Things To Do While Driving

Coool…haven’t log on for quite awhile now. Noticed some upgrades done to the website!! Bravo!

Okies, ever since I shifted, as mentioned my journey to and fro my house is rather long….and with the hike in petrol price….YIPES! Since I gotta wake up earlier, I have resorted to doing a lot of things in the car. Errr….not like Mr. Bean tho’ to the extent of brushing teeth and changing clothes in the car…that will cause accidents on the road!! No, but somehow I seemed to be living like a nomad…with my gym bag ever ready at the back of the car…tho’ it’s not like I visit the gym often nowadays…:( …shoes for all occasions stashed at the back (very important since the last time I forgot my work shoes, I had to rush out to get a pair during lunch hour!!) and I tend to eat and drink in my car too to maximise the time spent travelling…:) Shhh….I know I know….we will get fined for eating in the car..also it’s dangerous, not to mention the difficulty in maneuvring the steering wheel with one hand! I also have this bad habit of reading my text and sms while driving…this one I really admire those peeps who are able to text without needing to look at the phone at all…if it’s me right….will prob end up texting something gibberish!

It’s rather interesting to look around and see what other drivers are doing inside their cars…especially when you are stuck in traffic jams (which is practically a norm every morning for me now). Some drivers are really gross…they pick their noses and dig their teeth when they think nobody is looking! Some will be doing their own karaoke in the car and it’s amusing to see the mouths moving…hahahaha….ok, I am also guilty of this…hey, it helps keep me awake mah….Some ladies like to do their makeup…normal…as long as they don’t end up drawing a Nike swoosh as their eyebrow, reckon that is ok.  Some couples like to canoodle while stuck in the jam…hey, if you knew everybody else will be looking, then should be a bit more ‘reserve’ lar….we are not living overseas where this is the societal norm leh…..

On a related note, my pet peeves of drivers on the road

1) who like to accelerate and brake every 50 metre or so…

2) who drives like weekend drivers at 40km/hour and hogs the center of the lane

3) who can’t make up their mind whether to turn right/left or head straight. They put out their indicators then decide to go straight anyway

4) who tailgates you so near you feel they are waiting to bang you or keeps flashing at you to get outta the way since you must be driving at snail speed

5) who drives like formula one drivers switching lanes and racing with other cars
