The New Paper Headline today:
SINGAPORE MOTORIST DIES IN CRASH
He beats red light while fleeing from police.
Sister says: He has no licence but he loves to speed
He rides like he wants to die
And I think he's only 17.
I suddenly feel a teeny weeny bit smarter already!

Crazy crazy roads
Yesterday, there were three road incidents that I saw on the Pan Island Expressway. Incredible.
In the first incident, a pick-up careened suddenly three lanes (from middle right all the way to the extreme left lane), and then past the road shoulder hit against the roadside fences along the shoulder lane and richocheted off. The pick-up then came to a stop in the road shoulder. Amazingly, no other car was involved despite there being cars before and following the pick-up all the way. Incredibly, no one had to brake or take evasive actions! Go figure. Right after I passed the pick-up, not more than 100 m later, there was a loud bang.
(A change in plans led me right back to the opposite side of the expressway). There, I saw the source of the loud bang. A lorry's back tyre has exploded. Go figure. It rests in the traffic island right after the exit to the expressway.
And late in the evening, after my shopping and dinner, on the way home, we saw a 12 car pile-up although the newspapers said that there were two separate incidents involving 10 cars in all. I counted and there were 12!
So exciting. Except there were no deaths. We could increase our IQ by a lot if these folks voluntarily removed themselves from the gene pool!

Things I learn marking compositions
"I prefer to go to Perth in Western Australia because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. That means, the sun rises in Gold Coast, which is in Eastern Australia, and sets in Perth. I love sunsets, so Perth is more suitable for me."
"I think I prefer to go to Perth in Western Australia because the sun rises in the east and Gold Coast is in Eastern Australia. Therefore, Gold Coast would be colder than Perth and I don't like the cold."
"I would not like a strenuous tour package as I suffer from asthma. If the activities are too physical, I may get an attack"... "But I love animals. In fact, I am really looking forward to going to the Perth Zoo, where I can see a spectacular array of Australia's native animals such as koalas, kangaroos and dingoes."
"I don't like to learn how to surf in Gold Coast because I dislike getting wet and I could get sea sick. However, I think I would enjoying a one-day fishing trip in Perth."
