"procrastination is the thief of time" and i chose to let my time get stolen.

i am supposed to come up with a report of about 2 pages long, and i currently have 3/4 page with about 500 words. god dammit. imagine a timeline with regards to the evolution of aircraft guns. it started with before world war 1, world war 1, interwar period, world war 2, post world war 2, future prospects. yea that's quite alot to cover.. and where am i now? fucking stuck at world war 1. it's getting a little frustrating cuz i dont wanna do this.

deviating from "studies", i caught up with augustin yesterday! haha, HAPPY! he was quite fit and muscular during the bmt days but he seems to have shrank a bit in size.. just met for coffee at starbucks before we parted, and i went over to wheelock to wait for yx and john..

as i was waiting, i witnessed a 2a suzuki bike getting banged by a cab. it wasn't really a bang, more of a touch.. both were at the junction making a right turn and the bike was on the left of the cab.. the bike turned and the taxi decided to turn late.. it was at a relatively low turning speed, but a slight touch was enough to displace the bike off it's balance.. the bike dropped with the rider still on it. many people at the junction just stopped and looked, and 2 guys briskly walked over.. when i saw that i quickly rushed over as well.. 1 of them helped to pick the bike up and pushed it to the side so traffic could resume while the other guy and me helped the man to the side..

i guess the sheer weight of the bike was too much for the rider.. the ankle was bent inwards and there was blood coming out from his jeans.. the other guy helped to call for an ambulance and i left the scene, shocked by what i just saw.

to all the riders out there, please be careful. to all the drivers out there, please be careful too and look out for those bikes! i understand that they seem irritating at times, but no matter what, always remember that u're covered and they're not, so at no time should u be involved in a road rage with a bike..
