Walking hazard
Cj sent me a msg to ask about whether the place I stayed at in Bintan was any good. I stayed at Mayang Sari resort twice. With oh, you-know-who. Cj smsed me and I had this flashback of the room we stayed at. I can't remember the name of the room for the second time. But the first time was Stingray 2. It was a really nice room. Nice resort.
I had this scene of us building sandcastles under the hot sun and playing frisbee on the beach. We watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen there too.
Don't think I'm heading for the place anymore. In fact, I can't even entertain the idea of going on a getaway to any kind of beach resorts anywhere. Too much association.

So, after replying her msg of what I thought of the place, I found myself walking towards a road junction. I was going home from tuition. And I was not giving any thought to the traffic. I saw the cars stop. Stopped. The red man was still not giving way to the green man. But, somehow, I walked on. I mean, the cars stopped, right?
Then, a driver beeped (beeped, because the man didn't honk, he was just trying to get my attention, I guess) at me. I tried to find a reason why he did that. And realised he had the right of way, to right turn into this lane. And he probably would have if it hadn't for me being an obvious obstacle. The turn right sign was still green. I really should have waited for the green man.
Only when I reached the other side of the road, did I realise that I had been a terrible road user. Thoughtless and distracted. I would curse myself if I had been the one behind the wheel. I could blame no one if I found myself lying on the road one day.
haha.
