Back to simple life?? What about common sense?

Just the other day, I was thinking "hmm...what to do for our happy hour..dont want the usual overpriced drink at a cafe.."
So I called the usual 'gang' and went down to the wharf in town..where all the satay stalls are...and I realised that I'd almost forgotten the beauty of sitting at a riverside table with a view of Kg Ayer on the other side, watching the sun set, having a few sticks of satay and coconut juice...traditional fare...although there were a few silly things like...you know there's a zebra crossing which spans the road from the riverside stalls to the parking lots opposite and absolutely no cars stop for you when you want to cross the road...or the slight whiff of fermenting river water due to the amount of rubbish in it...well I guess that adds to the quaint sights and sounds (smells??) of Brunei

In another time frame, last night I was going home from work...now I'm making a right turn to get up to the highway across a lane, now this junction is dark, fine I can see this one car's headlights, wait for it to pass, then go, then suddenly I see a dark blue Honda CRX with no headlights on screaming in VTEC zone down the road & I got the shock of my life....I mean its logical that if you want to kill yourself by limiting your vision fine, dont take collateral damage with you...after crossing the road, barely, looking into the rearview mirror and see that its brake lights ARE on but not its headlights...prat...
