[Rant] A SNAFU kind of day [Rant] + Tag by Yat

The next time my gut feeling tell me that the day is gonna be pretty fucked up, I'm gonna listen to it, get an MC and stay home.
*Sigh*
I really feel that some Singaporean Drivers aught to be shot in the knee caps just to prevent them from driving. It was a rainy morning today and as usual traffic at the AYE was crawling. As usual and being unavoidable I was riding between lane when the driver on the left lane switch lane to the right with minimal warning. Now why did I say minimal warning? It's because he signal his intention but he did it while changing lane which is truly fucked up. I never recall any of my instructors saying change lane and signal at the same time... It's always Signal, Check mirror, check blind spot and then change lane if safe. To the numbnuts drivers out there, see the word that I have bold, SIGNAL so that other road user can react to your fucking actions.

Thanks to this fuck up driver, I've skidded and lost control of my bike when my rear wheel fishtailed to the right. Knowing that I could not regain control, I let go and jump forward hoping that If the car at the back could not stop it will hit my bike first before hitting me. Got the air blown out of my lung upon impact with the road surface and was pretty disorientated, took me a few minutes to regain my bearing. I do know that my left side of the body took most of the impact, now my left thigh and arm is damn sore.

The fucked up driver did not even stop to render assistance. The bloody bastard just drive away. By the time I manage to stand up, the fella was already down the road that I could not even see his number plate and the rain did not help any. The best thing is that only ONE Malaysian rider stop and ask if I'm alright. A heartfelt thanks to that kind rider.

I'm not gonna say that It's all that driver's fault. By riding between lane I'm already in the wrong but those of you who drive or ride will know how bad majority of the drivers in Singapore is. Lane change without due care, road hogging, etc, etc. If I were to follow behind another care in this situation if the car in front were to jam brake, I'll be kissing his bonnet. By stay between lane I can have enough time to react if only the bloody driver "Signal, Check mirror, check blind spot and then change lane if safe".

My bike ain't too badly damage, still able to run but still heart pain to see her damaged like this.

These are the damage to my bike, not to mention I have to have the mechanic check if the wheel are still in alignment.
A really fucked up day.

On a totally opposite note, I did a little tag given by Yat and here is the result.
I Am A: Neutral Good Human Ranger (3rd Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-14

Dexterity-11

Constitution-14

Intelligence-12

Wisdom-12

Charisma-10


Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Now this is a little surprising considering that I have always prefer fighter but I do love dual wielding so maybe this is why I get Ranger due to their innate ability to dual wield while wearing light armor.
