which would you prefer?
  • to be stuck in a traffic jam that would prolly take you an extra mile and longer time to reach your destination; or
  • take the alternative route but you'll have to pay the toll?

me? depend on circumstances. if i'm rushing or in a hurry, definitely i'll opt for the toll paying route. why waste time being stuck in the traffic that might consume 2 hours of your lifetime especially when you're in a hurry to reach the destination?? there are people who are against toll (i am too at times. especially when travelling from one state to another. manyak betui harus bayar!) i'm not saying i'm ok with the fact that our country burdens and impose on its citizens and road-users the obligation to pay tolls in return that we get to use the highways..its just that, well, its the rules and law, and it doen't seem like we can escape from it unless u tau some jalan laluan org asli ke, tembus memane hutan ke, and ofkos u must have a 4WD lah kaan..

hmm...also lah kan, u waste ur time stuck on the road, u waste fuel also meh. so dari u elok2 kene bayar round rm1.50 jek, you'd have to pay more for ur fuel.

so some might say, its a good time to relax, listen to the radio, appreciate the view and the beauty of nature yadaa yadaa..that i agree jugakla..sometimes, if i'm out driving with a friend or just alone, sometimes, i'm okay with the traffic. true, i can munch away, more time to chat with the friend, or read while listening to the radio; and watch the people and the blue sky, the raindrops on the screen, the leaves falling from the trees...yeah u get the picture. but that's only sometimes!! and vital fact, i am impatient thus tak slalu lah i'm okay with the traffic heh..

one more thing, when ur stuck in a traffic you'll have to bear with all sorts of drivers' attitude and ill manners and selfishness!! haiyyoo..sakit jiwa sungguh!! like they're the only ones in a hurry! paling sakit hati kalau those big konon-luxurious cars berlagak like they're so big and VIP so they must be didahulukan!!! nih yg rase nak bawak lori tanki minyak! besar mengalahkan segala kenderaan!


*my mom always say it's better to opt to spend your money than waste time or put at stake ur safety..

** terkilan coz when Tim from Red tried to call me back for a chat on this topic, my phone went dead and it was that very moment then i discovered that my charger rosak!! *huff*

  • once i waited for a bus but it didn't come for ages...so i decided to walk to my destination (which took 45 minutes)

    i'd prefer walking than wasting time waiting

  • Ello,akum,..
    1stly, we don't have tolls here in Brunei (hehe,jgn jeles)..
    2ndly, there's hardly any jam..
    well, kkdg tu adala..tp di atas sebab2 yg tak realistic,..parents ambik anak2 frm sekolah,so parents parking tgh2 jalan..or depan2 pagar sekolah tu..(pening2)..
    So, why did i respond to this poll? hehe..saja2..
    but I've experienced this situation b4..
    So,.. if i were in Msia..& i had to make a choice,..I'd rather pay the toll.. Time is much more valuable than money..
