简单真的很好 (Friday, May 22, 2009 / 3:06 PM)
简单真的很好I think... I think too much.
Like this afternoon, when I passed through a ERP gantry, I got really quite angry. I really cannot agree with the ERP system. It's like a filter away the poor system. It's like saying "if you can't afford to pay $1, don't use this road!" WAT???? When I was driving along Orchard Rd, I noticed Scotts Rd was JAM PACKED while Orchard Rd was empty!!! Because everyone was avoiding the ERP? And I also noticed that the few cars on Orchard Rd were Merc or BMW or some luxury car. (I'm not driving a luxurious car, just very late!) Why is the government's solution to traffic congestion a discrimination against poor people!!!!! gggggrrrr..... Why not put a gantry that only allows cars under $100,000 to use this road? Cos anyway the expensive cars are faster right? They can take the further route! haha.
And why MUST orchard road be empty??? While Scotts Rd is so congested?? Oh! So that pedestrians can run across the 4 lane road from Lucky Plaza to Ngee Ann City! That's right!
urghh... I dunno why i trouble myself with such things!! But I do get quite gek over it lo!
That's why I say I think too much. A friend sent an sms to me before regarding some other matter... blah blah "was lousy because all these jokers (big bosses with only $ on their mind) want is Fast $ regardless the means. Typical world eh but i'm not in this race. haha. me live in my simple world."
WAH! Brilliant! HE totally 置身事外 lo! Although he is in the middle of things. I can see him, not bothering and enjoying life. He likes to cycle and would cycle all the way to Changi and around the island. A nice song can make him happy for a really long time.
I think all we can do is, do the best we can in our own areas. And more importantly, enjoy the simple things in life. Don't worry about things that are bigger than you. Like the stupid ERP!!! Not like I'm interested in governing the country right? Why was I worrying and getting angry over a stupid ERP gantry?
Of course, we should be socially responsible. We need to take stands, make decisions, fight for our rights or dreams, be involved in this society because we are in it. But we can only do what we can do.
We can enjoy the stars as they are laid out in the sky. We can also move our heads around to look at them at different angles. But we can't move the stars around to form the shape of doraemon in the sky right? =D
did I make any sense? hahahahahahhaa.......
