song of the day: fall out boy - hum hallelujah

i'll try to be as descriptive as possible for this post.
yesterday at about 11.25pm, yong sheng and i witnessed an accident. =(
i met him at keat hong lrt to return his bag and chatted a while before hearing a screeching sound, following with a loud PIANG!
we turned and we saw a car (quite a nice one) crashed into a huge trunk of a tree just at the road leading to the ulu ulu campsite beside palm gardens at teck whye lane.
our first response was to get to the car to see if the passengers were alright, which was just 20m away from us!
i think we're the only two around who actually witness the whole thing man.
when we got there, many people got out of their cars to see if they can help.
i saw people calling for ambulance and police and some were reassuring the victims.
i was worried if any of them fell unconscious or whatever cause i might need to do cpr X.x
the ambulance arrived within like 2mins which was really fast and started the rescue.
1st, the metal stretcher was attached and we were asked to help to get the victims out.
so we went over and pulled out the 1st victim who was the driver from the wrecked car and positioned him on the stretcher.
there's blood on his t-shirt and quite a long scar across his face.
the 2nd victim was harder to pull out cause he's like stuck at the left side of the car which was dented from the impact of the collision.
he had an injury on his head which made his whole face really bloody and it was quite a grotesque sight.
he was then pulled out with much force by all and was placed on the stretcher too.
just then, i was kinda shock that they're actually about my age!
from their faces they're only about 18-21 at the most.
the front seats were also kinda bloody and pieces of broken glasses were everywhere on the floor.
the two victims were shaking and groaning by the time they were out and i could really feel their pain.
i felt really sorry for them lo and was wondering what could have caused the accident.
drink driving? cant smell alcohol.
inexperienced? perhaps.
ys was thinkin maybe they're quarrelling. perhaps.
nobody knows what actually caused it and im really curious. =/
it was lucky that the accident wasnt really a fatal one and both of them were quite intact.
i hope they're alright by now :)
we decide not to stay on any longer in case police comes to get our testimonials blah.
we went home after seeing them being carried into the ambulance.
i washed my hands to make sure there were no blood stains >.<
actually i duno what possessed me to go over to help get the victims out but i remembered the 1st thing on my mind was to save them but how!! argh.
eventually, the ordeal was over and im glad i lent a hand during such crucial moment.
i shared my story with some and went to sleep at 1230am =/

actually the whole thing made me realise and cherish those who're close to me.
i felt lucky to be alive and grateful to whatever that saved us cause we're really close to the thing and we could be lying on the stretcher instead of others.
so people, cherish your love ones and never allow yourself to regret over what you've done.
if you're sorry to someone, apologise! there's nothing to be afraid of.
as we've no idea bout what our future will be like, love and cherish the times with your love ones, dont be shy to let them know how much you love them. =)

with this, i end my post.
take care people!
