EXCLUSIVE : A second chance to live :)

YEA, a second chance to live.

Till now , it is still replaying in head. I thought over and over again, what if the tree had landed right on my car's roof ? It was just a matter of one or two seconds, I might have died.
I still couldn't believe that it actually happened to me. Often read freak accidents on newspapers or see it on tv, but I thought it would never happen to me.
Like Aunty Ling said, I am not invisible. Things like this can happen to anyone or anywhere. But I was lucky. Really LUCKY indeed. I cheated death.


To those who have not been informed, I was involved in an accident two nights ago. 29th Feb 2008 - the night I will never ever forget.
I thought twice about blogging bout it but I finally blogged about it anyway.

I was working hours before it happened. I was informed by my captain that there will be 30 tables to serve on the 1st of march. And I was feeling a little lazy and I jokingly told my friend,Moe : I'm not coming tomorrow night. I will be sick. wakakaka~!! We were laughing over it but that was no laughing matter to me anymore. I did not come to work for real. Not one night indeed, I won't be working anymore. lol , thats why.. silly me, my stupid joke came true. I believe, there's always a meaning in every words you say so better watch every word you say. LOL. *smacks my face* :p


Two hours before- Still happily camwhoring, showing off my new blue eyeliner =p

10.30pm , done with work. yay! I was really excited to go home and play my baby lappy. I was thinking of opening a facebook account. I kept thinking about it the whole night, I though about the layouts, the profile, the photos. My dad came to fetch me. Usually, my mum fetches me from work but weird, my mum was lazy as it was raining heavily so she told my dad to fetch me instead.My mum often reminded me to use the safety belt. I wore it eveyday indeed on the way to work and from work. But silly me, I did not use it that night. I wanted to when I got into the car. The thought of using was in my mind but I was like thinking : don't need la to use for one night. i'll be reaching home in 5 to 10 minutes time anyway. *smacks my face again*


I was really exhausted because I've been sleeping really late. I did not talk much to my dad in the car although he did talk to me a little. I did not responded much. But in my head, I kept thinking about Facebook. keke :P We were going the same road every single night to head home. The road where we can go the beach. We were passing the Shell station - beside Midnight Tomyam and nearby Pantai Selamat. And then, I saw it. A shadow of a huge tree falling. Before I can even say anything or even warn my dad who was driving , then there it was. CRASH! The tree fell right on the windscreen.I screamed. I don't know why but the first thing I did was to close my face with my two hands. I felt pain on my head. I panicked more when I felt warm blood flowing and oozing out from my head. I opened my eyes a little - with my hands still closing my face. And I couldn't believe what I saw. Blood was all over my white unform. I quickly shut my eyes closed. I cried non-stop and screamed for my dad. I really thought I was going to die right there. I kept praying- that I don't die at that moment. I was already thinking about my family and my friends. Everyone of you. I don't wanna live the world early. I was determined to live. I reminded myself to be strong no matter how I was bleeding badly. All I heard was my dad saying : Beth beth~ U okay ? Omg omg. beth! And very quickly , some men opened the passenger's door. Some passerby. He tried to drag me out but I was too heavy. My dad helped. Both of them dragged me across the other side of the road and dragged me into the man's car parked in front of Midnight Tomyam. My hands were still on my face , I did not dare to look.


The man drove quickly to the nearby hospital - Kuantan Specialist Hospital. I was losing a lot blood at that time so my dad did not want to sent me to the general hospital. I was sent straight to the emergency centre. By then, I put down my hands and I opened my eyes. I was brought into the emergency room. It did not hurt that much by then but I was shocked to see so much blood. I was soaking with blood- it was as if I just had a bath with blood. yuck*
My dad called my mum earlier so minutes after, my mum arrived. My mum held my hand and cried. I cried that instant too. My dad told her it wasn't that serious but she couldn't believe it was not serious when I was really drenched with blood. Then , I saw my uncle . My dad's friend came too. Then , my cousin Kareen and her boy came too. All told me not to cry..

