not! I don’t want to be superstitious so I’m only thinking of happy thoughts despite the fact that yesterday wasn’t one of the best days of my life.
I got into a car accident to no fault of my own. As so many of my friends and family members both offline and online (Facebook and Twitter) have told me that I should count myself fortunate that I only sustained minor injuries. A quick visit to the doctor after the accident confirmed that I have minor whiplash and I suspect I would have some bruising on my chest because of the seat belt.
What touched me the most was people’s concern about me.
MrG rushed to my side as soon as he heard about the accident even after telling him I was all right. He picked me up from work (I was still able to drive from the scene of the accident to my office as it was only less than a kilometre away), brought me to the doctor, bought my painkillers, brought my car to our car dealer to get fixed. All I had to do was talk to our insurer to file the claim.
My mum’s voice was quavering on the phone when she rang me after my sister told her about the accident. Bea’s reaction was the most endearing of them all.
She asked me:
“Mum, my heart is pounding when Mama told me what happened to you! Are you ok??”
She said so many other things to me. All of which showed her concern. It took me quite a while to calm her down before she believed that indeed, I am all right. Have I told you I have the best daughter in the world? I *heart* this child of mine 
Anyhoo, yes I refuse to believe that bad news come in threes and I’m hoping and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this is the last of the bad news for me or my family for a long, long time.

Ah you’ve joined the, rather extensive, group of people who have been in a car accident in Christchurch! I’ve been in 4 though so I’m not sure about the “bad news comes in 3’s” thing
2 people have driven into the back of me (like your accident) and one each into both sides!
I hope you manage to get everything sorted and you don’t have any problems with whoever else was in the accident.
Good on ya for having a camera with you and taking some pics at the accident site.
hey, seeztah! too late the hero na ako but I hope you’re way better now! ingat lagi!
HI Tin
Sorry to hear about your accident but I am glad to know you are ok.
Be careful please. See you soon.
B xo
here in sg, buckling-up is enforced but not strictly unlike when we were in germany. but it’s better safe than sorry.
buti ok ka lang. wish you safety always.
Mareng Tin! Grabe when did this happen? Kami din eh =( Just yesterday naisip namin lumabas to buy pizza for dinner. So palabas na kami ng parking lot nag-ba-back up hawak ko pa si Bienne ilalagay ko pa lang sa car seat tapos biglang ang lakas ng impact sa right side ng car thank God hindi ko nabitawan si Bienne. Ung patrol car ng maintenance ng apartment namin we believe is driving so fast. Ang liit liit ng cart nya ang lakas ng bunggo siguro akala nya papasok kami ng parking lot namin di siya nakatingin kaya super apologetic ang Office ng apartment samin. Kaya sabi ko kay Poms from now on hindi siya aandar pag hindi ko pa nalalagay sa car seat si Bienne. The insurance and the apartment will shoulder the damage of our car. Thank God that was just it and thank God din you’re all right.
hi mrsG! i hope the accident didn’t leave you too shaken. ingats and god bless.
nakuuuu! ingat ka palagi ha!
glad to know you’re okay, tin. keep safe.
Allo Mrs G,
.
I hope that you’re feeling much better. You sound like you have a great family support. Concentrate on your recovery. I can relate to Bea so much. Back in my juniors, my mom had a car accident and I waited for her the whole day and then I got a call that she was in an accident. She has fully recovered. Please take care
