i was driving to the airport on monday at about one in the morning....

i was making my way to the CTE when i suddenly realised that the road was unusually quite.... deathly quite..... which is not the case, usually cars, lorries and taxis will be speeding left right and centre..... and its irritating...

i thought it was strange.

then a thought came into my mind. is my time here up? as in death is near for me. i am not too sure, but i always thought that just before death, you get the eerie silence around you.... then the angel of death will fall upon you and take you away....

the scene of your life will flash pass you one by one.... all the rights that you have done and all the wrongs... images of your love ones comes flashing....and people you hate..and then you think you should have forgiven them all, but at this point, it may be too late as death is coming....

then you begin to regret thing that you did not do all these while and hoped that you have done it sooner...or say it sooner.....

you are expecting to see a flash of white light and the angel of death anytime soon.... and you just drive on....and on.... and wait for that moment in anticipation.....

my goose bumps were all up at that thought. i began to drive carefully and did not even speed pass 80km/hr.... and waited for my time

in my mind, i was telling my wife who is will be waiting for me at the airport that i may not make it, and the day i left her at the airport was to be our last time together.... whatever it is, i have always love her and miss her..... and silently telling her good bye ...and see her in another time...another place...perhaps in heaven if i am good..... and God bless her for the rest of her life... minus me... i just hope she will be alright and not wait too long at the airport for me.

the silence was deafening as i went from the CTE to the PIE... scary to an extend. but i drove on... just hoping to arrie safe at the airport....

then out of nowhere, a car zoomed pass me at i think 120km/hr... cancelling the silence that was so loud in my mind.... and i was awaken by the sound.....

then my phone rang.... on the other side... "i am at the gate..where are you..."... it was the wife.
"i am near the airport..you can come out now...see you in a while..."

i hung up, not knowing if i will really be there in a while...

as i drove to the pick up point, i saw her standing there, waiting for me, smiling and waiting eargerly....

my time never came.....

it was a relief for me..... so i guess silence before death may not be true.... it was just my mind playing through it...i hope....

another useless thought