Ohya, the first thing I said to my dad when they brought me out from the car is : Pa. Find my handphone pls. My handphone, I want it. hahaha, so everyone went to look for it and thank God they found it.The second thing was I told my mum to call Karlisyle and tell my other friends. lol , that was in case I did not survive -.-

The doctor came and look at my wound. He had to do an operation right away, I was losing way too much blood. But sadly , he told me that I had to shave my hair off. I cried , I did not want to half bald. But he strongly replied that there was no compomising about it. I had to do it.

At around 1am , I was brought to operating theatre. Thank God I was gonna be unconcious during the process. I lied on the operating bed, and they told me to closed my eyes. I was given some injection to make me sleep. I did not know what happened then. I was sleeping soundly. Then, I heards voices calling my name. I was hoping it was just a nightmare. I was hoping that I was lying on my bed ,ready for work like usual. But nope, I was lying on the operation bed. argh, I can feel the pain on my head. I felt worst than before the operation. Doctor told us that it was a difficult operation because my wound was overlapping and deep. It took him about two hours to get done with it. I could not sleep the whole night coz' of the pain. I was given drip on my hand.


Anyway , nothing major happen to my dad. Just little bruises on his neck and around his chest. The tree fell right on my side. I was sitting on the left side. My lips were swollen badly. I looked really retard. lol :)


The next morning, my mum and my sister came. My sister cried at home and I still can see her swollen eyes.

I had many visitors the whole day. Many said I was lucky , I cheated death for real. I'm really happy to see everyone though - although I looked really really pale.


Anyway , I wanna thank to all who had visited me in the hospital :
Aunty Ah Wah.Kareen.Colleen.Aunty Ling.May Jean. Aunty Sherry and Uncle Tham,Deanna, Nadia Zuai,Mr Chen.Puan Nyon.Aunty Kin.Karlisyle.Kerryn.Caroline.Kamarul.Ju Vin.Azfar.Zul.Jia Li.Wan Theng.Roger C.Kerina.Aunty Yoke Lee.Jeremy.
And also those who text-ed me and prayed for me. To everyone who had been there for me.:)
Thanks the doctor to who had given the best for me :)
Also my family :)

I am now back at home. I stayed at the hospital for two nights. But I had to go back to replace a new dressing on Tuesday. I was feeling bad yesterday and I apologize to those who came at the wrong time when they gave me medicine to make me sleep. I was drugged :p I am feeling much better today. My wound hurts a little, but ain't that bad like yesterday. I am still pale, but not so pale like yesterday. My lips ain't really swollen but still a little blood cut on my upper lips. I can talk now and online :P And I am going to open my facebook account very soon *giggles* My body hurts alot now as I had minor blue blacks all over. So I am not allowed to do any sudden movement. My hair is partially bald in front. I am very upset about it though , I cried during my mum gave me my bath to clean the blood of my hair. But overall, I'm doing real fine here. =)


But the tragedy was really tragic. I am a little traumatized by the incident. And I don't think I want to take driving license that soon. But I thank God that nothing worst happen. It was just the wrong place, and the wrong timing. Only my car got crashed badly. Bye bye car. Everyone went to have a look at the tree and everyone got shocked as the trunk was damn huge. I did not get a chance to view it though. Just imagine what if the heavy trunk can do in just another second. The car like I said , badly damaged. The windscreen shattered into pieces and the dashboard was pushed inside. I was darn lucky. My grandma jokingly said that I have a hard head and hard legs. lol , well.. thank God I am strong :) :)

Well, the incident did make me realise that anything can happen anywhere at anytime. I became even stronger and I have a different view in life now.I am more aware now, not like the old me who was more ignorant. I am beginning to appreciate every single person and thing now. I am beginning to appreciate my life more. It make me felt closer to God and my family especially my dad.

Well, like people said- things happen for a reason. I cannot go to work anymore or hang out outside for weeks and even lost my hair which I love a lot but when I think about the bright side, I am safe :)

Thanks again for all of your support. Hearts all of u :)
