Shocked, eventful mths

End Oct to Nov is eventful months for me. experienced heartpain, insomnia etc cos dad was seriously ill. called ambulance to send him to ttsh on 26 oct 11 plus and mum and i went home at 4am next day. i couldnt sleep the whole day, worrying and praying for dad. he was hospitalised for 11 days. we went to visit him every evening aft wk. was surprised he could be discharged that day cos on the eve, nurse still told me not so soon. applied upa to pick up dad.

busy weeks with marking of scripts at same time...

Near accident on 19 nov
nearly got knocked down by van as i cycled across the road at junction near hg point. green light is just blinking and i cycled. at same time, a van on my right is turning towards my direction without stopping! i realised the van brushed against the side and basket of my bicycle. i braked and fell on road, just felt pain on my right palm. the driver stopped and got down immediately, wanting to send me to hospital but i refused cos i wasnt hurt badly, just some bruises. he kept asking and i said i needed to go sch for meeting (staff seminar for 1st day of fortnight workplan). Another passer-by helped me too. the cap of my water bottle broke badly and my belongings were flying all over the road. Bicycle seat was distorted but i din realise that the bicycle chain came out cos they helped me to inspect the bike for any damages. so i let the driver go off. tried to push my bike over the road and i realised chain came out. tried to repair but was futile. my hands were blackish, time was running out so i just parked my bike at bus stop. walked to sch with xue juan, happened to meet her while i tried to repair my bike.
had a shock but it was indeed a narrow escape!
