a sigh of relief

"vroommm vrooommm" + *flash of light* = OH NO!!!

This was the experience I had a couple of weeks back when I was traveling on the KPE. That flash of light caused such a huge distraught to me that I can't stop thinking about the consequences that will come with it. I just got my 2A license. Which means I cannot have more than 12 points on my record. I already have 6 points from last year and with this possible new 6 points, I am going to have to park my bike beneath my block for the next 1 year to avoid getting my 2A license revoked! And of cos the possibility to pay $150 would mean a hole in my pocket.

Being so distraught, I begin to search the web to see if people had similar experiences and find out what did they do about it, what's the possibility of not getting caught, the possibility of writing an appeal etc. And my fave website that whole week was www.psi.gov.sg where I can check online if I received any summons. A week went by and I got nothing! Both from the web or from my mailbox! I was slowly beginning to think that maybe I wasn't the one that got "flashed" at, or the police are being nice during National Day period to "close one eye" to this. Until 11th August when I went back, I SAW THE LETTER~! Heart sank. Morale dropped. Mind started to churn out a few action plans that will need to be taken.

As I fearfully tear open the letter... Yippee!! I did not get a summon! I simply received a warning to not repeat the offense! So no demerit points and no hole in my pocket! I was so glad and relief that I need not carry the burden of worrying and speculating and worrying over this whole matter anymore!

The whole experience taught me a few things:
1) Do not speed!
2) That time can sometimes numb us and cause us to not be urgent over the sins we committed, just like how I begin to feel less uptight over it as time goes by.
3) That just as I was thankful to God for letting me off this time round, I need to be thankful to God for freeing me from the bondage of sin and it's consequences daily.
