♥ hot title:A Personal Recount of Mr Nicholas Fanyeong
I was on my way home after my night shift as a security guard was over. I was eager to get home, have a shower and a nice nap. Suddenly, when i drove into Yishun Avenue 1, I saw some cars parked illegally at the side of the road, with many people crowding around something on the pavement. Being a curious person, I myself also also parked at the side of the road and went up to see what the commotion was all about.
To my horror, I saw a Mazda RX-8 which was damaged beyond recognition, lying on the pavement. I was told that four young men travelling towards Seletar Club Road at about 1pm in their Mazda when suddenly, the car flipped over a guardrail. Fortunately, the four men only suffered minor injuries. They were later sent to Changi General Hospital for treatment. I quickly snapped a picture of the damaged car.
I feel that we ought to observe safty rules on driving , such as no drunk driving or speeding,especially young people below the the age of thirty.

I was driving my way home after a long day at work at around 1pm,passing Yishun Avenue 1.Just when my thoughts were roaming around,something caught my attention.There was a crowd surrounding the pavement,and i was shocked by what i saw.A Mazda flipped over a guardrail and onto the pavement.The men-who are in their early 20s escaped from the wrecked Mazda RX-8 with cuts and minor injuries on their faces.The car was a mangled wreck.There were still some blood stains on the road.That is all i could see from the back of the crowd.I immediately fish out my mobile to take a picture of the badly crashed car and sent it to The Straits Time portal stomp.I was happy that my picture and my name was printed on the cover page of The Straits Time the next day as this could serve as a reminder to youngsters.Nowadays there are more and more young drivers getting into non-fatal accidents.I hoped that young drivers should drive safely on the road to prevent accidents to happen and might lose their lives.I never hope to write such a tragic report again.

♥ hot title:A Personal Recount of Mr Nicholas Fanyeong by Sarah Chu (:
I was just walking back home from work, when I saw the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my entire life: a totally crushed, badly damaged Mazda RX-8. An extremely serious accident took place this afternoon just after I finished work. I heard from other people who witnessed the accident that the young male victims practically flew off the road in a spectacular crash. That car was a beauty. It was new, too. But it was so horrifically damaged after the accident, it never crossed my mind that the car was new. The Straits Times interviewed the young victims, (now healing their injuries in Changi General Hospital) who were in the car during the accident, and found out that the car was actually new. They were glad enough to give me details of the car, as I gave them the information they needed to write a news report on it. Thank God nobody died. I managed to swipe a picture of the mangled car, and they asked for that picture too. Why in the world do reporters have to poke their noses into everything? I just cannot stand reporters. Anyway, I feel that people should not go around speeding. It seems to me as if they do not care, not even a tiny little bit, about their lives. I really hope more people will wake up, and not speed. I think they do it for fun. But is fun more important than your life? I do not think so.Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

I was listening to the soft and melodious music playing on the radio broadcast. It was a hard day at work and I drove home merrily as I thought of the warmth and peace at home. I was travelling along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club Road when I witnessed a car accident.
Apparently, the blue Mazda RX-8 skidded off the road, flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill. I was appalled and stunned as the car was an awful wreck. Also, the impact of the crash might have caused severe injuries or worse still, even death. Judging from its shiny appearance, I concluded that the car was quite new. Without hesitation, I pulled out my mobile phone to call the ambulance. Following that, I took some photos of the mangled Mazda and I sent them to The Straits Times to let people know of the accident.
I later learnt that miraculously, the accident did not result in deaths and the young victims suffered minor injuries despite the great impact.
I think that everyone should be careful on the road, be responsible when you drive. These accidents can be prevented.

