Have one ........

 

Got an experience whilst driving along Mandai Road towards Upp Thomson Rd. It started after Jalan Ulu S'bwang turining right thinking of taking a short cut along Old Mandai Rd (near Mandai Columbarium) to Upp Thomson Rd. It was 3.30am in the morning and whilst before reaching Bath Rd, suddenly a NTUC taxi appear behind me from nowhere.

 

At the traffic light junction of Upp Thomson Rd, the taxi stopped behind me and did not take the right lane which was empty (2 lanes turning right). As we turn right and after the petrol kiosk, it overtake me and speed off. Turning my head to look whilst the taxi was overtaking me, I could not see the driver...... [sweatdrop]

 

The taxi was travelling very fast and I tried to catch up with it and was reaching almost the speed of 110km/h. As it speed along the stretch of Upp Thomson Rd after SLE bridge, the taxi disappear right before my very eyes. I slowed down my speed after that and try to keep a lookout for the taxi but to no avail......

 

There are no exit on the left or right along this stretch after SLE and the only exit is at Tagore Lane. Could not locate the taxi anywhere until I reach the junction of Yio Chu Kang Rd. :blink:

 

Relate my story to my friend and was informed that there was once a NTUC taxi totally smash up in an accident and the driver dies on the spot along Upp Thomson Road before Tagore Lane. :ph34r:

 

Heard about that story and some other stories about Mandai and Tagore.

 

If you happen to drive at those hours next time (be it 7th month or not), take a chance to look at some of the bus stops along Upper Thomson Road and Mandai Road towards Tagore. You might see something too. [:p][sweatdrop]

by the way, i know that SG has forwarded her time by 1 hour to go in line with China in the 80s.

 

that will also mean those born after the time adjustment may not have the actual time recorded on their birth cert.

 

does that mean if someone born in 1990 and time stated in birth cert as 600am...that could mean the baby sld be born at 0500am?
