I realized one thing that I do not do while driving back at Malacca. Probably the traffic wasn’t too heavy, and the slower pace lifestyle. But when I back to KL, I started to give bad comments and rising temper while I am driving on the road. I have to go through these in-considerate drivers each day that somehow it affects me little by little without me realizing it. It affects my mood and it also triggers me to loose my temper. I wasn’t behaving like this previously. Need to do something about it. I think the drivers drive base on the rules below:

Rules of driving
1. Accelerate and tail gate the car in front of you when you see a person signal to indicate of
cutting into your lane. To prevent this, do not signal when you want to change lane.
2. Do not put on signal when you are turning into a junction. Just let the drivers waiting like a
fool at the junction. You will feel great, like king of the road because others will think that you
are heading straight and will make way for you.
3. Tail gate the car in front of you if you think he/she is driving slowly. Tail gate may helps to
make the driver in front of you anxious / panic, hence will accelerate.
4. Do not give way. Others are just taking advantage.
5. Do not wait for queuing up one by one for the give way lane in front. It’s time wasting. Just cut queue at the zebra line. Causing more traffic congestion is not your business. Only obey the rule of queuing up when there’s a traffic police.
6. If there’s an ambulance passing by you, accelerate and follow closely behind the ambulance.
This will help to ensure you get to your destination faster while the rest of the drivers are stuck in the jam.
7. Stop at yellow box if there's no traffic police. Cars at the junction will have to give way for you to go first.

Yeah, I think you are right by saying that we should not cling onto each other.

My friend once told me this paradox: in every stage of life, you will have different type of friends. When you move on to another stage of life, you just can not cling onto the friends of the previous stage.

This might sound scary and cruel but that is the fact. When I left the old company, after the "grand" farewell celebration, who is left to remember you?

Not the good friends that we claim to have will remember us. Those people whom you have touched will remember you.

After I left my company, I received a phone call one day from a Myanmarese technician that used to work under me. I am relieved that at least someone sincerely remembers me.

Haha. I wrote it in the sarcastic way. In Chinese, it's "fan yu" and I love to use that to criticize people. Those rules are meant to describe the in-considerate drivers out there. We are not suppose to get influenced.

Oh Edwin, your first comment is not for this post.

Yeah. I do agree with you. Friend comes and goes. We need to cherish those good ones, and move on with life. Hmm need to discern more. Thanks Ed for your sharing.
