He left to save lives but in the end he couldn’t even save his own…
- Mr Bf. -


Mr.Bf went back to Sitiawan to attend his cousin sister’s wedding yesterday night. So did one of his cousin’s friend who came all the way from Singapore. Apparently (i was informed via sms), the friend is a doctor and had to be back in Singapore for some medical emergency today. So he left earlier than planned; took an express bus back from Perak to Singapore.

Ten die, 19 injured in bus crash near Tangkak (Update)
By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH

MUAR: A nine-year-old girl was among 10 people killed when their express bus skidded and crashed into a tree along the North-South Expressway near Tangkak.

Most of the passengers, some were going to Johor Baru and Singapore, and some returning from Perak, were asleep when the incident happened.

I’m not acquainted and haven’t even met the friend before but when i heard the tragic news i felt a pang of remorse. Poor Mr.Bf’s cousin is now in distress. I guess i would feel the sadness and guilt too if it was my wedding. Sigh… it’s just fate.

I hope the accident is not due to the bus driver’s reckless driving which most probably is. Why is there increasing number of bus accidents in Malaysia and nobody is doing anything effective to curb it??!

Whatever it is… let’s say our prayers and may he rest in peace…

I hope tonight i won’t have nightmares of bus over-turning. I think i just developed a complex of taking public transport especially express buses. I’ll never ride whatever buses to anywhere anymore.

    I just have this terrible dream the day after new year. Normally I won’t remember any dream and if I remember, the things mostly will happen. It also involves bus ride and me in it. It’s terrible and actually I always travel by express bus back home every month and everytime I ride one, I will always think of the worst. Sometimes it is really fate..I wonder how 1 can cheat fate..it’s almost impossible…anyway, happy new year. may you and your family have a blessed year ahead!
