Woked up late and extra blur, no doubt due to the strong milk tea I had at Macau Cafe last night.
Tried to pump tyres last night, but 1 corner very strange, air doesn't seems to go in (smtg wrong with the valve stem?) Made it a point to check out this morning when I pass any tyre shop.
Went up Stevens Rd and onto PIE (west bound)... FWAH. Heavy traffic immediately, EMAS advised an acc ahead, jam till Clementi too! Yikes. Promptly got off at Farrer Road... maybe I'll go via Bt Timah Rd then W'lands Road up instead. Right after exting the PIE, saw a row of cars shortly in front. Tot there was an acc or taxi picking up passengers so went 1 lane right. Then I found out... knn, that's actually the long Q to go onto Bt Timah Rd! :furious: Bopian, I NEVER use this road in morning peak hour traffic.
So I continue going, till I reach Holland Rd. And AGAIN, at the T-junction with Clementi Rd, the tailback was like at least 500m?? :furious: :furious: Needed 6 cycles to finally clear the lights!
After SP, went up the overhead viaduct, where there's a short curvy tunnel section after. A cab was slow on the right lane so I overtook on the left. At the last possible moment, he "ate" into my lane, just as I was about to pass him with a speed differential of 30+ kph. Freaking had to e-brake and horn at the same time! :furious::furious::furious: Think I missed contact by 1 foot or so. He moved back fully into his lane and when I passed him, surprisingly he waved sorry; at least he was aware of the near-miss... hhm.
Travelled up W'lands Rd and went into the Caltex petrol kiosk. Unfortunately the tyre shop there was busy with 2 pickups! :furious::furious::furious::furious:
So now I'm in the office. Late, tyre anomaly unsolved, and one hairy near-accident to boot...
This is my unlucky day (so far)! How is yours??
