Bloody madhouse

.
KPE (Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway) Phase 1 is open today.

And I reached office at 9.30am! KNN..... -_-lll

I start work at 8.30am, being late for 15mins is fine. But NOT freaking 60mins later!

The beginning...
The trip on the ECP from Bedok to Tanjong Pagar, used to only take 20mins, max. So i usually reached office at 8.45am.
Later, the IR (integrated resort, or the CASINO) is to be built. So BIG & HEAVY & ULTRA SLOW trucks-loaded-with-sand started to invade ECP, when there were already CONTAINERS & BIG BUSES on the roads during PEAK hours. And so the journey took up 30mins, max. Gradually i reached office at 9am.
(Kel & I refuse to give up our precious sleep. Honestly, i have been pondering recently why is it that even though i no longer need to study or attend night classes, my lifestyle seems more packed causing me to be more tired compared to studying part-time? *digressing*)

Final straw: KPE to ease traffic on CTE & PIE
NNB.
To get to the KPE, one gotta use the ECP first. Journey to work on the 1st day of the opening of KPE Phase 1 took 45mins. (i overslept by 15mins cuz it was a Fri, and i din know of the KPE opening.)
Reached office: A record breaking 9.30am. How fashionably late can i get?

This is only Phase 1 of KPE. I simply "can't" wait for KPE to be wholly open. Time to take the MRT train again, it's more reliable.

Oh, i think i forgot to mention that currently, the number of cars in Singapore have crossed the half a million mark. Due to low COE prices and low upfront deposit payment. Sweet.

But hor... The number of the ERP gantries have increased and will continue to increase in the future, to include EVENING PEAK hours. And there was also a recent increase in the ERP prices.
hmm... So why the FARK is there still a BLOODY traffic jam in the morning?

Why not disallow the big vehicles to travel during peak hours to ease the traffic, especially on expressways?
Why not increase the COE prices to reduce the number of vehicles?
Why not scrap the low upfront payment finance scheme to further reduce the number of vehicles on the road?

Isn't this nice?
A perfect reason for the Government to place more ERP gantries and raise ERP prices but not solving the obvious issue which is that there are simply too many cars in Small Singapore area.

Or is it just better to benefit from the REVENUE it can generate for the economy?

Gosh! We may soon become the 1st country with a high volume of traffic jams but a small country area in size. Nothwithstanding the numbers of 'fees' we have to pass through &/or pay.

Ironic $ingapore.

I am an Analyst-to-be.

.
I have just signed the appointment letter for the position of ANALYST during lunch!
Dun understand? I FOUND A NEW JOB so bring out the champagne! hahahaha *uber happy*

An opportunity to learn new things, a more challenging role. =D
Hopefully, i will finally be able to stay long in this company, adapt to a new culture, get along with the people there, do my work well and be recognized for my efforts. *cross my fingers*
A different job scope but in the same industry, no more drastic changes in my career history.

A wish come true, an opportunity given, so i will do my best to learn and give my best.
If all goes well, i hope to start on my further studies by the end of next year.

I will start work on 26 Nov, Monday.

=D

WHAT THE HECK! PERMANENTLY CLOSING DOWN!

*headache* all my albums. all the upcoming trouble.

so i had no choice but to transfer ALL the photos to , imagestation's suggestion for their members.

which also means tat after being transferred, i gotta do some checking, in case of IT glitches. dun wan those private pics to be viewed by unsavoury people, you know.

anyway, being the perfectly anal perfectionist, i ended up cleaning up and re-organising and editing album titles, etc. -_-''' and i have yet to complete it. how about the colour of the album cover huh?

Bear with me. Am trying my best to squeeze time here and there to do this sudden and unwanted ad-hoc project.
