Another close shave

I guess in one's life, there are plenty of times where we almost die. Anything can happen. Anytime. Anywhere. Most of the time, we don't realise how close we came to getting killed or into a near death experience, or maybe just an accident that doesnt happen everyday to us.

Today, i got into yet another "OMG I almost got knocked down by a car" drama. It was in church, and i was delighted i could finally go home (i was waiting for an hour for someone). I walked my way to the car while looking back and waving goodbye to my friends (4 girls and 2 guys). Yeah, i wasnt looking where i was going (but the coast seemed clear before i started walking). Then came all the "ahhh!!!", "Audrey!", "Watch out!!!", and "Car!!!"-s.

It was alarming. Suddenly all the happy faces turned into faces of alarm. I turned round and found a four wheel drive was quickly reversing towards me. I know four wheel drives. It's hard for them to see anything behind them. I didnt know wat to do. I moved away as quickly as i could, but i knew i would get knocked anyway if the driver didnt stop or at least slow down. Luckily, the car stopped in time. I guess the driver heard the screams or caught a glimpse of me in time.

I guess I'm sorta used to this kind of experiences. So I was just shocked for a very short time. Thank God I didnt start cursing or anything. Turns out the driver was the father of one of the guys i was talking to.

I thank God i didnt die today or get hurt today. I still have one ice-cream cone left in my fridge. Haha.. I'm kidding. U all know y im grateful. No one wants to get hurt.
