what seems like a perfect weekend was marred by a minor car accident which took place this morning.
my friend's vehicle accidentally 'kissed' the bumper of the car in front as the latter applied emergency brake to avoid a cyclist trying to beat the traffic.
as i sat in the car watching the settlement taking place, i felt super guilty as our conversation might have distracted him. the consequence of the oversight cost my friend $350 as he chose to pay for the damages on the spot.
as he sat beside me during the service, he looked tramatised and was unable to concentrate.
sigh... i'm bad with words and i didn't know what to say to help him deal with the aftermath.
driving gives one a strong sense of empowerment. however to maintain a car isn't easy. momentary carelessness can easily burn a hole in the pocket.
