Before I start griping about the problems that I have with driving in this country, I'll like to clarify certain facts first.

 

I have been driving only for more than half a decade, and am only in my mid-twenties. So I guess on the experience scale I will probably rank myself in-between amateur and intermediate.

 

But having been travelled in a family car since I was four, and as a frequent cab user, I may actually have an idea or two on what I am blabbering about

When you are single, cab or public transport is no problem.

When you are attached or married, a car is useful but a "want" not a "need", you get by.

 

BUT:

When you have kids or your parents need care, a car will be very very useful, esp when you need to ferry the kids/parents to their caregivers while you work.

Hi LoverofCar,

 

Yes that is a facelifted Volvo S60, however, the above car was a 'prop' used for the picture and does not belong to me or my family.

Hi Pocus,

 

I totally agree with your point of view. As mentioned in my write up, for a single no commitment person, cabbing is absolutely perfect albeit with some minor drawbacks.

 

But if I were to write the same topic a decade down the road, now married with kids, the title would probably read "The best stationwagon for a family of four". Haha.

 

Thanks for reading!

I have a driving licence and I'd rather drives a car than take a cab in Singapore.

  • Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    A right-handers world

    I was mid-way through a bike ride in Ladahk, feeling the ache in my right hand, when a thought occurred to me: “Huh, how come the throttle is always on the right side of all bikes?”  Statistically, about 90% of people in the world are right-handed. Full disclosure: I am right-handed, part of this largely ignorant majority.  And if you think about it, some things are designed clearly with that in mind.  Throttle on a motorcycle? Right hand. Accelerator pedal in a car? Right f

    My inexplicable attraction to instant food

    Ready-to-eat microwaveable meals, instant noodles, plane food - these aren't typically the kinds of foods that people will spring for when given a choice. But for some reason, I actually enjoy eating foods like that, and would even find myself craving for them at times. I know, most of you would say it's the salt, seasoning, MSG, sugar and all the unhealthy flavourings that I'm hooked to. And you might be right - but I think it's more than that; there's something about eati

    Relaxing to restoration videos

    There are tons of YouTube videos one could watch to unwind and decompress at the end of the day, perhaps while having dinner. You could watch one of those nature documentaries, travel vlogs featuring beautiful beaches, or perhaps a cooking show. But there's something strangely therapeutic about watching restoration videos. And the channel I find myself drawn to is Fumicho Restoration, a channel full of videos of old motorcycles being repaired and essentially reborn. I'm not even familiar wi
