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: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of
