An unforgetttabe experience.

"Pls pray for us coz we juz got into a car accident. Waiting for ambulance.."

That was the msg I send to my cg and joleen minutes after the air bag punched into my face and smell of "fireworks" filled the car.

We were on our way to church when it happened. The last I remember was using mr choo hp and trying to click some credit card promo and the next thing I knew was both air bags were released n joy was crying in pain.

We were the 3rd car in a chain collision. Not too sure what happened as all the Things happened too fast.


We weren't traveling v fast as the right lane was closed for gardening. Hadn't had the chance to go back to see the video.

The paramedics came and attended to us. Joy and I had minor cuts and bruises. Went to SKGH for more assessment and was discharged 4 hrs later. The pain and aftermath shock would probably come later.

Joy is still in shock. After all, this is her first car accident.

Looking at how damaged the car is, I can only thank God for his protection on the 3 of us. There are so many things to be thankful for:
1) twins are at my mum's place at time of incident
2) beside the minor cuts and wounds that Joy and I suffered, we seem otherwise Okie.
3) we didn't wait for a long time at SKGH. In fact, Joy was the only kid at PAED. She said 3 doctors and 2 nurses assessed her. I wasn't with her when we reached the hosp as all 3 of us went to different depts to be taken care of.
4) Joy had 6 stitches on her chin. But that was it. Thankfully not on her face or eyes.
5) all 3 of us were belted. Otherwise she probably would have flung out from the impact.
6) thank God for seat belts and air bag.

God protected us from any major injuries. In fact we could walk over to compass one to get Koi for Joy (hopefully that will relieve her traumatic experience) and took a cab to my mom's place after that.

As much as I shudder to think what s going to happen to the car and the possible huge claims coming up, I need to remind myself that thankfully no one was hurt (major). Not the other car ; nor us. Thank God for his protection and covering. Praying that Joy will be able to sleep tonight.

She still try to smile just so that her grandma won't be worried. Thank God for her maturity.
