Middle Eastern madness is a good thing

Middle Eastern madness is a good thing

I recently came back from Amman, the capital of Jordan and I must say, the style of driving over there in the Middle East is somewhat shocking to say the least. Cutting into lanes which have virtually no lane markings, hard emergency braking and even burnouts on the roads which are worn till they actually 'shine' like the road does on a rainy day.

 

As a passenger, it was rather exciting though to see all this compared to 'civilized Singapore' judging from the fact that a huge accident had just taken place on the highway and a wrecked Jag greeted me as I took a bus from the airport to the hotel. But what about Dubai? The land of exotic cars that we will never have to chance to see here in Singapore like the Veyron (though there are rumours that one exists here) or the Mclaren F1.. you'd expect those cars to be tearing down the highways. But no. Check this video out and have a taste of what Middle Eastern madness is all about..

I stay and work in Dubai.

Dricing conditions versus 2 years ago have improved due to many speed cameras setup

There are so many natinalities here hence the driving standards here is somewhat messed up

This video caused a stir here but drivers have been arrested as I understand from the local papers

Of course there are some sympathisers who said these guys are having some fun only and have great driving skills; to that I say > fark you, if you want to kill yourself, do it alone and drive off a cliff and not on public roads. imbeciles

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost
