Sorry to interupt 916. I really appreciate the patience of
Poolman, FT, Insg, TCL, etc, the Bros of TDs.
I am also a new TD whom has not started any driving. Just
registered with Comfort as relief 2 wks ago. I resigned from civil
service and decided to be a TD!
During this waiting (CBL @ home) period, I read a lot of
this TD forum, bought a
small note book & took down all the useful tips,
info, reasons, guides, prices, advices, warnings, pros & cons,
locations, tel no, comments, lingos, jargons, tactics, etc, in
order to prepare me well before I start my driving. 1 example
was that poolman mentioned the CBD charges started on 17th Dec 07.
such an info may be not impt to others but not for me.
I want to know if you have been driving (be it yr own car or
bike) all these years or not? it will be at great advantage if
you had. It seems like you haven't gone for the TDVL cse?
As for places that you're not sure, eg: St James PS, Zouk, etc,
you can refer to this web site: http://www.onemap.sg/index.html where you can
search for those unfamiliar places. you can also key in
'from xxx to xxx' and the map will show you the route.
Almost like a GPS. This is one of the best online map that I
love to refer to... CBD dotted line is there! Traffic flow arrow is
there to show which way it flows.
I hope you can do some 'research' as well, so that the memories
impinged in your head will be last longer than those spoon fed info
here. My apology if I offended you. Pls dun take it too seriously!
It is just my 2 cents worth.
Remember... hardwork, determination, mental strength, skill of
comms, psy, judgement & analysis are all it takes. (by
