Idle Lide: Raining days & driving

Singapore has been raining continuously for the past week. Started with light drizzle, becoming moderate and then the heavy poured for about 10-15mins. This is the pattern that the rain fell here. Its very cooling (no air conditioning for these nights) but I missed those warm nights and days.

I got a car during the short holiday break. It has been about a year since I sold my car. Driving here is still pressurizing. I don’t really enjoy that much anymore and do not know how I endured the 10 years of driving when I had the car.

The road was forever wet during my days with the car. However, the habits of a small percentage of drivers still irritates. No advance signals, no regards of speed limits, do not give way to others and no lights! I have always joked with my friends that cars in Singapore could be very much cheaper if distributors make these few features as optional – signal lights, wipers (rear), head / taillights – buy if you need them!!. Another grievances are that the NEW drivers had followed these goons. So no matter what the traffic police do, things will never change.
