Trying my best to recognize roads...

I kept missing my exits at expressways! The first day I drove my family around, we were supposed to go Bukit Timah Plaza and I missed the expressway exit and went to Woodland to make an U-turn! My sis said I took 30mins to reach there... On that same day, I missed the U-turn point when going back home and went to Woodland again to make a U-turn. Luckily Singapore isn't that big.

My attempt to drive my mum and sis to IMM via the newer road failed when I missed the Toh Guan exit point on the expressway. I was on the extreme right lane, thinking that the exit will be on my right...(I just understand from my colleague that all exits on the expressways are on the left) In the end, I drove them to Beauty World Plaza for dinner, haa. It has been years since I last visited that place. I wonder how the shops could survive...it was a Sunday evening and yet there were not much people. It was drizzling that night. I did an emergency brake at an amber light upon seeing the traffic camera at the junction. There was a loud screeching sound from the rubbing of my tyres against the wet road. Luckily I was driving a new car with new tyres.

I will try to drive to the central area one day...maybe this Sunday. Hopefully I will not get lost and end up at somewhere unfamiliar, since I will be alone in the car...I hope my phone's GPS will work properly if I really end up in some weird place, haa.
