Singapore Always Feels Et-home

Well, looks like it was a premature ending to my family's Malacca trip(except for my brother, but i'll tell you why in a while.)

The story goes like this:

On the winding highways of Malaysia, the sun paraded itself in the sky with pride. It was absolutely perfect weather for suntanning, unless you're caught in the middle of a foreign road with your car's rear smashed in.
Three frail looking vehicles hobbled over to the side of the road, victims of an unfortunate event. Curiously enough, the two taxis in front of the vehicles, the prime cause of the accident, were miraculously unscathed. The two services had stopped in the middle of a busy expressway on a public holiday. Their rationale and reason, only known to their passengers and drivers.
Their short hiatus from a long journey left the remaining vehicles in a cruel twist of fate. While both the white Proton and the metallic silver Honda civic were able to stop just in time behind the taxis, the third seemed to prove otherwise. An untimely break by its driver caused the black Daihatsu to kick start a domino effect, which ended with the white Proton barely touching the rear bumper of the second taxi.



While both the Proton and Daihatsu seemed to be out of any condition to drive, amazingly enough, the civic was still in condition to drive all the way out of the country.



Now you know why i'm back in Singapore.
Thank God that no one was hurt, not even the other drivers and passengers ;)
My lucky brother was in another car with one of my dad's friends and now he gets to shop!
But i think its still a bummer for him since we're all not there.
Oh well, hope he comes back safely.
