and after i started working
it's confirmed... i'm quite a patient person...LOL
after much thought and 'macro-micro' analysis, whatever that means... i just made that up
i conclude that singaporeans are a uniquely weird lot
maybe it's the side effects of living in this fast paced, tiny, kiasu-society a.k.a singapore
we want things fast. fast. fast. now.
let's see if i can quote a few examples
eh....
we let our kids go through intensive tuition and stuff to keep up in school...
we want to see significant weight loss in 3 days...
hmm, we let kids revise a grade higher than what they're at...
we don't like to queue
you know time is money time is money
hmm...this brings me to another topic
besides the prime location of the woodlands checkpoint
the payable toll for vehicles is also less than that of tuas
so common sense ya
more people are likely to use woodlands
and there's that age old problem of traffic jams
actually it's not rocket science
just a matter of supply and demand
the checkpoint is only so big
it can only operate at that certain level before a queue starts to form
and due to the overwhelming support from the public
queues form rather quickly
oh here's something interesting i heard
there was someone who commented on the jams in woodlands
" last time when u guys did not open so many counters, there were jams outside the checkpoint"
wait there's more
" now u all open the counters and there's jam in the checkpoint"
well, same theory
there is only a exit due to security reasons
and to top it all
do ya'll know how many people try to bring in contraband and what not into singapore
a lot, from what i've heard
so you see more to check.
checkpoint wad.
not chop-and-go point.
so jams are inevitable.
this problem (no matter how bad, or less bad it becomes) will always be there.
i think the only way to solve this problem is when singapore suddenly finds herself in the middle of the pacific ocean with no near neighbours that require a land checkpoint
ooo....i wonder how's that like
