Do it before you regret

I went to visit my double bass teacher Ms. Yeo with fellow bassists, and ended up helping out to clean her new house. Though we only managed to wipe two cupboards, it was fun. (:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was walking home when I heard a loud crash. I turned around and was rooted to the ground with shock for a moment. A Malay boy just got knocked down by a car. The car was driving when he suddenly rushed out. This sounds like a primary 6 composition, but the blind truth just hit right on my face. I felt helpless, and the boy's friend were too. I could not do a thing at this moment? When someone is splashed with blood all over his face? Wth am I doing stoning there? Then the taxi driver came out and started scolding the poor boy who was drenched in blood while calling for ambulance. It was horrible. Really horrible. It could be the boy's fault for crossing the road blindly, but scolding him in that situation does not help, does it?

I asked the boy's friend to get the boy's parents down, and by now there was a small crowd around the area. The boy's parents came rushing down, and together with the taxi driver, they were trying desperately to stop the boy's blood.

Seeing such a crowd there, I left the scene. What could I do? I thought to myself. I do not have any first aid skill, and I was lost with the situation. The only thing i did was to get the boy's friend to call the boy's parents down.

I was thinking, thinking about many many things on my way home. Cross the road with care everyone, look right, left then right again. Treasure your life, it belongs to you and it relies on your care and concern for yourself.

The accident lead me thinking, there are lots of things that one should do before he/she regrets. Sometimes, it is this hesitation that makes you regret, maybe for the rest of your life. You might be able to resolve a conflict by saying a few words, but you refuse. You might be able to save someone from trouble by saying a few words, too, but you refuse. You might be able to accomplish something that you wish you did, but you did not.

God, please bless the boy with luck, for him to survive this accident, and recover to full health soon.
