tolong (meaning help in malay language) tolong.......

for god's sake..... if u dun have the confidence or even the ability to drive, pls stay off the roads..... dun be a road hogger, road hazard and clog up the roads...!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... why do i say that? well.........

almost had a heart attack on my way back home from a meeting this evening.!!!!!!!!.... ok let's not waste time, story is coming up:

meeting was held at a place near novena...... so after the meeting, i got on the CTE (central expressway) towards yishun which would lead to the PIE (pan island expressway) towards changi airport...... as u probably know, there is always a LONG queue at this exit to the PIE.......dunno why, either there are so many cars going that way..... or so many cars slowing down so much that they bunch up the road....... yes, i agree this exit can be quite challenging if u go in at speed and it is also a blind corner...... but then, if u are going at 50 or 60 km/h, there's nothing to fear.......... why do they need to slow down until a horse can outrun a car there.....???

since the exit has a long queue, i decided to bypass this one and left the CTE at braddell road ........... following that, i travelled towards bartley road and finally came onto paya lebar road towards katong.....

first encounter with the F***ER....... at paya lebar/macpherson road junction.........this fellow was in front and i was a couple of car lengths behind (a few vehicles were between us)........ we were on the outer right lane going straight and all were waiting for the red lights to turn green

ok....green lights........ cars in the left and middle lanes began moving off.........so i was thinking, how come the cars in my lane are not moving huh..??.... well, after a few seconds that seemed like eternity, all started to go......... next question in my mind, why are we crawling at a snail's pace??.... is there a traffic policeman (cos TP HQ nearby mah).......boleh....... as my view was blocked by a big lorry, i could not see what was happening in front..........middle lane was busy, so it was quite difficult to change lane........... patiently waiting for a chance so that i could switch lanes and reach home early......

once i seized that chance to switch left, i was able to see this SILVER COLOUR BMW 5 SERIES SALOON CAR CRAWLING AT 40 KM/H IN THE RIGHT LANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS GUY? WHY WAS HE DRIVING AT THAT SPEED IN THE RIGHT LANE?????????

as we moved towards the next junction, the roadworks necessitated a detour and all cars would have to negotiate a simple left curve before stopping at the traffic lights again (the NPC junction)....... so before i could reach the curve, I SAW THE SILVER COLOUR BMW 5 SERIES SALOON CAR TRYING TO COME INTO MY LANE!!! I SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY WAS HE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LANE DISCIPLINE WHEN HE WAS MOVING SO SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????? SO SLOW ALSO WANNA CUT INTO MY LANE...???????

i immediately sounded the car horn to give a series of warning and i think he's either deaf, oblivious, cant be bothered or dun wanna do anything..... before anything could happen, i accelerated past the bmw and of cos i turned my head to look........WAH LAO EH....... the driver was an uncle.......SO OLD SO FRAIL SO SHORT that i almost couldnt see him..... now i dun despise him just bcos he was old but his driving was way off........ the next best thing, right beside in the front seat was a woman in her late 30s and SHE LOOKED AT ME as if it was a sin to horn at them....... MY GOSH, i was like........hey, you guys are hogging the road as if it's your damn right to do so..... somemore i was thinking, if you are so smart, you should be one the driving.... .why let uncle take the wheel...????

after the traffic lights turned green, i saw (in my rear view mirror) this clown continuing to frustrate everyone else by moving at a tactical speed........ sigh....... never learn....

sigh sigh.......... here's a simple advise, take the cab if you cant drive .......pls dun crawl at 40 km/h on a 50 km/h road....... 50 km/h is slow enough and quite a agony........... any slower can kill.......... yes you read that right......... speeding (or the lack of it) kills.....
