I have tears in my eyes as I start this post.

I had wanted to blog about this last night at 2.30am, but my eyes were blood-shot and dry(I hadn’t worn my contact lens for weeks due to dry eyes, and finally wore them yesterday and they got really bad), I could hardly keep them open.

Recently I kept having strange dreams. It was also some strange feelings I have been feeling, and I kept screaming for people to slow down these days, especially when I am on bikes. I get unsettled on the road, greatly.

After running to Orchard(Shiseido’s office), Comex(May had to park at Raffles City and we made the dreaded journey there), and back to office(my manager had wanted to speak to me again after I declined their counter-offer), I met up with Roumin before her boyfriend fetched us to Vivocity for dinner.

We headed to karaoke thereafter.

They offered me a lift home, and slowed as they approached somewhere near my place. I opened my painful and itchy eyes, I saw a huge SCDF engine occupying half of the road, with its red lights screaming for attention.

I was roused awake, and sat up straight wondering what was wrong. It was around 2am.

When we went past the engine, we didn’t see any wreckage, nor any vehicle, and I could see some cars and bikes stopping by the side of the road, and passers-by stopping to watch.

What I saw was this team of more than 10 SCDF men, in their uniform, crowding in a circle as a team, and I got really curious.

An ambulance was parked right before them.

As we went past them, it was from a slight gap did I notice the white mess wedged in the midst of these men.

And then it made sense to me what could be happening.

The car had hit the divider, into those green metal fencing(to stop jay walkers), and the tree. The impact was so great that the front of the car was compressed, and that’s why we didn’t see the wreckage in the beginning.

The car was facing against the flow of the traffic, which shows that it had spinned a little before crashing into the tree.

My heart chilled at the sight. It was… I don’t know.

The uniformed men seemed like they were trying to coordinate… and I commented that it seemed to me they were trying to cut someone free, and probably it was the driver.

I was hoping he was just pined beneath the metal and alive. The ambulance was on standby.. right?

As much as I was tired, I didn’t manage to sleep at all. I couldn’t shake the blur image(my vision was blurry by then due to the dryness) off my mind.

I tossed and turned until I finally slept around 4ish.

When talking to a friend about it today, I don’t know why I just blurted, “I hope he and the passenger will be alright, but… “.

I didn’t know before hand there was a passenger.. and it just came out like this.

It was a heartbreaking sight. It truly was.

And just moments ago, while surfing for today’s news on OMY…(actually, yes, I was looking out for the news of this accident, cos, it unsettled me quite a bit):

计划在090909结婚的准新人，今天凌晨参加友人生日宴会后回家，岂料归途中轿车失控，猛撞上一棵大树，双双魂断公路！　　

这对准新人是25岁的黄顺杰和林美燕。准新郎生前是名警员，隶属警察部队警犬组，准新娘则是名查账员。　　

两人乘坐的汽车是在今天凌晨1时50分左右，于裕廊镇大会堂路和裕廊东13街的交界处撞上中央分界堤，再冲撞上一棵大树，导致整辆汽车毁不成形，形同废铁。　　

两人在猛烈的撞击后当场死亡，准新郎受困于车座中，需由民防部队以液压撑离器将车门撬开，尸体方可被移出。女死者则被抛飞出车外，跌落路面惨死。　　

准新娘林美燕的母亲陈玉娟受访时表示，女儿和男友事发前刚参加了朋友的生日宴会，男友正送女儿回返武吉巴督的住家，岂料却在途中出事。　　

“我12点的时候还有打电话给女儿，她说很累，我就叫她赶快回来。怎知到今早5点都没见到她，，两人的电话又打不通，后来才接获她出事的噩耗。”　　

母亲透露，两人刚在星期二预购了位于榜鹅的一所5房式单位，并已经计划好在明年9月9日结婚，开始人生的另一阶段。而出事的汽车也是两人合买的。　　

母亲也说，两人生前还共同领养了一只狗，小狗周日都由男友照顾，周末则交给女儿。昨晚9时当男友把狗带来时，母亲还特地嘱咐他：“小心开车！”。

清秀女死者脸蛋被撞歪　　　　

母亲透露，女儿在车祸中整个人被抛飞出车外，头部的伤势非常严重。　　

据她所见，女儿的脸被撞得歪了一边，额头肿胀。　　

另外，在猛烈的撞击力下，轿车车头毁不成形，如纸般皱成一团，形同废铁。车头里的零件也掉落在现场，被撞的树的树皮也脱落，可见撞击非常猛烈。

The 25 years-old couple who planned to get marry on 09-09-09 died in the accident. The lady was flung out of the vehicle, whilst the driver’s body was freed from the wreckage only after the SCDF used the compressor to cut him free.

By the time I went past, the lady was already removed from the scene.

The article spoke of the parents’ pain. But I can’t even begin to imagine how painful it must be for them.

Condolences, for I can’t write more.

I.. don’t know why I am so greatly affected.
