Traffic Light : Instruction or Advise ?

Traffic lights are signaling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossing and other locations to control competing flows of traffics.  They assign the right-of-way to road users by the use of lights in standard colours : Red, Yellow, Green.

Virtually, all jurisdictions in which traffic lights are used, it is NOT necessary an offence for motorist and other road users to disregard the instruction of traffic lights.

Some jurisdictions are very strict in enforcing the rules of traffic light. 

Sometime when a police officer is controlling the traffic, the traffic is jammed even more !

Sometimes we tends to wander if the traffic lights are easing the traffic or worsening it.

Sometimes, when a traffic light fails to function properly/poorly, are we still bound to its instruction ?

Can we, ( the maker of traffic lights ) make more sensible decision than the traffic lights ?

Pedestrians :

· Pedestrians can cross against a Red light, when traffic is clear. Y/N ?

· Pedestrians can cross against a Red light, even when traffic is halted. Y/N ?

Red :

· Turn left ( in the left-driving jurisdictions ) or right ( in the right-driving jurisdictions ), when traffic is clear.  Y/N ?

· Proceed cautiously at pedestrian crossing even if there are no pedestrians. Y/N ?

· Proceed with alert at an intersection when there are no other vehicles from competing lanes ( presently Green-lane ). Y/N ?

· Stop on Red, even if a police officer controlling the traffic. Y/N ?

· Can Ambulance/Police Car/Fire Engine beat a red light. Y/N ?

Yellow :

· Running an Yellow light. Y/N ?

· Stop on Yellow light. Y/N ?

Green :

· BLOCK THE BOX .  A vehicle stubbornly entering an intersection ( even if on a Green light ), but in unable to proceed and gets stranded in the intersection ( as the traffic ahead fails to proceed ), and remains in the intersection after the light turns Red, resulting in blocking other vehicles from other lanes. Y/N ?
· Stop to give way for emergency vehicles. Y/N ?



Who shall make the final call ?
...Traffic lights ?
...Traffic polices ?
...Judges ? or
...our common sense ?

忘记了一首歌 2

有时候想一个人，但是又不知道她叫什么名字，

就好像一首歌 不停地播 但是又不知道歌名一样。

又有时候知道一个人的名字，但是又不知道他想什么，

就好像知道歌名 但不知道如何唱。

发展是什么？

某区补选，记者访问一妇女：“你希望政府带来怎样的发展？”。妇女呆了几秒，一头雾水答说：“。。。就是发展啰”

发展究竟是什么？

发展不是只有老人留在镇里守着老家、闲田。发展是一家能整整齐齐、安居乐业。

发展不是佳节期间，镇里一时车水马龙。发展是百家齐放、兴旺昌盛，即使不是过年大节。

发展不是年年华小闹师荒。发展是大学录取只看成绩。

发展不是矿建住宿学校而学生不学无术。
发展是学子不必离乡背景到外地深造、更不担心毕业后回乡失业。

发展不是拿了几亩地种油棕，多年以后一家几口无奈地守着那几亩地过活。发展是不把稻田建成商场，然后向外国入口白米。

发展不是抽空油田、伐完森林，肥了恶人。
发展是国富民强。

发展不是花了巨款建了大医院，却发了霉！发展不是医院没有医生。

发展不是马路廿年来一样窄、一样弯。
发展不是廉价机场和富都车站一样乱、一样脏。

发展不是到政府部门，还要看脸色、送礼。发展是公务员不当土霸王。

发展不是贪官当道。发展是官者清廉、正义伸张。

发展不是有国才有家。发展是有家才有国。

我的家园何时才发展？

终于明白有多少情侣败给距离

by ♀❤°●ღ му Рεαсε lаиδ ღ ●°❤♂ on Friday, 03 September 2010 at 14:29

1、短信听不到语气，电话看不到表情。
其实我没生气，你当真了；我在笑呢，你看不到吧；我哭了呢，抱着手机哭倦了睡过又醒了，你在忙吗？

2、共同语言 
如果两个人在一起，两个人的交往圈会融为共同的圈子，话题永远都在更新。
而不在一起的两个人，对彼此身边的环境都会因陌生而逐渐失去兴趣，慢慢的，能说的话只有空洞的‘我想你’。
我在努力找话题呢，不要回信说‘哦、嗯、好’了好吗？

