Guess Tolkien didn't think of this one ...
Lord Of the Rings in a Nutshell
Gandalf: That ring is bad news, Frodo, it must be destroyed.
Frodo: But how?
Gandalf: It must be placed in the fires of Mount Doom.
Frodo: Oh well, I guess that means a lot of walking, camping and then
running away from monsters, lots of death and almost losing all my friends?
Gandalf: Nah, I just so happen to know some big eagles that can fly us
straight to the mountain and we can strategically drop it into the lava.
We'll be home by tea.
Frodo: Cool...I'll make scones.
This left me laughing so hard, I tot I'd tear my stitches... Anyway, to quote my sis, I really feel this statement fit the email too... She said,'There goes all my LOTR fantasies of adventure man'... And I so agree... Wahaha...
Anyway, nothing much happened today, rented a car, drove to camp to pick up the remainder (read: duffel bag) of my stuff in the bunk and did my wedical checkup... drove back, dumped everything and sent the car back... the only gripe I had was when I was driving back, and I was on the PIE, I wanted to get onto the Bedok North exit, so I had to change to the leftmost lane... after I changed, I realised I was behind this motorcyclist... and he was hogging the ENTIRE lane... going at 50+kmh on the expressway!!! So for the entire way onto the exit, which was like 600m, I was essentially driving behind the motorcyclist, going at around 50, with an entire lane of traffic piled up behind me as well...
I mean, yeah, sure, some ppl will say, "But the sliproad speed limit is 50 what"... I'd just say, so? most don't go 50, at least 60... which is much better, cos the speed at the left lane when you get off the sliproad is also around 60, so you'll be at just the right speed to enter it... The thing I'm pissed at is that he was hogging the entire lane going up to the sliproad... I could only pass him when I saw that the sliproad had 2 lanes, and I just shifted to the other lane, which was just blocked by some trucks sometime ago... and passed by him, as did the entire lane behine me... sheesh... I think he forgot he was on a bike, tot he was in a car... I mean, really, your old bike is slow, so I know it's not really your fault, but the least you could have done was not hog the lane and let others pass you...
Same thing about the right lane too... it's supposed to be for OVERTAKING vehicles, so if you wanna go 70 - 80, please, use the other lanes... imagine driving behind this car, and seeing this whole stretch of empty road in front of it, just cos the car in front is going at 80+, where the limit is 90... you're not overtaking, you're hogging the lane... And I did glance in my rear view mirror... there was one whole stretch of cars too... I couldn't change lanes either cos the lane at my left was going just as slow...
Urgh... I'm the one with the P plate and I know which lane to take, not like you, who are supposed to have more experience than me, but still don't know which lane to take... And you're definitely not a Johor driver too... those are worse... change lanes without signalling, last minute cut across 2 or more lanes... wah... when I drive and see a malaysian plate, I leave a longer distance behind it... scared lah... hehe...
Man... I really wanna justgo for a long drive with little or no traffic... that would be great... Now I know how good taxi drivers really are... Hehe... They really have the balls... one time, this cabby went at 140kmh on the PIE... extreme right lane... Wah... I was holding onto my seat belt the whole trip man... Ah... the only time you can feel like you're in a racing car... Hehe...
