Welcome (back) to SINGAPORE!
That's what I told myself (loudly),
when I passed the woodlands custom on monday!
I am THRILLED to be back!
Haven't you experienced once, that in a foreign country,
there are so many different things that you are unfamiliar with?
And not just unfamiliar, its uncomfortable knowing too.
My example will be the place I went last SAT-MON.
I shall not say the place(country),
just in case I got sued for slander! (BLAW, makes me think!)
HAHAH, for people who knows about what I'm talking about,
GOOD FOR YOU! You will understand better, I think.
For those who are ignorant of what I'm talking about, ask others! LOL.
1: Traffic
I call it the real-life DAYTONA!
FYI, it is the arcade game that one drives a virtual car to overtake others.
Yeah, it is that 'competitive', I would say.
I don't know why is everyone in a rush there,
but I do know that they run at at least a 100km/h.
A signal to the left automatically allows the driver to change lanes instanly.
And dangerous driving also seen.
A bus, with height close to a double-decker bus in SG,
runs at around 150km/h, overtaking other vehicles like an arrow.
I dare to say, Singapore's traffic system is so so so much better.
I am glad I'm in Singapore!
2: Exemption Clause
From BLAW, I learn that exemption clauses must not be too unreasonable,
and they must be clear, in their choice of words.
In that country, they have clear but unreasonable clauses, in contrast with SG's.
"The casino shall not be liable for patrons' injury or death, caused by the casino,
or other factors, including Tort (negligence)."
That is not exactly word for word, but somewhat there.
I still can't believe that even a casino, will include negligence and death in the clause.
That makes me worry about the amusement park. LOL.
Luckily, I went to the PARK before I saw that.
And I cannot be sure if the government there allows these kind of clauses.
I did not study LAW of (that country).
3: The land size!
I think I'm too used to being in SINGAPORE.
Where travelling from one end to another is rapid, and short.
While at that place, the highways are longgggg, and roads, plentiful.
The vehicle I'm in was running at 110km/h,
but yet, I felt that it was moving at 60km/h in SINGAPORE. HAHAH.
Ok, I'm done le! HAHA.
No more complaints le, I think!
I shall end it with a poem! YAY!
I thought - DEXTER!
I wanted to say many things,
I doubt I want to know,
For I never really wondered,
If I should give in.
And No, I won't,
For I am firm with my words,
And for thoughts that were mistaken,
I have to bear some responsibility.
Speaking of which,
I have never see them from you,
And again, I thought I knew you,
For I trusted you then.
I thought, you would say something,
But no, you didn't even show,
I wanted to hear from you,
But you let others tell it for you.
I thought I was OK,
But recently I'm not,
I could slap you,
For I thought you have no HEART.
