Kiss goodbye to owning a car!

Kiss goodbye to owning a car!

Saw this in the papers this morning: More ERP Gantries and longer ERP hours.

I wondered for the next few years, for one expressway there would be like 10 gantries waiting down the road. it will be worse than paying road tolls. Hmm.... To get from one place to another would have used at least 2 or more expressway. With each gantry, charging from 50 cents to $2.50... Hmm.... You can do the maths!

So now does it mean that all the smaller roads are going to be more crowded, then when no one uses the expressway, gantries would start popping up along the small road as well. That will be driver's worst nightmare! Haa...

Hmm... this plus COE plus new GST and a lot of other little little things, I think I can really kiss my wish to have a car goodbye! Haa...

Bye!


Hmm... BTW that is my dream car at the moment.

Recently, met up with a few friends and the topic always will go to owning a car. Wonder y as everyone is in a hurry to own a car? Jz know yesterday that my close fren also jz booked a car. Well for him, I know he is going to get one sooner or later when he says he is looking at car only.

Here, cars are expensive as we need to buy a piece of paper call COE before we can buy a car. Although I got a licence to drive, but I never though of buying a car reason being:

1. No money to buy one and all the additional cost that comes with it.
2. I prefer to be driven then to drive.
3. The drivers here generally all impatient.
4. Hard to find parking lots.
5. Once I have a car, I will start to run around as well.

In short, I rather be the passenger. I dun mind buying a car if someone is willingly to drive me from point A to point B. Hee.... Come to think of it! I even decided what car I want to buy already. Hee.... Therefore at the moment if I am feeling lazy, I would take a cab. Hee... The amount of $$ that I spent on cabs now is still lesser than the monthly instalments for the car.

However, I rather use the $$ to do the things that I like to do eg. travelling, diving, food etc.

So to HW, hope that once you get the car, we still have chance to meet up since I think you will be bz with ur new toy. After all we are only acquaintance only and I know I not in your priority list. Hee...
