Dear Diary #120 | January 10th, 2024

I just remembered that this happened to me last week...

... Since it raining as well yesterday, I recalled that I did the same thing last week which was going to the weekly 'pasar malam' in the rain on my motorbike.

I was really quite careful on the way there but it wasn't as heavy as it was last week, and it was because I almost fall off my bike on the way there.

I learned my lesson. That lesson was always be careful on the road, especially when the rain is falling, falling down hard.

I didn't want to get over the speed bump and trying to get around it from the side. There was a puddle there, but I thought I could do it without much fuss.

Suffice it to say, I didn't do it... I almost did fall on my side, caught myself with my left leg.

Thankfully the big van behind was further enough that they stopped just before me.

I apologized profusely and went to the side a little, checking if I injured myself in this foolish attempt.

I didn't, but I saw my sandal on my left leg had travelled all the way up the calf!

I had to take some time to lodge it off from that position, and thanking it for taking most of the momentum of that sudden stop.

Well, that's all folks! Thank you for your time and please do come back for my future posts! :-)