The silence of the road shocked me.A fear crept up my back,it was totally silent-too silent for a timid person like me.At yishun avenue 1,it was like there was only me and the lonely street,a never-ending street where i could hear the sounds of only me and the insects around the bushes.
This was popularly seen by me everyday,but the sense of lonely remains.Suddenly,there was one-yes,only one car moving from the other side of the junction towards me.It was the Mazda RX-8 i have been hunting for for years(my car is too old).I was immediately attracted to the car as it passed by me.It looked brand new,no scratches at all,and at the next red light, we met on the same road(it U-turned).After the traffic light, mopre cars joined this road but i took no notice of any uninteresting cars.Out of a sudden,after we drived for sometime,I had somewhat the 'worse' shock of my life.The mazda flipped over a guardrail and 'flown' up the hill.Somehow my dream car was able to 'fly' and i had to take this amazing photo-for myself and other USEFUL uses.Luckily no one was injured in this 'flying' incident which was considered'damn lucky'...
The picture was quite useful for i was famous after a night with the photo!I posted on portal stomp and they posted on the strait times.So i was a good example of being famous after a night!I might not be able to buy my dream car, but it sure helped me accomplish one of my dreams-to be famous.
It thought all drivers(including me) to value life and drive with care.Don't drink and drive.Be as safe as possible!

On Sunday, 24th of febuary, I saw a car. This car was a new but totally wrecked Mazda RX-8. Near the car there were a few injured men in their early twenties. they suffered cuts and minor injuries.I quickly called the ambulance and took a picture of the wrecked car as I wanted to let everyone see the scene of the accident. I sent it to STOMP! so that it can publish it on the newspaper.Ths accident happened in Yishun avenue 1 heading to seletar club. The police, knowing that I was the one who send the photo, went to interview me. I told them everything I knew about the accident.
The next day, I saw that the picture had appeared in the headlines. I was surprised. I was famous!! So I hoped that I could send more useful pictures to the press and most importantly, hope that less accidents will not happen!!!!!Labels: Ng Hong Yi, Personal Recount Assignment

I was driving home from my workplace after an exhausting day of work. Whistling cheerily to myself, I looked at the soothing scenery all around me. Singapore is indeed a 'Garden City'. When I was approaching Yishun Avenue 1 towards the Seletar Club Road, something caught my eye as a crowd of people was surrounding something.
Almost immediately, I pulled my car to the side and saw what happened. A Mazda RX-8 had flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill! From its smooth surface,I knew that it was pretty new before it met with this car crash. Now, I could only say that its badly smashed. The four victims are in their early twenties and had luckily survived from the car crash with only cuts and minor injuries to their faces.
I pulled out my mobile phone to take a picture of the mangled wreck and sent it to the Straits Time Online Portal(STOMP). I did not expect it to turn out in The Straits Time. My real intention was just to show all citizens that how serious a car crash could be. I want to warn everyone to please drive with care. Think about your loved ones and your precious life. I really hope that Singapore could be place of peace and silence, instead of car crashes and accidents.Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

♥ hot title:A Recount Of Nicholas Fanyeong ( Teo Wee Joon )
Dear Mrs Tan, as you all have not added Wee Joon into the blog shared account, i had to help him to post the recount on behalf of him.
The following recount is done by Teo Wee Joon of 1D(34)
On Monday, an accident happened involving a blue mazda car and there were four victims. Fortunate enough, all four victims escaped death but suffered some injuries and cuts. I had taken the photo of the blue Mazda car which was crushed beyond recognition. At my point of view, I thought that these kind of accidents can be avoided and reduce the risk of accidents per year. Because of the carelessness of these drivers, they may put their life or their passengers' life in jeopardy. Accidents can be avoided if the driver does not speed and take note of the safety precautions while driving. For drivers, they should not drive when they drink. In all , I think speeding is dangerous and by abiding the rules and safety precautions, such accidents like this accident can be avoided.
Pls take note. Thxs.Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

Yesterday did not ended as normal as I thought as something happened on my way home...I snapped a photo of a car when I was driving home.It is not a normal car,but a CRASHED CAR!!!
It was an almost all new Mazda RX-8 that crashed.Before the car crashed,four young men below 30 were on board.Lucky for them,they escaped "Death God's Reaper".Concious,the men taken to Changi General Hospital.
Then,I decided to sent this photo to the Straits Time to wait for the report and maybe some police spokesman report.Then,I read the article this morning.For god's sake the report was on headlines!I concentrated on reading reports about what police has to say.I then founded that there were so many cases about car accidents and mostly to those under 30.
What a tragic report!Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

I came across the car accident while driving on my way home. The men were travelling along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club Road around 1pm when the Mazda flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill. Luckily, nobody lost their lives, they only suffered from cuts and minor injuries to their faces and shoulders. The four men were taken to Changi General hospital after the accident.

