While blog-hopping, I came upon a blog idea he he...When I was in High School, we went to Bali on buses and then a ferry. On the way there, our bus had an accident. Apparently the driver was sleepy, so our bus hit a car. I don't remember anymore what had happened, but it was surely rather serious, 'coz the car was small and our bus was HUGE. If I remember correctly, the car driver and passengers had to be taken to a hospital.
At that time most of us were sleeping 'coz it was such a LONG way from Bandung to Surabaya, but the noise woke us up. We didn't really feel the impact of the collision 'coz it was a huge bus, but we heard people talking outside and the bus had stopped moving for a while. In each bus there was at least one teacher, so we didn't have to deal with anything.
The bus driver had to go, so there was a LONG delay while we waited for the bus company to send another bus driver to drive us to Bali. We were supposed to arrive in the hotel in the evening (or late evening), but we finally arrived at around 3 am.
The next day, the students wanted to call their parents, so we all went to phone kiosks and we queued to be able to contact our families. Back then there were no mobiles yet in Indo, so we had to do it. I couldn't talk too long with my Mom 'coz there was a long line of students behind me, but when I told Mom about the accident, she said, "Oh, no wonder I was SO restless and I couldn't sleep well. I could only fall asleep after around 3 am."
Coincidence? Probably a mother's instinct he he he he...
I LOVE stainless steel products as they are long-lasting. One stainless steel product that I particularly like is stainless steel picture frames. They just look classic, clean, and durable. However, I had one incident while browsing for a picture frame for my brother. I was looking at some picture frames to decide which one to buy. They were all put on glass shelves and they were arranged so close to one another, so I had to be really careful. I was careful, but I guess I wasn't careful enough. I dropped one of them to the floor and broke the glass. The result? I had to buy it, of course. Have you ever experienced something like this? I HOPE NOT!!!
Anyway, speaking of incidents in a mall, I also remember another one. We were High School students back then and as usual, on Saturdays we went to the malls to have fun. One time we went to this stationery shop in the mall and we were browsing for cute Japanese pens. One of us had exactly the same type of pen and she put it in her uniform pocket (left chest pocket). As we were about to leave the shop, a security guard stopped us as he obviously had been watching us and he thought that she had stolen one pen.
Gladly her pen had some rust on it, so she could convince the security guard that it was an old pen, not a stolen one. Phew!!! It was the FIRST time we had ever been suspected of anything. From then on, we told the girl NEVER to put anything in her pocket anymore when we went to the malls he he he he...
