Of Having An Accident & Striking A Lottery

Damn! I'd an accident last Friday night, self-accident to be precise. Never had an accident in my life so far. I was reversing my Honda Civic to let my dad and his Land Cruiser out when my car's front-right fender/bumper/signal lamp hit the car porch beam. It was careless of me to look only at the back of the car as the auto-gate slowly opened and didn't notice I was turning a little bit too much to the right. I'd sent my car for repair this morning and this will put a major hole in my pocket in return. Darn it!

Ironically, my dad struck a first prize lottery the next day (last Saturday). Some more he bought two tickets and so his winning was doubled. The winning number was 9553. My dad told me it's a combination of house number (5916) and my car number (SL53A). Since I bumped into the car porch beam while reversing the car, the number 59 (from 5916) was 'reversed' to form 95, and 53 (from SL53A) was added to form a 4D number of 9553. There you go. Somehow God has a funny way of rewarding people. One man's misfortune is another man's fortune. My dad did give me some small cut of his winning to cover for my car repair job though. The next time I had an accident, I'm gonna buy tens of lottery :)
