DELHI AND LESSONS LEARNT
I thought a lot about what I should post.
And I decided, since I am in Delhi, India..I shall post about my observations.
1. If you are used to drving in Singapore, you cannot..I repeat..CANNOT drive in Delhi..
I mean... the car horn is like music to people's ears here. You are in your car and at a red signal...which means you have to stop..right?? DUH. n then the ass in the car behind you is honking away like as if...the sound from the horn is creating enough energy to make my car move OR, or or or... the horn will make the red signal turn green faster..
and then take for instance..
some people who dont care for another human life. When you see an ambulance..with the red, flashing light on.. that means.. it is going to save someone who is in dire need for medical help. And then just because you wanna turn right n ur signal hasnt turned red, BUT the straight signal is green..why cant u just go straight so that the ambulance behind you can go do its job instead of waitin while u bury ur ass in the car seat. maybe u didnt get what i said.. so here is a diagram to explain to you what I saw...like 3 times!
Now, it may seem I am hypocritical.. one side I say.. should not jump signals. and then the other side I might seem to uphold what I m preachin..
but the thing remains is that.. I;ve noticed.. some car owners JUST care about themselves... do NOT do the right thing.. and it just ticks me off to listen to rash drivers talking about the 'oh-so-terrible-state' of Delhi traffic...when HELLOOO>> YOU are the very cause for it...
I was going back home in the car from some resort which is located on the outskirts of Delhi.. and it take not more than an hour to reach home.. n this other evening... it took us... GUESS... 3 Freeeakin hours to get back home.. the car was movin at a lower speed than my jogging speed... I couldve jogged..but i didnt.DUH.. TRAFFIC! maddening. everyone wants to get across before that green goes red...
But ofcoz.. there are some things that are extremely unique to Indian roads which Singapore does not have..
1. You have a lovely, oh funny view of people considering the roads their toilets. after all its a public good eh?
then u laugh all the way back home,,i dunno y..even though i m sorta grossed out..
2. You can go for Looooong loooong drives in delhi..coz thr are enough roads for that and the fuel aint tht expensive...but..spore? hah... before u strt ur loooong drive...from pasir ris in the east..u r already in jurong in the west. and then the cherry on the top..there is ERP and all that watevr.
I am gonna learn how to drive now. then ill fail and then maybe ill get inspired to study. my books are rotting.
And then thr is the AWESOME food stuff down here.. whch is like SUPERB! n doesnt burn a hole in ur pocket.
And all that shopping..wooow.
And i Learnt the importance of appreciating someone's efforts and their hardwork into somethin tht is done for you. coz it hurts if you hear ur near n dear bitchin about ur efforts. come on, speak more softly pls? or dun speak at all. HAHA indian soap opera...with the ladies sleepin also with heavy jewellery and make up on. mwahaha
and then I also learnt that jealously can creep in anywhere - even amongst friends whr u least expect it and which makes u go 'huh?' And then I realise what Vicky said is so true..that Jealously...even a bit...causes insecurity and spoils all kinds of relationships.. or alleas creates certain grey areas( he didnt say the last part =D)
And I also learnt that why the book 'Brave New World' is so well loved by guys.
This book displays a world.. in the future...the civilised world..where... ironically.. promiscuity is as normal as breathin.. and actaully committing urself to tht one special one is lik what the savages do and is un heard of. so yeah u are REQUIRED as lik some sorta unsaid law to sleep w as many people of the opposite sex as possible.
utopia?
i am wondering.. it is kind of a cool world..come to think of it... u kno... no tension of actually betraying whomsoever. and oh- u get anyone u want, anytime. mwahah. NO NO. ! that wud be awful. we'll be like animals then. even animals alleas hav a family..in the new world.. 'family' is lik a swear word. oohh i m so excited to study this book.. except tt readin it is sooooo BORING.
And I learnt that I should not wear my jeans too low. Dont think sick please.. its jus something else whch cant be mentioned. BUT ws super embarassin, nonetheless.
and I learnt that I shudnt bother wastin an international sms..
I ALSO learnt that flirting is soo bloody cheeky.
AND lastly, hearing your parents swear in English is sooo ODD. O-D-D.
And for the time being, thats all I've learnt. and the post is too long already. and I gotta sleep.
FUN strts soon.