3、不安全感
看了10次手机了，你还是没有回信。你在哪、和谁、在干什么？
刚刚拒绝了别人的好意，却禁不住想，你身边的莺莺燕燕，一如我身边的花花草草吗？

4、远水不救近火
我这里下雨了，来送伞的是同学的弟弟；我吃饭忘带钱了，来解围的是朋友的朋友。
原来你不吭声是因为你生病了，可我再担忧，也不能在你身边端一杯水…

5、距离产生幻觉
其实我有些小虚荣，照片有时候修掉了眼袋才给你看；其实你有些小自负，认定了的事情就以为自己一定对。
为了大老远的爱你，我拒绝接受身边一切说你不好的言论，什么都往好的方向想。你也是吧？
其实我们都不是对方想象的那样好……

6、距离产生误会
我兴冲冲地发短信给你讲刚刚的趣事，你隔了半天说‘噢’，我不知道你在忙的嘛，所以我生闷气了。
你给我发了八条短信两个电话我也没回，愤怒得嗷嗷直叫，我在做上课呢，手机调振动了的嘛。
其实我们都知道对方不是故意的，但情绪来了，总需要宣泄的。

7、善意的谎言
我碰巧和相熟的男生去看电影了，想了想，对你说和女生去的。
你独自去了我们约好要一起去的地方，犹豫再三，对我说你哪都没去。
不愿让对方多想，却因为偶尔的疏忽，让对方想得更多。

8、寂寞
一个人不寂寞，想念一个人才寂寞。
你说，来，抱抱。于是我把自己裹在被窝里，闭上眼，恩，抱抱。
一个人站在夜空下时，你会抬头看月亮吗？

9、信念坍塌
我看到身边一对一对的，男生帮女生打开水送饭，在宿舍楼下卿卿我我，周末还能一起爬山，没忍住就对在地图对角线上的你发牢骚，其实是想听你的鼓励，想听听你的安慰，你的一个电话就能让我安心。
可也许刚刚好你接到朋友异地恋分手倾诉的电话，那么容易就把自己带入了戏，无心的抱怨雪上加霜。
有时候折腾一下，只为了证明自己的重要性。
哪知脆弱基础上的高楼只须多压上一根头发的重量，也许就崩溃了。

10、你的真心
人心隔肚皮，更何况我们还隔着千山万水。
男生永远无法理解女生为什么需要浓浓的表达爱意，正如我永远不知道你为何可以那样轻轻的表明心意。

Blowin' in the Wind

Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan and released on his 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of questions about peace, war, and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".

In 1999, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

The first line of the song ("How many roads must a man walk down?") is proposed as the "Ultimate Question", in the science fiction novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It is also likely that this line was an allusion to Big Bill Broonzy's song, "When Will I Get to be Called a Man?"

In the movie Forrest Gump, Jenny sings this song for a show in a strip club, and is introduced as "Bobby Dylan". The film's soundtrack album features Joan Baez's 1976 live recording of the song, from her From Every Stage album. This scene is lampshaded by Internet comedian Noah Antwiler in his review of Final Fantasy X, saying that the main character Tidus is, believe it or not, a man, but similar to how Bob Dylan is played by a woman in the movies.

In1975, the song was included as poetry in a new high school Englis textbook in Sri Lanka. The textbook caused controversy because it replaced Shakespeare's work with Dylan's.

登山

踏上登山之路，始于茅草山。屈指一算，大概是一年前的事了… ….

许多人登山，越登越高、征服了一座又一座，视世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰为极终目标。我就是少了那份野心和大志，来来去去就是那几座小丘。

到了寡妇山两次，只在山脚流览，就是没有兴趣耗钱折磨自己登上东南亚的最高峰。人的耐力、毅力就如此衡量的吗？大地是如此征服的吗？

登山，其实不必那么复杂。什么成就感、山征服了又如何……都跟我扯不上关系。更不来负离子这一套！

简简单单的登山，并不在乎山有多高、或破什么时间记录，而要不慌不忙、走走停停，才能享受登山的乐趣，才不会错过美丽的风景。

古早味 之 姓氏桥 Penang's Clan Jetties

到槟城的姓氏桥，不禁百感交加。浓浓的乡音、熟悉的水上人家、海风的味道，仿佛回到儿时阿嘛的家。

姓氏橋位于檳城渡輪碼頭不遠處，是華人抵達檳城最早的聚落。

房屋都搭蓋在海上，底部用桩柱支撐，並用木板鋪設成橋樑作為村里的街道，是馬來西亞一處典型的水上人家聚落。

早期，聚落的住戶都按姓氏區分勢力範圍各自組成社區幫會，因此而形成今日的姓林桥、姓周桥、姓陈桥、姓李桥、姓杨桥、杂姓桥及平安桥。当中以姓周桥规模最大，水上人家约60户。姓王桥已人去桥空，遗址已变成停车场。

村民的祖籍以福建同安县居多，老一辈村民则一般以捕鱼为生。

雖說是早年的移民落腳站，今日仍有許多人居住在那兒。
