i was driving down a road at night among some light industry area, when a cyclist just cut into the road in front of me.
i managed to slow down in time. i flashed my headlights at him. what for? i don’t know. Feeling tired at that time for the night, i was cranking and i definitely had a thought of knocking him down. yes crazy thought. but no, i did not.
I drove past him. a foreign worker construction worker. I was wondering whether does he know he could get hurt real bad if he ever got knocked. was he trying to probably claim some worker’s insurance? or just plain ignorance.
It was not a close call in this case. but i thought that if such behavior continues, definitely some casualty soon.
few days later, i drove past this road again. a commotion was going on at the opposite direction of the road, with few cars stopping and drivers got one. one guy lying on the road, looking a little lifeless.
as i am nearing 30, for me, it feels kind of sucky when you still have mum stretching her neck now and then into my space. be it just sitting and watching late nite TV, or back home late, or not taking a bath yet!! it never fails to invite any prompts from her to sleep now, “where did i go”, or go take a bath.
go buy/rent a place. move out. sure.
but in singapore, buying a property seems like rocket science. And it is never feasible financially to rent a place by yourself. especially in such times when the economy is reported to be in the stage of positive growth, it also serves as an excuse to raise the public tranport, housing, taxes all together.
plus pro-family policies are preventing singles below age of 35 to get their own public housing.
i would definitely prefer to have my own personal space. sure no mum to help do laundry, cleaning up or breakfast. but hey i do know that i can survive and still live healthily, and i have done that during the few years of studying abroad.
so when can i be able to have to place to call my own, one without interferences unless i allow.
