I nearly had an accident just now... rather I nearly knocked someone. It was on the street behind Park Mall, between YMCA and the church. It was a teenage girl at the traffic light, I have just turned out from the carpark and just went over this little hump of a hill before the lights.
Not sure if she's dreaming or perhaps did not see properly, she stepped off the curb barely 5m in front of me. I can't really remember what I was thinking then, I guess reflex just took over and I had to swerved hard to the right to avoid hitting her while blasting my horn. Due to the distance there is no chance I can brake in time... luckily there was no oncoming cars in the opposite lane.
Just after I swerved I thought, did I get the lights wrong? I turned and checked the traffic light... it was GREEN. So it's her who ran the lights and not me, I did not stop but move ahead slowly while turning to look at her. She dashed across the road and gave a little apologetic wave. On hindsight perhaps I should have stopped and maybe get out of the car and give her a good talking to.... Thank god no one is hurt!

Problem really like to come at the last minute [and on a friday too]! Just when I was ready to call it a day, got an email from support regarding a problem user is facing. Bo bian, better solve it ASAP. Luckily, after rounding up some of the guys, we managed to find why this is happening and how to get around it pretty fast. Sometimes these problem can be hard to find the cause! Hopefully dun get more before CNY... let me have some peace to finish my other work...
