it's all about movement

I learn another important lesson today when I was taking driving license here in South Miami. you'll be penalized if u're stopping too long at a junction to take ur time or be overtaken n honked if u're being slow to be extra careful on d road. yes! here, people care d most about time. b aggressive as u can be as long as u keep moving n making progress. u'll miss the train if u're slow. "every single second here is money", dat's wat my Hispanic driving instructor told me. "there are almost 1.2 million Cubans in South Florida n these people drink a lot of coffee with a lot of sugar to boost their energy. therefore, they r way too hyper n less-disciplined" he added. lol. he admitted it himself. the word 'courtesy' was long erased in people's dictionary. people neither wait for u nor give way to u. dat's how they do it here so, bring it on!

I guess it's d same in my place too in which we have 'tongkat ali' coffee (Eurycoma longifolia or also known as Malaysia's home-grown Viagra) n 'kopi jantan' (direct translation: male coffee) for energy booster. n dat wat makes our drivers similar.
