this may not so relevent in today's context... traveling by car may not bring to destination earlier than MRT with the congested road...

Haha cuz u r my fren.

Chatting with my frens here in AF is not a waste of time.

Shitting is oso taken for granted...for the living that is.

Have u seen a man who cannot shit prob due to some health issue?? Many health problem. I have a colleague who juz had his intestine cut away about few cm....now he tells me he's got the urge to shit everything he had eaten a meal. Not something many of us want to live with.

Depends on timing and which one u travel.

PIE and AYE is quite bad...almost all the time. I tried to avoid them if possible. Many LTA as well.

ECP is still alrite.

Last time I used to travel on the KPE...oso ok.

Travelled from Marine Parade to harbourfront in about 20 mins 7am+, off peak If i drive a little fast..about 10 mins.

If I take buses or MRT...much more time required.

brainwashed lemmings.

What we need is a sub catagory for below 1.0 L cars. I doubt the 'rich' people will want to drive kei cars.

Doc,

I blame the lemmings in white (not ur white coat )

Take a look at Sweden system...we could have move towards that direction. Or even learn a thing or two from them.

Our schools could have introduced topics such as Confucius's morality, correctness of social relationships and ideas from young.

Instead its all academic. PSLE, O lvls, getting into poly and U.
