Went to office feeling disturbed that morning.
1. Earlier that morning, 4 persons took my dad's cab and they alighted at 4 different places. The last person ran off without paying.
2. PIE was very jammed. Nearer to the beginning (not far after turning into PIE from Eunos), a motorcyclist got injured and was lying on the left shoulder lane. Think his right leg was injured. After that, I thought the traffic would be smoother but no. And later I also realised that this man would have to wait for a long time before he could get any medical attention in the hospital as there was another accident further down.
3. Further down, a taxi, car and motorcyclist collided. The motorcyclist died and his body was on the right shoulder lane. About a few meters away I already noticed the number signs - those that the police used on crime scenes; and knew that the accident must have been fatal. But seeing the body lying motionless with a white plastic over it and the helmet on top so that the plastic won't fly off, made the feeling somewhat more bluey? dampened? gloomy? glum? Hmmm...I don't know how to describe that feeling.
Worse, the next day, Elaine alerted me to an e-mail that announced the demise of one of our Ministry's staff who died because of an accident. Sigh...it was the accident I saw the previous day.
