Peace of Mind

Previous few weeks, read in the newspaper about this guy who died in a bike accident. He is on his way to meet up with his gf for dinner when the accident happen. The gf who was waiting at her place, started to panic when he did not turn up after an hour. She bombed his mobile with smses and calls but in vain.. until a police officer picked up her call and informed her that her bf is dead....

Today... read in the newspaper about a group of Malays who rid their bikes up to Genting Highlands for a holiday... brothers, frenz and gerfrenz all together.... they made it safety up to Genting.... then one of the guys received a call from another of their motorbike frenz who is in Thailand informing him that he met up with an accident and cant ride back due to an injured hand... so two of the guys after sending the rest back to Singapore rode up to Thailand to help the frenz in need... in the end instead of helping the frenz in need, they died in an accident at North-South Highway near to Ipoh, Malaysia.... their gfs tried to persuade them about the dangers of the trip.. but their bfs never listen to them....and in turn reassure them that nothing will happen.... but sad to say, something did happen..... and you will never have the chance to regret making that decision....

They were riding a 1300cc motorbike... I bet they trusted their own riding skills and their powerful bike so much that they thought it wouldnt be that much of a problem riding to and fro to Thailand....I wonder how would their frenz in need feels.. you asked your frenz to ride up there to help you in the end you are still alive and kicking.... whereas your frenz is dead..... you would never have thought that would happen... after all so many people made it safety to and fro before......but sad to say, not in their case.. they were just one of the unlucky fews who cant make it back.... North-South Highways in Malaysia is a very dangerous place no matter whether you are riding or driving... accidents happen all the time........ you cant gurantee nothing will happen.... no matter you are alone, with frenz or in a big group of khakis..... all you can do is pray or perhaps bet with the possbility that you are the 90% out of 100% to make it back safety...

Frankly speaking, from the bottom of my heart... I am soooo glad dar sold his bike........ becoz I can nv imagine both cases happening to me....
