Yesterday was a replacement holiday for my work but I would still need to fetch the elder one to school in the early morning. The elder had commented that he wanted to be at school a bit earlier instead of leaving him only 5 minutes before the bell rang. And so we left house at 7am. The assess to the school always clear except at the junction before the school entrace. However, it was messy that morning as there was traffic jam. I saw a school bus halted at the mid of the road and people gathering, protraiting a scene of classic accident.
I passed by without stopping as I always did not want to witness such incident. I could never feel better on such occasion. I turned to the left when passing by the bus and glimpsed the legs and the body has been covered with newspaper. I knew it was a fatal case. It involved either a bicycle or motorcycle... I was so sad that I immediately cursed the bus driver. I bet it would be a case of ignorant of the bus driver. I saw how those school bus being driven as they always tried to squeeze through and speed off. I also saw where the bus stopping at the mid of the busy road and asking the students to get down with the passingby cars not farther than half a feet away. Damn!
I was so sorry on the spot of this loss of life. I hope the boy will rest in peace. I am sorry. I just could not offer a helping hand. I switched to another alternative route to return home as I could not bear the feeling of seeing loss. I am sorry!Today, on my birthday, I saw this photo on the STAR and it immediately reminded me of the incident. I could swear it was the deadly accident I saw yesterday. This photo really has an impact to me. I remembered the reminder ..."the kids must not have motorcycles" and this is the reminder from you, Soo King. I remember!
