my drive in town has been pretty pleasant and i've been so patient, not until 2weeks into my return back here. i have then transformed back into one impatient driver. i curse in car all the time; i drive kiasu-ly instead of kiasi-ly; my mood changes; my patience declines, because the malaysian drivers made me do so.

unlike in the uk where i can safely cross the zebra crossing without having to wait a nanosecond for the cars to stop because drivers there automatically stop for you as you're APPROACHING the zebra crossing, in malaysia (or kl at the very least), 90% of the cars are likely to run you over if you cross it without taking into consideration that the cars are NOT going to stop for you. even if you, being the extinct 10% kl drivers, has generously spared an extra few seconds of driving time to allow the sad pedestrian who has waited for EVER to cross the road, chances are that cars behind will show their gratuity by sparing you a few loud honks.

it is illegal to stop at yellow boxes, but no wor, not here in kl. you're meant to stop on the yellow box and block the road so that other drivers aren't able to make a turning to the opposite road or wherever lar. if you decide to stay away from the yellow box (especially when caught in a jam), then congratulations lar you've kindof created some noise pollution thanks to your dumb act.

the same applies to the traffic light. green is go mar, yellow (or orange, whichever you favour) is accelerate HARD, red is GOOOO LAR DENG STOP FOR WHAT CCB NOW HAFTA WAIT TWO FUCKING MINUTES FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AGAIN LAR (insert more foul words).

and then there's times when a normally traffic-free road become fucking congested at off-peak/odd hours. "why?" you ask. ha chances are that an accident has occurred further ahead, and those sibehcibai drivers all also slooooow down wanna have a glance at the number plate lar, or else wanna see if there's any dead bodies around lar, or else just wanna "WAHH" or "oOOoo got accident" or "TSK TSK" at the unfortunate parties.

and double lines. what the fuck man it's illegal to cut into the lane beside you if there's a double line in between the two lanes lar deng. SOMEMORE wanna honk when the car beside you refuse to let you cut in.

and the furthest right lane is AKA the fast lane. wanna drive 60kmph then please lar go enjoy your breeeeezy drive on the other lanes lar.

and i really can't understand those who can't drive in their lane. picture this - a two-lane road, you're driving on the left lane, while cibet on the right. but cibet's car takes up like 20% or more of the left lane, and diedie also dowan to steer the car and stay in cibet's own lane. you say leh feel like killing cibet anot?

and those who drives with their headlights switched on at high beam. %#@$*)!@$#!

and those who, without putting on the signal, cuts into your lane out of a sudden when you're speeding down the lane, forcing you to hit the breaks hard, thus giving you a near heart attack.

right, i can't think of anymore to add in now. URGH what a place we live in.