♥ hot title:Let's Be In Nicholas Fanyeong's Views... ... =)
I lived with my old mother at Seletar area. After a late night work at the The Straits Times publication, I packed up and headed for home. I was travelling along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club Road around 1 pm when i saw the almost new Mazada flipped over a guard line and up the side of a hill. Four young men in their earliest twenties, had escaped from the wrecked Mazada RX-8 with cuts and minor injuries to their faces and shoulders. The impact triggered airbags on both the driver's and front passenger's side. The injured men were taken, conscious,to Changi General Hospital.
I believed they were lucky that they had escaped from the clutches of death. And they will treasure their lives even more after this accident which nearly cost their precious lives. As traffic police statistics had shown that 29 car drivers have lost their lives on the roads in the past two years and nine of them were under 30. More young drivers get into non-fatal accidents. In 2006, out of 1283 drivers who were injured, 250 drivers were under 30.They died at such a young age, it is such a pity. They should have drive in a more safe way and not endangering their own lives and others as well.
The picture i had send in shows how serious the accident was, and the four young men could have been in a very bad situation at that time when sometimes not even soul is around.
They had learned the lesson in the hard way, so in future we should always drive in safety at all times to prevent accidents from happening.

I was driving home with a smile on my face as i have gotten promoted to a higher rank with more pay,and took leave to go home and have a day rest.I was listening to the radio 92.4,classical music,very soothing to my ear indeed!However,when i was driving along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar ,my mood change.I became fustrated and angry,that was because there was a heavy traffic jam on the road.I went out my car and saw what happened.What i saw was a brand new Mazda had just flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill.I took out my phone immediately and took a shot of it and sent it to the Straits Time online portal, STOMP,to report about this incident. I certaintly did not expect that my report of the incident and the shot of it which i had took came out in the Straits Times the next day.I felt glad to be of help and i hope that all drivers will drive carefully and would not get into this type of unecessary "trouble".

That day i was on my way home,I witnessed this terrible car accident.The car was heavily damaged after the crash.It happened along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club road around 1 p.m.
The Mazda that the driver drove flipped over the guardrail and onto the pavement.the impact was great enough to triggered the airbags on both side of the front seat.The injured men were taken to the hospital,conscious.From the wreckage of the car,you can see how great the impact was.It is fortunate that the four men survived this horrifying accident.
From this accident I can see how reckless these drivers can be these days.It may bring harm to themselves and other road users.It is the responsibility of the drivers to drive safely on the road.So,drivers please drive safely....Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

I was driving home at 1pm for my afternoon break.As I moved near Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club Road,I was being held back as I noticed a long queue of cars in front of me.I strained my neck out to see what was going on.I was appalled whenI noticed an almost new Mazda RX-8 flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill at around .There were four men who were in their late 20s involved in the car crash.Luckily for them,they all survived the crash with cuts and minor injuries to their faces and shoulders.The car looked badly crushed and was a mangled wreck.The impact had triggered air bags on both the driver's and front passenger's side.I thought that this accident should be brought to attention as it is not the first time such cases had happen,so I took a picture of the car and decided to send it to Stomp.Finally an ambulance came and all the conscious but injured men were taken to Changi General Hospital.
Soon after, the crowd started to disperse and I quickly went home although i did not feel tired anymore as the whole incident had woken me up.

