Pissed... i think Singapore drivers should learn to be little more considerate in the aspect of giving way... i was like in the bus 168 towards Tampines earlier this evening, and guess what?! i was stuck in the bus for a solid 10 mins!!! Reason?! our dearest Singaporean drivers just refuse to give way to a pathetic bus who holds like 60 passenger on board! How much time difference would it make to allow a bus to cut the lane so that passengers on board the bus can alight on the next stop?!... what kind of drivers are these?! We're such a well developed city with a good government and a wonderful environment to live in, but, sadly, with such inconsiderate Singaporeans around. I'm not saying that all Singaporeans or drivers are like that, I'm just referring to those who just can't "afford" to be a little more considerate.. are we becoming too selfish or are we just can't be bothered??!
Since Play school to Primary school, then to Secondary and Tertiary level, we've always been taught to be courteous. Have we as Singaporeans forgot all that we've learnt?! Look at the mirror and ask yourself this question, how many of us bothered to say "thank you" or "please" to someone we ask for for a favour?! Even the simplest thing such as saying "thank you" to the cleaners in the hawker or "please" to the taxi drivers when we board the cab is so difficult?! Maybe we took things for granted all along or we just can't be bothered...
For someone who is in the service industry, i have to agree that smiling everyday is not easy, to make things worse, when we're having a bad day, the last thing on our mind is to even smile... Well, maybe we have to make a little more effort in doing so... just for those of you who don't know, just a simple gesture of appreciation to someone who has offered a service for you, would really make he/ she feel good. So is this little gestures that hard to do?! These are some of the questions i wanna pose to my friends who are reading the blog..
Maybe we should first start by saying "thank you" or "please" to the people who are helping us, i think that's really nice to start of with right?! not very hard, we'll try aights?!
So, i'll like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone here who has in one way or another helped me along the way and of course YOU! Yes, You.. those fruends who are reading my blog now, THANK YOU Soooooo Much:)
Signing off! Ciaos:)

Ya, I believe many of us agree that local drivers aren't that considerate to give way. Perhaps we should set an example on the road, though this challenge might be mighty tough. But as drivers, be it new or experienced, I believe a little kindness goes a long way. Cheers.
