But, if during this one year, From 1/1/2005 - 1/1/2006, you committed another offence with demerit points, your very first offence will be extended for another year until 1/1/2007.

Racing ? Raced ? Going to race ? Trying to race ?
For those who havent know, I have a Class 8 License from Singapore Motor Sports Association, which simply meant that I could take my ride and paricipate in roundabout courses in carparks surrounding our National Stadium in Kallang.
Right now, I've never felt like a racer or simply forgotten about the feel of it, until one of my friend asked me how can he get a racing licence.
I told him to wait for my email and here it is,
Dear David,
All drivers on the road have a racing licence but it is only a matter of when the racing licence expires and at what speed the driver intends to go. The government has generously worked out a point system whereby each speeding session usually along expressways comes with points deducted ranging from 8 points to 24 points.
Aprt from that drivers have to pay a sum or participating fee ranging from $170 to $300+ after each session. Those eager to use up all their points for the first time just has to travel at twice the speed limit for a greater thrill.
After the 24 points is deducted, there will be an announcement of your trophy in a chamber, usually in front of a racing expert or Racing God in white hair. It is however a must that you contribute a sum money after the award presentation to show your continued support of this system. For excellent racers, they are usually retired for a year before joining the speeding circuit again. during that year, they will be watching a DVD at home on how they can better improve their racing skills on the road.
So bro, hope I answered your question, on 'how to be a racer legally'. Enjoy your week man..
Regards,
Derek..
Thats all, maybe you guys can judge whether I'm speaking the truth......

What if.....
Friends who known me, or people who think they are my friends, see me in so many different light, there's definately more cons than pros, and seriously I never expected a positive answer from anyone.
What if one day I just disappear and outta other's life, the outcome is nothing, cos I tried it for 2 months and my friends didnt even bother, maybe I am rated as an associate to them
Its time to stop presume how others think and start communicatiing, I realise when you've reach a certain deadline of time, you're just trying to cut short everything, becos u know.
Stop thinking I'm as disconcerned as I seem or how carefree I may be, cos in fact, I'm not...

The Society Today
What in the world are we doing with our lives ?
Rushing for quenes for good food, or rather trying to cut quene whenever possible, inching and inching even though the fucking traffic light is red, unable to take medical leave for simply rest unless you're really sick cos there'll be piles of work waiting for you when you're back. NOt giving way to others at road crossings, trying to compare cars, wife/husband, cars, number of useless gucci bags, size of diamonds, not apologizing when you bumped or scraped past someone, thinking every service staff is your slave cos you're fucking paying.
This world is not even somewhere we can live in, its crazy cos everyone dunno what and WHY they are pursuing in, does screaming to your loved ones every now and then improves your relationship ?
Have you ever held onto a feeling and realised that its not even worth holding onto but you held on becos you wanted to prove a point to others.
Too often, much too often, we stubbornly did things we never had to do.
Anyway random posts just to keep my blog updated..

I'm back, just for you guys from the 80's !!
IF YOU ARE born in the 80's
You would remember:
You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, Silver Hawk and Mickey Mouse, Ninja turtles, Carebears, Robocop, My Little Pony and Smurfs.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time.
You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.
You hated or loved the school nurse (she was either pretty or mean)
You know what SBC stands for.
You paid 40 cents for cartons of Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.
Everyone's wallet used to be the velcro type
It was cool to have pagers in primary school
SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of wood and the cushion were red.
The big red bell gave a loud BEEP! when pressed.
There were still bus tickets and bus conductors would come up to check them.
Envelopes were given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
You've probably read Young Generation magazine.
You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable.
You know what PETS are and the hidden animals in all the text pages.
You hated penmanship.Writing lines and caning hands were common, esp if you failed chinese spelling (caning was actually allowed. no shit).
You were there when they first introduced the MRT here.
You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50.
Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls.
You learn to laugh like The Count in Sesame Street.
You bought tidbits called beebee (20 cents per pack, 10 cents in MGS), and mamee (30 cents), that had a different sticker in it every time.
You carried a lunch box to school but either threw away the food or brought it back home again.
You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven were probably the thickest story books you thought you would ever read. Or the indispensable Bookworm.
KFC used to be a high class restaurant that served food in plates and had metal forks and knives.
The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'chicken pie'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien translation.
Catching and pepsi-cola was the IN thing, and twist was the magic word.
Your English workbooks were made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow.
You came to school 15 mins before the bell every morning just so you could copy someone's homework.
CDIS was your best friend.
The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellized characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you math.
Waterbottles were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you went.
Boys loved to play soccer with small stones or tennis balls in the basketball court.Girls played five stones and boys played with marbles.
Science was fun with the Balsam and the Angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fishes.
Who can forget Ahmad, Bala, Sumei and John, immortalized in our minds from school textbooks.
We conducted experiments of our own to get badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc.
Every Children's day and National day you either got pins or pens with 'Happy Children's Day 1993' or useless plastic files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
You wore BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.
There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (you hated them).Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $2 or more for pocket mone everyday.
You saw Wee Kim Wee's face in the school hall.
Boys liked catching fighting spiders, earthworms or tadpoles.Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
Class monitors and prefects loved to say, "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"You got booked for muddy shoes in class.
There were at least 40 people in one class.You brought every single book to school, even though there was a timetable.
There was a pro-yo/bumblebee, digimon craze at some point in time.
