Cars and buses

it was such a long drive from tampines to jln dermawan... at 12 am, my eyes were struggling to stay open n focus on the road. quite dangerous now that i think of it, on a few occasions i had veered out of my lane, thank God there was no car beside mine. the Matrix is back with its rightful owner now - and i have been rendered car-less (well at least when my mum is using her car). will be taking public transport to work for the next few weeks... (and keeping my slender smooth fingees crossed that COE wil drop in the coming round of bidding).

so today i had to go back to office for a dept meeting, and took the bus from my office to boon lay, then boon lay to cck. as i tapped my transitlink card at the entrance, this strange feeling of nostalgia hit me... and i wondered why i was so unwilling to take the bus n MRT, the reliable, economic mode of transport i had been using for the 4 months i worked at that hospital in the west.

it's just because i m used to driving now. taking less than an hour to travel to anywhere in singapore seems such a breeze, i had taken driving for granted. i had forgotten how driving is a luxury that some people can never be able to afford, and here i am, asking for a car as if i deserved it. it's almost shameful. materialism has corrupted me and much as i hate to admit it, my frequent mixing around with car-owners has made me underestimate the heavy burden of owning a car - cos i m so accustomed to driving one without owning one.

horrors, i have become the spoilt materialistic bitch :(
