O sweet of you Logan :)I will attempt to descibe my bike crash as briefly as possible.Once upon a time....hehee..The incident happened along Raffles Boulevard on the beautiful Sat morning of Feb 14.As I made a left turn into this road, I saw metal gratings on the immediate turn. Two of these are placed approx 3-4meters apart I gazed to the left, to be sure I was not too close to the two gratings. As soon as I passed these gratings safely, I turned my head to the front, by which time my front wheel was already rolling into the next metal grating which is approx 3-4metres from the second grating of the first two.I was unable to avoid the third metal grating as the front wheel of my bike was already gently rolling into the biggest (and uncovered) gap of this grating (pic attached). At a speed of 10kph, I literally dived and crash-landed onto the tarmac. My right eye was protected by my trusted shades. My right upper lip was sliced up to the area just below my nose, with a minor cut on lower lip. My fractured teeth and badly bashed gums sound something like this - one upper tooth broken, two lower teeth chipped, and three other front teeth re-arranged. Not a very pretty sight.I will not go into the details. I am smiling everyday, trying to get brave and face the blank page of my book, and am on the road to recovery.I am very touched by all the kind notes...many thanks to ALL who have written and txtd me your well wishes. MUACKS! LOVE YOU ALL, There are sooOOO many of you... you know who you are =)Now I know what this song means..."All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...my two front teeth...O! my two front teeth!" ;-)I hope to resume cycling in June or July. Got bicycle for me or not? heheee... or just...my two front teeth?ciao,nur-----------
