World Cup and Driving

Dear readers, friends, once again, its the world cup fever, and yes, i do mean world cup fever.

Take a good look around you at work or at school or any public transport during the normal peak hours. This morning, i was amazed by the amount of avaliable parking lots in my office building carpark. Nope, i did not arrived early. I arrived at the time when usually the lots are full, and have to drive around looking for a lot.

I wonder how many people are infected with the world cup fever, and i can imagine the cash registers ringing non stop at clinics world-wide, and the doctors rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of the extra bounus in this period. And i can swear that some doctors are thinking of writing a petition to the FIFA to hold the world cup every year.

World cup fever is back, and it strike with more intensity than H5N1 virus. A total pandamic, and total anarchy, total chaos. World econmony is held at stake as more people call in sick, sleepness set in while at work, rioting by the soccer fans in the streets, and much more which one cannot imagine. The only good business is your local kopitiam, betting centers, pharmacticual, soccer jersey shops and maybe, starhub.

Everyone's talking about world cup. I can hear it in the coffeeshop, as i sit, slurping my ice milo. People in RT are talking about it, as they are warming up for IPPT, i can hear it in the streets, as groups of men, women, boys and girls are discussing the aftermath of the finished match and the tactics of the teams in the coming match, how fat a certain player has become, and individual making calls to their bookers to place bets.

Talking about betting on world cup, one will wonder how much money transactions occured during this fever period. How many will lost their processions, and maybe, the collaspe of their families, How many will make a windfall and sqander it away. Prob billions.

Ah Yes, a side effect of the World cup fever. RTAs (Road Traffic Accident). I encountered 3 RTAs on sunday and 2 on Tuesday. (I did not went to work on Monday, as i am not feeling well, and i swear that it was not due to the pandamic World Cup Fever). I would like to know the relationship between World cup period and the rate of RTA. Could the traffic police release the figures? I am sure ppl would like to know.

All drivers, riders and perdestians out there, PLEASE, be careful of any sleepy driver appearing out of nowhere anywhere beside you. All drivers, please be careful when you are driving, and if you are not in a condition to drive, please be considerate.

Take care peeps, and all the best to all the players in the world cup. FAIR PLAY!

GOAL!!!!!
