i witnessed an accident

it keeps raining... i was happily waiting for the time to go crash the management wif humour lec, all along thinking tat its 5.30pm at LT6, but later at 4pm while trying all my means to wake yuxin up for her 430 lec, den i realised my humour lec is 430 instead of 530. i started stoning for at least a full 10mins b4 deciding to go.
so yuxin & i set off at 440, and suddenly she exclaimed, "Oh Shit! i forgot to bring my file!!!"
"....u muz learn your lesson ah...." i nagged, thinking tat from 330 i started waking her up but she juz refused to, haiz, everything so last minute not gd lor... but i oso not angry wif her lah...
and so i waited for her to rush back get her file... in e meantime calling mom to tell her not gg home tonite...
we walked e covered-walkway along the small upslope beside hall12, den at the crossroad, i saw a man cycling, i looked on e ground and the spilt sec later, i heard a bang! he had knocked onto the side of an oncoming car... my gosh! he's powdered wif cement! oh my God! i was stunned and yuxin n i stopped walking n i tried to shelter him wif my umbrella. the driver of the car was kind to brake and come down to help the guy. den i realised tat the cyclist is a onstruction worker... his bicycle wheel was deformed... a packet of the cemen he put on his bicycle was spilled all over him... it was wet everywhere and thank God there wasn't blood... yuxin n i stood there trying to shelter him for a moment, den we realised tat we're doing nothing, so we left the scene...
i think i felt kinda shaken by wad i saw... i din really see the crash and where they hit, but i think the cyclist muz haf knocked the body of the car... thank God it wasn't the other way around, or else it wld be disastrous... it was scary... i always thot tat road is very ulu and seldom haf cars, but tis incident really alerted me to be extremely careful as long as u're walking on the road... i was questioning myself like life is juz so fragile, in any chance the person knocked might be me if the car was turning into the hall carpark at tat moment... i remb juz a few mins ago i was toking to my mom, it could haf been my last tok wif her if i was knocked... and b4 tat i even asked huimin abt wads life, as in scitifically define life as one of e tut qns instead of the psychological aspect, but now as i think back, i really qns why God allowed me to see tat incident... i believe its really to alert me of the dangers of the road...
and so i headed to LT6 for the lec, but was very disappointed when the whole lec room was packed and there's still pple taking a peep from the door... can see tat it was a really humourour lecturer... i took a look and left disappointedly...
i had the aftermath of the accident, and i wasn't thinking very right... i walked back, on reaching NIE stairs den i thot how come so silly din go lib2 to see the textbooks again... but at least i was still at NIE, so i went to the bookshop determined to buy the Lodish Molecular Cell Bio book instead of the Albert one (which costs $88!!!). but after queueing for awhile, the sales person had trouble finding the book, simply becos they haven got ordered them yet... haiz... another disappointment...
as i walked back to hall, i saw the driver and 2 other construction workers standing there at the scene... i walked pass, hoping tat they won't recognise me...
den i reflected, as a Christian, how shld i haf been of help then? how wld Jesus haf reacted? i really pray tat the cyclist is alright and all of us won't suffer any trauma...
