Wrong turn, bad jam

Singapore roads can be quite confusing if you are not familiar with the area, even though there are road sighs everywhere. I took a wrong turn one night & i ended up queueing up with those cars going into Malaysia. It was not even a Friday night but the roads leading into the causeway were packed.

Not good news for those willing to travel the extra kilometer into our neighbour's for some cheao petrol. Well, this proves that nothing can really equal in this world. We use the same petrol in our cars but the price difference is about 100%, I think. The rule was set to protect our local petrol industry, but in a free market there shouldn't be any protectionist measures right? Anyway who would go all the way to JB just for a tank of petrol? The first few times might give you a thrill because you saved quite a bit, but sooner or later, people might just fill up at the local station rather than get caught in the jam (like I did that night) just to save a few tens of dollars, when the time spent queueing can be spent with your loved ones.

Ja neh!!!
