..live in Yew Tee.
It is THE uluated hotspot of the universe. Beyond YT, the road ends and meanders off into army camps, factories, cemeteries and chicken farms.
WHY would anyone want to live here?? Argh! Argh! Argh!
In fact, it's so uluated that my cab driver this morning revealed that Yew Tee's one of the hottest spots for 'calls'. WHY? Because no taxi driver in his right mind would cruise past an end-of-the-road housing estate, that's why! No cabs will appear, therefore, unless you call for them. And so I *freaking* had to wait HALF AN HOUR at the MRT station, no less, to get to the head of a three-person long line. And it was 10-something am, nowhere near the peak hour! Wah biangz.
On the other hand, the number of empty cabs floating around increases dramatically after 10pm or so. Because Yew Tee's so far away from civilization that it takes at least an hour to get anywhere much further than Jurong East, that's why! URGH!
And oh! Pot shot at Singapore's urban planning: There are only two major roads that serve Choa Chu Kang, namely the KJE and Bukit Batok Road. Upper Bukit Timah Road doesn't count because it parallels the KJE and BKE, and gets hopelessly stuck anyway whenever there's a jam on the expressway - what do you expect from a two-lane wide artery that has to absorb the flow from the only expressway to serve Woodlands, Yew Tee, Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang? so, whenever there's a jam, there are as good as NO alternative routes. ARGH!

I miss living in Clementi! *bawls*
