Things have changed ……for the better (of course*)

Juz cleared my “safe” zone and now into the “enjoyment” period. Although i am beginning to see something appearing, I am happy!!! For those who are not aware, I am not telling. Hubby said better not say…Sorrie!



Like this picture very much! Yingwei took me to Botantic Garden to eat Spicy Crabs and we went for a walk after the delicious meal on a Sunday evening.



Like to share wif you an experience on the road today. Yingwei is not in town, flew to Africa last nite. So today, I drove to work myself. Usually, when he is around, he will drive mi to work and have breakfast wif mi. Anyway, that’s beside the point. As usual, I take the route via Anak Bukit, Ngee Ann poly and Clementi before reaching NUS. There is usually a jam building up around the UniSim area. There are usually many cars waiting to do a U-Turn to get onto the road to UniSim. Usually I would take the extreme right lane, despite the jam (Coz I lazy to filter) So today, I decided to keep to the centre lane. There was this Volvo in front of mi, driving superb-slow and keeping a big gap between his car and the car in front. I guess that he is trying to filter to the left lane coz the centre lane is not moving as fast as the left lane. (which is not usual, left lane is supposed to be the slowest) Anyway, I oso “crawled” behind his car. Suddenly, he juz filtered over to the left, “forcing” the car on the left lane to slow down so as not to bump onto his car. This is a common sight as we usually see a lot of such drivers on the roads. Guess what, as I was “cursing this Volvo driver” in my heart for being inconsiderate, a traffic police (aka TP) appeared on my right. He filtered swiftly to my left and signaled to the Volvo to stop his car ahead. True enough, they both stopped at a slip road at the side, without obstructing the traffic. I did not see what happen next coz I am driving and cannot stop!!! So the moral of the story is “Drive safely, Put on your signals and Give ample notice before filtering, Filter only when there is sufficient car-space”. Actually I have seen worse drivers. Especially on the expressway, there were a few incidents that accidents happened because of tail-gating as well as travelling at very fast speed despite the rain. There should be at least half a car-space between your car and the vehicle in front of you for safely.



Perhaps, in this way, there will be less accidents and driving will be a pleasant experience to all drivers. I am not saying that I am a good driver. But at least, I think I am a Safe Driver, giving ample notice and space while filtering. Of course, I dun hog the road as well. If I find that I am driving too slowly on the right lane, I will filter to the centre lane to ease traffic.

Enough of driving car & traffic stuff……
There are some tasks that I must do over the weekend:

• Tidy my clothes – Put away those that I cannot wear to make space for new clothes


• Buy more clothes


• Meet friends to buy farewell gifts for two close colleagues who are leaving, although I have left the school on March this year


• My ex-colleagues are coming to my place for a Gals’ Chat @ my place tonite


• Meet close university galfriends for some catching up


• Visit my parents and fix a date for the Annual family gathering @ Sentosa

I foresee that I will have a busy weekend ahead. This is great as my hubby is only coming back on Tuesday. So I dun worry that I will be bored at home, doing nothing and sleep a lot...........
