new perspective

to all the motorists out there...


always think that you'll be able to get away with summons?
think that being caught is fairly low-risk?
anyway, it's just for a short while right?


well, here's a new perspective.


the next time you stop on a double-yellow line to go grab a quick bite,
the next time you decide to drive in the bus lane during peak hour,
the next time you park in a season-parking lot 'cause you can't find a white one,


just think of it as placing money on your windshield.


as i parked my motorcycle by the roadside at capitol building today, it suddenly dawned upon me,
that i would be risking $70 as i made a quick walk to raffles city shopping centre.


what if a parking attendant happened to pass by during that short 10-minute span?
it would be as good as placing the money on my bike and hoping that it would still be there when i got back.
much like placing a deposit.
so sure man, might as well just put the money there next time round...


don't want to tear a 65c coupon right?
okay then just put $8 on the windshield, later come back see if still there.
make sense?




moving on, today i managed to reset my most-crazy-awesome-thing-done-recently (haha the previous one obviously being my rendezvous with sir stamford raffles...)
what i did shall not be said here, unfortunately. heh heh
however, i feel that we've all gotta' reset the mcatdr often, otherwise it just becomes pretty noob.
nobody cares if you broke into haw par villa last month, or if you threw a bottle into a convenience store last sem.
that's all so long ago.
and it pretty much means you've been pathetic for all that time until now.


after all, i do try to live by a statement i made recently.
and as i recall, it goes something like:
life is all about doing those crazy reckless things, otherwise we'll only live to regret not doing those.



See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you



My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
