Almost involved with an accident!!

phew that was close!!

it happened last night when i was on my way back home. At this junction to my house, i was about to make a right turn into the junction, i gave signal and as i was taking my turn suddenly a kid on bicycle emerges from the cover and i have to stop in the middle of the road to let him pass (or else i might "bulldozed" him), as i hit the brake an ice lorry coming straight at me with a very high speed and was about to hit me.. so i put on gear and push the pedal to the metal making a high screetching sound at the tire and hear my engine roar. and at the same time the lorry also hitting his brake with also the screething sound and left a 2 meters skid mark of burning rubber on the road.

He manage to stop and i manage to avoid hitting the kid and accident adverted.

But didnt end there, the lorry driver followed me and prompted me to stop, lucky for me i stopped in my neighbourhood so all the neighbour come and gather around to see whats happening.

So he stayed in his lorry and cursing away, i feel that if not because of the neighbours around, he might wallop me or something since i'm alone and he's with a friend in the lorry.

SO to settle the problem, i just apologize to him and thank god nothing crazy happened. and also thanks to the neighbour for being there.

case closed.

My Workbench for model making

ok..
after being prompted by my fellow friend to show my Workbench in my room, here is it..
this is a dedicated room acquired by myself adjacent to the kitchen in the house. A small room that is also my PC Room and my reading room (small library).


First up is the photo of the PC(s) and also my entertaiment station when i'm working on my model. and this "L" shape table is custom made from leftover plank & wood from previous carpentry work outside the house. The compressor is located under the table

Next is the view where all the airbrushing are being done.. next to the window with the airbrush booth.

Next the book cabinet and also the stash on top
that should be it for now.. :D
