::Don't drink and drive when you can smoke and fly.

those who want to drink, don't drive.
those who want to drive, don't drink.
those who don't ever drink, by all means drive.
those who are drunk have no business driving.
(Especially drunk taxi drivers 0_o)
anyway singapore is a convenient place.
got mrt, bus, taxi, can hitch a ride from friends sometimes...
(
even though the only direct bus route goes in one big loop
or else have to change multiple buses,
sometimes got no seat must stand carrying three thick books,
sometimes got molester,
sometimes got stinky people,
sometimes got noisy people,
quite often bus break down because poorly maintained despite increasing fare hikes
(one time nearly caught fire, smoking already)
and never can get a taxi / bus / mrt when you need it
then they all come when you don't.
)
sometimes driving is also quite troublesome too...
must worry about parking lots, time, etc.
(
for bus also have to worry about time,
how often have you thought, "If this bus doesn't come in the next x minutes then I'm screwed?"
Because bus fail to arrive on time and then tada! two come together?
Anyhow run across the road through traffic so that don't need to wait for the next bus
because this particular bus no. (from experience) only comes every 15 minutes?
And cannot afford another 15 minutes otherwise you'll be late?
Not forgetting the loopy route.
I take like 1 hr to get to school.
Then, my friend was saying that the trip didn't need one hour.
One day, I took taxi.
I was surprised at how much less time it took.
(Cause direct route, don't need to stop at all the stops, wait for old lady to ask , or else like 30 students to get off)
But try taking taxi everyday.
Even better, try getting taxi to wait for you downstairs everyday.
(It's possible la, but only if u got alot of $$$)
Take bus must take this, that into consideration.
Wake up earlier, because must take loopy route, bus coming late, etc. into consideration.
And what's more, you cannot control these factors.
)
and when one is tired, still have to worry about driving and the car.
(
Yes I agree,
it's dangerous to drive when tired.
(Imagine what you will do to the poor motorcyclists and cyclists!)
Then, it's your own responsibility
Get enough sleep at night, don't every day watch soccer
If really need to watch soccer then take bus the next day.
Needs some discipline.
And before I end,
How to go makan at places where buses don't go?
Or go home when you're at some ulu place in the middle of the night with no taxi in sight?
How to bring your pet to the vet?
When some taxis don't accept animals?
When some buses don't accept animals?
And your pet is throwing up non-stop and bleeding like crazy?
How to bring a bicycle around?
Maybe you ride there?
If it's at the other end of Singapore, then you ride there also?
Before going to your mass cycling event to ... cycle some more? ><
Sorry, I am not Lance Armstrong.
(That's why I always end up cursing lousy rental bicycle.)
So it's good to drive.
Have more choices what you want to do, depending on the situation.
Even better, have car and bicycle.
Can take some time off to wear funny colourful tight clothes and save the earth.
(Or if you are like me, wear t-shirt and shorts and get exercise and free ride to makan la.)
For me, I want bicycle, van and motorcycle.
Or maybe bicycle, van, car and motorcycle.
If I got enough money that is.
(Important not to get something you cannot afford to maintain.)
At this rate, I think I riding bicycle and motorcycle for the rest of my life la.
(And cheapo bicycle and motorcycle some more)
Anyway, no harm getting class 2b, 2a, 2, 3 and maybe even 4!
Even if don't actually drive, it's still a good experience.
Even though it can make you very sad, frustrated, etc. it's also very fun!
And you never know when you may need all those licenses.
