Thank God.

It was a close shave. If it was 1 second later, both of us would probably have landed in the hospital by now. I think it was my bad as i was making fun and teasing matt, causing him to be distracted. As such, he didn't realise that the car in front suddenly braked while cruising on the expressway (ok la, i think the car in front probably braked late too), so matt jammed the brakes but because he knew the stopping distance wasn't enough, he swerved to the left. But it was very scary, because there was a BIG lorry just beside him when he swerved. Thankfully the lorry wasn't moving at high speed. And with skill, matt just managed to swerve between the car in front of the original lane and the big lorry on the left lane. I think the 2 vehicles were very angry, but we were both very thankful. Thankful that God protected us, and thankful that matt's reaction was quick enough. The amazing thing was...matt was still holding onto my hand very tightly while he swerved. On a light note, i was very impressed though very stunned. It took me the entire ride home to recover from the shock. Truly, i felt very bad for distracting him too :(. And i'm now feeling very jittery and paranoid with driving...it's just, way too dangerous in my opinion.

Btw, it was my first time doing star-gazing today! i had this wonderful opportunity cos we took the Einstein GEM module which had weekly star-gazing. It was quite cool, cos i could see Jupiter and the bands on the planet so clearly, the orion band of stars, a cluster of stars which showed some green aura due to some pandora effect or smth, and the moon magnified. It's funny to see all the craters so clearly on the moon. Feels so ... imaginary. The whole star-gazing thing makes me feel very small and realise how big God is. To think we, humans, could be so prideful even though we're just such a small fry in this amazingly huge universe.
