Using Handphone when Driving: A Norm?

Do you use the horn of your car? Normally in what circumstances you use the horn? I find myself using the horn more frequently compared to many years ago when I started driving. In the driving lessons that I have attended, horn is used to alert others especially when they are possible of accidents causes by blind spot, or maybe to give ways for emergency.

However, the reason I need to use horn more frequently now is to alert other drivers to drive the car and not to use the phone. This is annoying especially during the morning traffic jam. Cars are already moving slow and sometime at standstill. The moment if the traffic moves again, we should be moving too so that all the cars behind and got stuck and move on and reach our destination.

Some people are so smart that they want to utilise their time efficiently, and start using their phone during the traffic jam. When the traffic starts moving, they are still using the phone and will not realise that the car in the front has gone off far ahead. This leave all the car behind wondering why the traffic is so extremely bad on that day. Thanks to these people, we actually wasting more time that being smart and efficient.

Also, people who use the phone while driving will inconsistently brakes the car causing unnecessary tense to the car behind and in worse scenario, it may cause accident. Some even let the steering to steer to left and right, just not going straight. At the end, others become the victim of these reckless drivers. Some of them got mad when we horn them for their mistakes....make no sense!!!

So, what can we do? I really don't know because people like this don't care and will not bother about safety of others. This is our social behaviour now and it is becoming a norm. I can simply say that this is another impact of 'smartphone' for not so 'smart' people! 

Think Out of the Box?

So far, you must have at least heard of someone telling you to 'think out of the box'! I do agree that we need to find new ways of doing things better or in a unique way. Thinking out of the box indeed is a good way to achieve that. However, you can do so provided you have something in your box; or perhaps filled your own box first.

What is the point if you do not even have anything in the box, or couldn't think within a box to look at things from the fundamentals or basics. You can think big, do different things and look for your 'blue ocean'; but what are the foundations to get you started? Do you have a map or a compass before you sail out to look for the blue ocean? and of course, you need to know how to swim first before you go to explore the blue ocean...

Hence, if you cannot even work within the box and do simple things...going out of the box might be disasters....

Hello Pak Cik, can't you see where is the box for you to park your 'big' car???

3 Things We Should Not Do During Water Shortage Period

This month, households in Klang Valley will be facing a very tough challenge- water supply shortage. Despite of Syabas efforts to divide the affected areas into zones for water supply interruption (2 days off and on rotation system), it will not be sufficient if the households do not take steps to reduce the water consumption (saving water).

Setting priority of water consumption becomes critical. A few activities that I feel we can avoid during these dry period:

1. Car wash - it can be horrible and not look on you if your car is dirty, but that helps to save lots of water.

2. Washing blankets or carpets - lots of water are needed to wash these...maybe just hang on for another month.

Son, can you see that Klang Valley is facing water shortage problem? Please go educate the people to be more responsible in water consumption! If not, Earth will end up like our home....

3. Do not let children to play with water at home - this is the worst thing to happen, even when there is no water shortage problem, it should be allowed!!!
