Wake up call!

Something happened yesterday that kinda scared the shit out of me the more i thought about it.

Here's what happened..

I was driving along the expressway just below the speed limit. Then on the lane next to mine, there was this lorry that was carrying some goods at the back. The goods were packed in rectangular boxes and cling-wrapped. There was about 6-10 boxes in a stack. It was those open-top lorry so i could see that there were about 8 of such stacks in the back.

It looked innocent enough until suddenly i saw something flew off from the lorry! My mum who was in the passenger seat also saw what happened. Apparantly the top most box got detached from the stack perhaps due to the speed and flew off the lorry.. I was just beside it. What scares me is..what if i was BEHIND it!?!?!?

From the rearview mirror, i saw the box land right in the middle of the lane. I thank God that no car or motorcycle was right behind it or in the path at that point of time!!!!

Soooo freaky la!! It's almost like a wake up call! That life is soo fragile. That even though you may take the neccessary precautions on a daily basis, some shit due to another person's lack of competency or just pure bad luck can end your life!!!

I know im thinking too much into this.. But it sure did serve its purpose. I now feel even more grateful to be alive! Im sooo grateful that due to habit, i always stay on the 1st lane at that area.. Im so grateful that noone else was hurt too. Or at least to what i saw,nobody seemed to be right behind it.

Oh well.. Some say live life like it is the last day. Some say live like your life would never end. I say alternate between the two frequently and you've got yourself a pretty good game plan!
