My BlackBerry Met With An Accident

Was thinking if I want to blog about this... But I decided I need to record the lessons I learnt from the incident.

JX wanted to to recce a restaurant at Mount Faber for his zone event. So we went with the kids, intending to bring them for a Cable Car ride.

I usually put my BB and keys ON TOP of the car while putting Debbie into her carseat... Well you guessed it! This time, I LEFT THEM THERE and JX drove off... It was not until we reached AYE that we heard something hit the boot and fell off the car...:( I turned my head and saw something red and orange rolled off... Yes, my orange BB cover... We were still wondering what hit us from above when I suddenly remembered, it was my phone!!!

Immediately JX stopped the car by the roadside and said he will help me get it back! He left the car and started walking back... I was still in a shock and then I imagined him whizzing past the trucks and heavy vehicle, and then reports of how people were killed along expressways came into my mind. I was thinking he is too important than having the BB back...

I left the kids and maid in the car; placed the hazard triangle behind the car and walked back to find JX. We stopped after the Alexandra flyover and I have to walk back to the AYE ERP gantry to catch up with JX... It was a horrifying experience walking along the shoulder with the heavy traffic zooming past us.

When I finally found JX, we saw my orange BB cover flying along the 2nd lane...:p But the BB was no longer in sight. We saw some metal parts; it was probably the "remains" of my phone. Almost did a funeral there...:p

I told JX the reason I came after him is to stop him from getting the phone for me. He is more important to me than for him to risk his life for my phone. Even if the phone is lying there, I wouldn't let him run across the highway to retrieve it. I felt so stupid for leaving the phone on top of the car, and I also realised that JX wants nothing more than for me to feel happy... Even when he does not know how he can get the phone back for me; it probably means risking his life for it...:(

We walked back to the car together... The horrifying thoughts of bad news reports I read of how cars were hit when they stopped at the shoulder came to my mind. I was praying hard that the hazard triangle works... I was secretly rejoicing when I finally saw the car and the kids safe inside.

Well, a few lessons I learnt...
1) Never leave your phone on top of your car...:p
2) My husband will do anything to make me happy
3) Relationship is more important than material goods. I can always buy another phone; but I only have 1 husband...:)
