living here in this tiny state is like living in a pressure cooker....

the moment you are born, thats it!!! pressure cooked! by the time you are 24 hrs old.... you are expected to be smart! yes... if you can go to school after 24 hours... you will be in one!!!

school is another pressure cooker.... you are expected to score straight As...better if you do your PSLE at 6 years old, 'O' Levels at 8, 'A' levels at 10 and complete your PhD by the time you hit the ripe old age of 12!

then you work... you are expected to perform straight away..cos you are a dregree holder..... some multiple degrees some PhDs.....

but what i really want to say is about driving in sillypore!!

those who drives are actually driving in a pressure cooker.... and can explode anytime. Yesterday alone, on one stretch of road.... i saw 2 bad accidents... although no one was dead... it was a bad accident!

i think its high time who ever the authorities that controls traffic and roads do something about other users of the roads other that private cars owners.....

you see, we have bus lanes.... and the bus captains now thinks they are king of the road.... because they have the rights in the bus lane and there are all sorts of fine if cars drive into them at certain hours..... BUT these captains forget that there are time when cars can still use these lanes....

these captains just drive out without looking as if its their right!!! i have encounter these a few times and I have seen these captains drive out of their stops and nearly hitting on coming cars many many times!!!!! and i have seen buses travelling on NON bus lanes causing traffic to hold for them...... BUT they think they have the right.... and the authorities don't think that there is anything wrong......

that is one rule we have to obey

then there are taxis who stop where and when they want....

then we have the motor bikes... who zip in and out of traffic like there are no cars at all on the road....

then we have the pedestrians who thinks that cars have to give way to them.... they take their time to cross even when green man blinking..... or the man turns red and then the zebra crossing..... suddenly all these pedestrian become senior citizens.... and best of all are those who walk casually and talking over the mobile phones ignoring the fact that they are crossing the roads!!!

and of course we have the shummi wannabes on the roads...... the wrx.. the evos... the the fake ferraris (i saw a hunydai i30 with a ferrari logo on it) and the vans that are mod to look like speed demons!!!

and those HUGE trucks!!!! they really believe that they are KING... no one can touch them.... which is true... whoever touches them will be dead under their BIG ASS body!!!

and then we have the money gates, the hiding white ants on the overhead bridges....and what not and the speed traps, speed cameras..... the various speed limit on the same stretch of expressway..... the huge ass amount of laws we have on the road......

all the traffics rules seem to be putting more pressure on the drivers.... they have to look out and remember so many many rules!!!

NOW....

imagine you are driving on the road...... you have to observe so many things and look out for so many things

pressure cooker?

another useless thought
