I though I may not have many years of driving and riding experience, I got my Class 2B May 1998, 2A Aug 2000, 3 July 1998. But Surely I got a lot of buang experience from my poly and army days till now with my small little bike and car that are not owned by me.
As far as I can remember, my first was with one of my best friends, Jervoise. I actually got kind of pissed will him after that, haha. The Best thing is it was directly outside Temasek Poly car park entrance to engineering block, right in front of the bus stop. THANK GOD there were not many ppl during that time and I was wearing a helmet so I dun think many ppl could recognise that it was me. Keke. Anyway my pillion Jervoise is like 80 to 90 kg, I was doing a left turn and as I was doing it, there seemed to be something like a pivot and the whole bike flipped to the other side after hitting something on the left. Now back to the part y I was pissed at him. after the fall, he was on top of me, the next he did after he got up was to go pick up his file instead of giving me a hand to help me up as I was injured, the scar is still around my waist, anyway be got a 'hole' in his too.
Talking about Jervoise, he was in someone’s car that zoomed pass a 9 year-old Honda Accord that is traveling at 170km/hr. The driver had just got his license like some 2days ago. That guy’s name is Fei Zai, only Jervoise knows the actual speed of that car.
Ever since I got my class 3, I like to drive (I’m still a P-plate) my Bro’s 9 year-old Honda Accord out with my friends. There was this occasion I was sending Alfred who lives in kallang bahru back from bedok on the PIE in the early morning (5am? I think). I exited at kallang thinking that the bend is like the other exit I have encounted but it was much shorter and stiff. Without knowing I enter it with too much speed and I start to hear loud screaming sound from my tires at the same time I was trying to turn the wheels back. I did the most perfect drift of my life as a p-plate, thanks to Alfred who actually added about 100kg of weight on the left of the car. The whole car would have over turn (cos he say that he can feel the car lifted up on his side during the turn)
With the same car, I was being challenged by buang king Edwin (sorry cos there is another Edwin later) on one occasion, somewhere in woodlands. I was sending his ex-gf home with him and my ex-gf was in the car beside mi too. I was traveling at some speed when he kept daring mi to corner on the next junction which I din know y in the end I did what he requested. I tapped on the brakes real late causing the car to swing all the way right on this left turn, thank God there was NO road divider in this junction man if not I dun know if I can still write this. Also there was no car! I dun no how I managed to pull and release the steering till I could resume control and carried on.
Another that is also quite significant actually involves lots of other stuff. It was one month plus before I was enlisted into the army, it started when I lost my wallet on a Friday, then the following Friday morning as I was going to work. I decided to ride my self there (usually I can take my brother's car, he was driving a march that time) when once I get to the main road it started to drizzle. My place is only less then 5mins ride there. Anyway I was behind a bus when a green Civic Cut into my lane, I jammed my brakes and the front wheel is locked and immediately the front tire gave way. Then I was on the way to hit that car and have not choice but to throw bike. I think it is the most painful fall I ever encounter, I though I broke my left leg. The Civic stopped by the side and as I tried to get to the pavement, he said sorry to me also telling me that he DIDN’T SEE ME cause I was too near the bus. JAM RIGHT! BTW he is Malay. However I was too shocked to know what do, as he was explaining to me what happened I told him to go and just leave me alone, obediently he did. I was still stone and didn’t know what to do. Till I finally remembered that I could call my brother and he came to pick me up to see a doctor, thank God there were only bruises, nothing was broken. I was on MC for a couple of days, on the following week Friday, something did happen, I finished bathing when I accidentally ‘touch” a recent reinforce basic and it fell onto the floor and broke causing the water to keep splashing out till the main valve was closed. However the pattern broke on the following day which is a Saturday (usually Friday ma), I borrowed my Bro car to pick my ex-gf from work, I think we were going out, on the way, I hit an old Honda accord while trying to filter left. In the end she took a cab to meet me instead. At the accident area. There some more things that happened after that on the following Monday but I guess it is too long to write.
During my army days, before I upgraded I was still riding a skipper. On one of the days I was going home from camp via PIE towards Changi, as usual like all bikes I was traveling in between lane 1 and 2 at about 80km/hr. The road was damp, the rain just stopped. Suddenly a car on my right wanted to cut in to lane 2, again I jammed my brake, my front wheel locked and gave way. I threw my bike and found myself sitting and sliding against the surface of the expressway. At this time I still could see my bike sliding in front of me with SPARK! (I think it is from the main stand), in my mind I was still thinking that I would be crushed by the car behind. At this point in time I saw my bike’s box came off (all this happened in just a couple of seconds.) I immediately faced back once the sliding stopped hoping to dodge any car that may crush into me. Thankfully all the cars on the three lanes noticed me. Still I have some time to pick up my box and carried it to my bike which had already slide to lane 3 which is near the road shoulder. I stayed there in daze for at less the next 15mins thinking it could worst. Finally I pulled myself together and slowly ride home.
My most recently was just 2 weeks back, driving a Nissan Sunny(my bro’s again) on a Saturday morning to pick up my friend for our final year project presentation. As I was exiting Bedok North exit on PIE(I am very familiar with this “S” bend in this exit) I lost control, the car start to skid and turn clockwise

30 June this day, the day to my 3months probation qouta of S$50,000. I missed by S$1120,so close yet so far, the worst thing to happened. Anyway I think I haben work hard enough, waiting for cases to close which is a big mistake.(another word i'm lazy)So conclusion is tat our Probation period will be extended to 4 months with total S$70,000. Which mean I will get confirm if and only if I get another S$21,120 and provided nothing goes wrong with current ones. So question is Can I achieved that? is there another reason y I missed? or isit planned? or God dUn wan m| to get confirm so easy or at this time where the others dun too? so much for to day ;) go ZZZzzZ
