Let’s see….

Petrol prices
Wah, petrol prices are going up by another 5 cents again. Darn, life is hard. Any increase in salary is shaved off very quickly or worse still, you end up poorer than before.

My mum was telling me, 7 years ago, in 2000, diesel (ha, I don’t know how to spell diesel, I actually had to look up the dictionary, thought there is an ‘a’ in the word) anyway, diesel prices were only 55 cents…. In a span of 7 years, it’s now like $1.50 or something like that, 200% increase!!! Our salary only increase by 7 or 8%...

Sometimes, pity those who drive for a living, like taxi drivers, drivers in transportation… cost darn a lot on transport. Again all earnings are shaved off.

Do you notice that some cars, if not most, especially taxi drivers are driving slower than usual. Now everybody, oops, I mean some drive at optimal driving speed. Sometimes, there are no cars in the 1st lane. Hmmm, traffic police got no business. Well, come to think of it, there was a reason why our speed limit is 90km/h. I also noticed some WRX, Impreza driving slowly. Well of course, there are still a few cars who are driving recklessly.

Obeying traffic rules
Well, there must be a reason for traffic rules, and logically, everybody should follow. If only those who are in the right of way teach those who are not obeying traffic rules a lesson. You cannot give way to them, thinking that one matter less is better. This will boost their f88k888 ego especially P plate driver and then they think that they can get away with it. Anyway, some things I learn:
1) Nothing is fair in this world. You obey the traffic rules, you are a stupid fool. Serves you right for not cutting in front.
This morning’s experience just prove this. So many cars who were in the left turn only lane turn right. And those cars who are in the right turn lane actually gave way to them, no wonder those who were behind, find the line moving so slowly. Hmm, I shall go find LTA website and tip the traffic police on this. Yes, I shall do this after I blog.

Men in Singapore
Sometimes it’s pathetic, some men in Singapore are not gentlemen. This goes back to my point above too, people are selfish, they only think about themselves. Ok, let’s just focus on un-gentleman. Again, I repeat, not all men are like that.

Some Singaporean men should learn from the foreigners, although they do not know you, they will hold the door for you, they will let the ladies exit the lift, etc first. Ok, let me dissect (in my own opinions) why some Singaporean men are un-gentleman. They probably have a good career, they are working very hard to keep their position, so sometimes when they are outside, they are preoccupied with thinking about how to maintain their position or arrow another colleague, hence they are unaware of their surroundings.

Number 2, they are probably thinking of that night club hostess or the china lady who was with them the previous night. Or they could even be thinking how to bed some particular women. Or they could be comparing the young, sexy lady who was with them last night and comparing them to their wives…. So that’s why they are unaware of their surroundings.

Number 3, they are plain selfish, only think about themselves, their world is nothing but I, me and my so it’s natural that people should give way to them including ladies.
