A normal bus journey home that usually takes 5-10 minutes took double that time today. To us, it could be just another ordinary day, but to others, life had just taken a completely different turn.
Frustration was building up in the bus when the crowded bus was inching forward so slowly on an entirely straight path. People started to get impatient and peered out of the windows to find out the cause of this wait. I too, did the same because my legs were aching from all the standing. All there were, was flashing yellow-blue lights which passed off a rather ominous feeling. You hear ambulance sirens, you see crowds all around the accident site, you see police cordoning off the area- bad signs.
And fear crept in. I know i'm being silly. But it was my neighbourhood, the exact road that everyone in the family takes every single day. I rushed home. All is well.
What if it turned out otherwise?
Such, is the fragility and uncertainty of life.
/A brother was fetching his younger brother home from school on a bicycle and they got run down by an oncoming cement mixer. Bicycle flattened, both didn't make it.
Tragic.
my condolences

my saltwater sandals
Just order these cutie Saltwater sandals from America. So excited to get see them!
Wishing with all my might that i will get them before CNY!!
Oh btw they are called saltwater because they were designed to survive even in sea water.
Appropriate shoewear to the beach even!
*happy girl*
