The holidays have come to an end and though the weekend is around the corner, Friday is unfortunately a working day. The hols have been pretty good with much relaxing and chilling out with friends. Went to the zoo yesterday and was reminded of how great and amazing creation is.
Bad news however is that come Monday, the ERP gantry along ECP will start charging $2! Not so long ago, I remembered paying $0.50 only! Now have to wake up even earlier to get to work ~ sigh. Its a dog's life.
On my way to work today, was tuned in to the "Morning Show" by F.D. and Glen Ong and today's topic was apparently over some issue where a traffic warden was using vulgar language over some people who had made some sort of traffic offense. The discussion progressed to a point where it basically became a blame game etc. But one lady, interestly, spoke up for the traffic wardens and said that its not an easy job. Its stressful and while it should not be condoned, we should be sympathetic towards them. To have people challanging your authority when you are working etc, especially when they are in the wrong.
I read recently on a car forum of how some guy, who was obviously wrong, had an incident with a traffic warden and he recounted how he argued with her etc. While she did make some "silly" comments, the fact does not change he was in the wrong.
Its funny how, people can afford to buy a car, pay the expensive premiums for the car insurance, pay the ludicriously high ERP and parking both at home and in office, and not to mention the ever rising fuel prices, would choose to CHEAT on a mere $0.50 by parking illegally. Not to mention to try to wriggle out of it when you get caught. What is the world coming. If you can't pay the parking then I suggest you don't drive - as simple as that. Embarassed to be a driver.
