Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, how cautious you are, things still happened. Just like Friday night, or rather, Sat morning (around 3am), I was hit by a careless taxi driver while I'm crossing the road towards home. I know that at this late hour, drivers always have the tendency to ignore the red traffic light meant for them to stop. So I made sure all the cars on that road stopped before crossing. I know the road I'm crossing is a dangerous road where accidents happened before. While crossing, I even take note of the taxi that was going to turn right towards the road I'm crossing. I kept staring at the taxi while walking. I saw it not moving yet, at the T-junction, although its green light for him, and also "green man" for me. I saw it moving towards my direction slowly while I'm still walking. I continued to walk while looking at the taxi, thinking that he's waiting for me to cross the road like what a normal driver should and will do. However, as it moves slowly and reaching me, instead of stopping, he actually accelerated. I don't even have the time to dodge! While I heard the acceleration sound, I was puzzled and shock, thinking why he accelerates when he's so near me, probably about 2-3m distance? And the next thing I know, I was hit at my right side and landed on the floor. I was probably lifted up by the knock because I was half lying down, with my left elbow supporting myself. Wanted to get up quickly and move to the roadside, worried that other cars will be coming my way. Ended up I can't stand up myself because of the hurt elbow and the impact of the knock. The taxi uncle came down asking if I'm ok and telling me he will help me to the roadside. I was hit by a taxi even when I'm so careful about the surrounding cars! This is crazy..
Don't even know if I'm suffering any internal injuries or if my organs are affected. But external injuries definitely can't be avoided. Can't even sleep well when I'm so tired. :( 3 days mc but I've so much work to do. Tomorrow is a half day and thought that I probably can go back work. The second doc told me not to walk much, so I guess I'll jus stay home. Also, tomorrow is the food tasting for sis' wedding dinner! Shall look forward to nice food then, although I've to eat with people I don't know and with a bandage on my ankle. What a way to end 2012, isn't it!
