I would rather walk

Most of you would already know this but for the benefit of those who don't, I'll let you in on a little weakness of mine. I have a serious case of motion sickness. I cannot take anything with 4 wheels and which runs on petrol. And a bus ride from Singapore to Malaysia will induce the regurgitation of yesterday's dinner. Yes, it is that bad.

I can't think of any other reason to take the bus other than it saving time. Think about it. Firstly, you have to pay for the ride. Alright maybe the journey is not too expensive but why would you want to spend the money if the distance to be covered is very attainable? Secondly, it pollutes the air. I'm sure you would have to agree with this. Third, it frustrates the mind to wait for a bus that never comes (or 30 minutes later). This is good for patience training and anger management but bad in every aspect otherwise. And the list goes on.

Driving a car is worst. Not only does it pollutes the air, it makes one's blood boil when trapped a traffic jam. You will have to constantly look out for road signs and tune in to the radio station for road blocks. There is a limit as to how fast you can go, and you can't make a U-turn as and when you want. And when you finally reach your destination, there a problem about the parking as well.

Walking resolves everything. AND it is also a good form of exercise!