♥ hot title:sorry,mrs tan ,this is my new recount...
The day seems to pass slowly as I was impatiently inching my way home in my slow car and desperately trying to swerve my way back to home after a tedious day at work.Nothing seems to attract my attention,as everything looked ordinary like as it was ,in a typical day.My eyelid were so heavy ,I could just fall asleep...Not until I saw something huge shimmering,reflecting strong rays into my eyes.In an attempt to satisfy my curiosity, I squinted and bent my back to find out what it was.To my horror,I spotted a terribly wrecked car,which had,with it,a web of thousand cracks on the windscreen.Almost immediately after my brain grasped hold of this information,I scurried out of my car and tried to see if anyone was inside.Indeed there was inside,four young men ,who was calling for help and trying to get out.I called the ambulance and meanwhile, tried to get them out...
Time seems to be like an eternity,but not until the ambulance and police car appeared vaguely into my sight.The efficient paramedics got out and dragged a stretcher along with them,carried them up the massive vehicle and brought them to the hospital nearby,while the manly policemen queried questions and jotted my particulars down .I took out my phone and managed to capture a picture of it.Then,I've decide to share this to the other readers.To much of my anticipation,it was a cover page news!I was even more shocked when I saw my name mentioned!After all that surprise, though , I think that we should be more vigilant on the road.Labels: Personal Recount Assignment

I was driving home from my workplace. I was exhausted by the heavy work. While driving along Yishun Avenue 1 towards Seletar Club Road, I was listening to the smooth music that was playing over the radio.
As I was driving across the road, an scene caught my attention. There was many onlookers crowding around an wrecked blue Mazda AX-8. My eyes widened and jaw dropped when I saw the shattered glass and the metal that had been teared apart. The victims had a few cuts on their faces, shoulders and some minor injuries. Grabbing the opportunity, I took a picture of the car with my hand phone. I send the photo to The Strait Times portal Stomp when I reached home.
I was very happy when I knew that my name was posted on the newspaper.
I think young drivers should be careful when they are driving. Do not wait until an accident have happened and then you regret for the whole your life just because of carelessness.

 I was waiting at the Bus Stop outside Yishun Avenue 1. The bus stop was sardine packed as it was peak hour and everyone was rushing home to be with their family. I was thinking,'' When will be the bus arriving? I have been waiting here for a LONG TIME!'' Just when I was fustrated and was on the verge of hailing a taxi to go home, I heard a loud screeching sound, followed by a crashing sound.
I was not prepared to see what had happened. An brand new Mazda had just flipped over a guardrail and up the side of a hill. The windscreen of the car was badly smashed and pieces of broken glass were scattered over the road. Some motheres hurriedly covered the eyes of their children from witnessing the horrifying accident.Onlookers were crowding at the spot of the accident
Just at this moment, I thought,'' This accident must be brought to the attention of the Straits Times Interactive Portal (aka STOMP)''. Immediately, I fished out my camera enabled phone. took a photograph of the accident and sent it to STOMP. Soon, the wailing sounds of the police cars and ambulance sailed down the road. After the authorities had attended to the injured passengers and took down details of the accident, I hailed a taxi and went back home. In my opinion, Singaporean drivers should be more careful and considerate in their driving behaviour. This is why Singaporean drivers are under the list of '' Countries whom drivers are rude and inconsiderate''. To erase their names from this blacklist, they should take action. Be more considerate on the road. basic eqiuttes like signalling when overtaking, not tailgating, so on so forth. By doing so, Singapore can be a more kind and graceful society. Sean Lim
P.S Mrs Tan, hope you will enjoy this personal recount of mine!!If it is boring, please tell me.Thank You

"CRASH!" I was jabbing the buttons on my latest Nokia gizmo when i heard the ear-shattering crash. It interuppted the music played by the radio and I turned around to only witness the sight of an overturned dark blue Mazda and 4 people staggering out of the wreakage scene at Yishun Ave 1. The car was crushed beyond recognition and the wreakage was simply unbelieveable! Dazed, i grabbed my N82 and snapped the photos of the accident and sent it to the Straits Time online portal, STOMP.
As a civil citizen, i also informed the Traffic Police, Radio Stations and the Mediacorp News hotline. The survivors thanked me as i gave them precious advice of driving after reporting to the authorities. I learnt that youth drivers are simply irresponsible as they drive recklessly. I learnt a lesson and i hope the survivors did too. I refused to be interviewed by the news agencies as i only wanted to let the driver know that driving recklessly endangers lives, but not to be in the Hall Of Fame in the newspapers. The driver should have learnt the lesson the hard way.
Mrs Tan, i hope it is not too bad nor too good. See ur 2morrow! :)
Cheers,
