I went to KL on Fri, 17th June. We left Tuas checkpoint at ard 3 pm. My dad let me drive from the Tuas checkpoint onwards to the North South trunk road. Dun ask me what N-S trunk road is. Cuz i have no idea. My sense of direction in M'sia is terrible. Anyway, it was okay except my stopping at the Plaza Tol was quite bad. Dad was kancheong. I had my leg on the brake but he put handbrake and change the gear to Nutreal. The car was also way far from the person handing me my ticket. Bleh, it was basically terrible. It was basically straight driving until we reached the trunk road where all those big lorries, more vehicles drove past us, fast. Dad took over saying my judgement of overtaking is not there yet. And M'sian drivers are terrible. This is of cuz quoted also by the Dr Mahathir himself. "M'sians are very nice, caring people. But put a steering wheel in front of him and he becomes a different person".
Hmmm....I also observed that Singaporean drivers are the ones using the direction indicators. What does it say about us? Law-abiding, practical people. Practical cuz we know tt in Singapore it's no use beating the traffic lights. It will mean more money being forked out. So it's not worth it.
All in all, the trip was a relaxing social visit. Caught up with my relatives there. For the first time we were not on the ball. Everything was spontaneously done. For once it felt like a holiday where we didnt have to rush here and there and tire ourselves silly. Next on my destination list, Bali or Bangkok. I need a change of scenery. Better start saving up now!
Of cuz the thing that I wonder is why are M'sians different people on the roads?Leave your comments people.
