It all started well.
i got down from the house, waited.
Then 2 of my friends came with a car.
i entered and we talked.
It was fun and exciting because it was the first time for the driver to drive with friends as his passenger.
We took the road deeper into Desa Pandan.
i noticed the windsreen was not very clear because we had the air-cond turned off, and the windows shut.
So there was quite a foggy windsreen and we couldn't see the road clearly.
i asked the other friend who was in the front seat to clear it out.
But the fog wouldn't go away...
At that time, i saw a parked, big tractor ahead of us.
We were going fast.
Fast enough to hit the tractor and get us all killed.
i shouted.
The driver moved the car a bit to the right.
And...
We hit the right rear tyre of the tractor.
The car was damaged on the front, left side.
Luckily we were not hurt.
Luckily the car was lightly damaged.
God showed to us tonight.
That His power is boundless.
That we could've been dead in a blink of an eye.
That He saved us in a blink of an eye.
Though it all happened so fast,
i was able to see, to feel each and every tick of the clock.
i was able to see how we could have been dead.
Instead, we are alive.
We were given the chance to repair oursleves.
We were given the chance to seek knowledge.
We were given the chance to seek the truth.
Me and my friends got back home, we turned on our PCs.
We chit and we chat.
i wished someone a belated birthday,
i watched some videos on youtube.
i blogged this experience of mine.
Tonight, i learned to be careful, to be concentrated, to keep God in our Hearts all the time.
Tonight, i witnessed God's power.
Subhanallah,
Alhamdulillah,
Laa ilaha Illallah,
Allahu Akbar...

oohh..
I am happy that you are okay.
And I am glad that your friends are okay.
Unfortunately, the car suffered some damages.
Which is okay too. New drivers (assuming that your friend just got his licence) will have to go through that, sometimes.
But what happened to the damn air-cond? Why wasn't it turned on?
And why need to drive fast? And in that condition?
I must question your friend's prudence and judgement at the time.
And yours too! Notwithstanding the fact that you're used to fast driving styles from us, you can't condone your friends to do the same.
Maybe you think it's okay because it's fun? Or because your friend is a 'first timer', just let him be?
At night, with foggy windscreen? In my book, driving with limited vision is never a good thing.
Had it been a direct hit, had it not been the shout. And the quick swerve?
You all may be injured. Or worse.
I think I still want to see you the next time I see you. It's what I do. For many years now. I'd hate to talk to a stone with your name on it. Plus, I had to buy flowers! It's not cool!
Please be mindful. Anyone can drive fast. It is easy. It is fun. But it comes with dire consequences. And not everyone can do it without hitting something hard while bending some sheet metal. And smelling one's own blood while hanging on to dear life, what's left of it!
A car can be just as dangerous as a gun, a knife or rat poison. It can be a useful transport AND a killing machine at the same time.
Consider that the next time you hop into someone's car. Or when you drive. You need to be responsible.
