Aiyo, I caused traffic!

I guess you can say we are living in the suburbs, not much traffic all day round. Perhaps only early in the morning where all the navy people head into the island to report to work and about 3 to 4 plus, where people are heading home. Else, there isn't much traffic. People are very polite, nothing like Singapore. Better give disclaimer at this point, such is the case in Coronado as we have come to understand.

So how on earth I can cause traffic in such a place. Well, see I am yet tuned to the rhymes of Coronado, so when I cross the road, my mind is still set at crossing road in Raffles Place. Check and check some more, then cross. If not, later get flattened by speedy car coming from nowhere.

So of course, I check and check some more here also lor. Too used to the vehicle wins, unless you think you are made stronger than steel mentality. So what happened, in doing so, I got one SUV, one public bus, behind the latter, some more cars, all stopped waiting for me to cross the road. And me, still blur blur, standing there, waiting for the bus to make its turn. So I waited for them, they waited for me, until I think the driver in the SUV realised I am not understanding, and waved for me to cross lor.

Then I looked back and realised, oh oh, I just caused a built up just outside the junction where our estate is and there never is traffic there, ever, at all. (Thought I could find a photo of the junction, don't have...when I get one, I will post it)

Hahaha.

Nice to know that when I step my foot onto the road, I will not get killed, that I take priority even over public traffic.
