ERP Charges cause confusions

I had received a letter of notice regarding Non- payment of ERP charge from LTA.

I will pass through this particular ERP gantry at Havelock Road/CTE exit almost everyday. Normally, i realised that the pricing is around $1.00 to $1.50. To my surprise, i was shock when my IU did not deduct after i had passed through the gantry on 5 May 2008 at 06:05PM. My cashcard was $1.95 at that moment. I was unaware that the pricing after 6PM is $2.00 until i received the letter of notice.

Presently, with so many ERP gantries, different timing with different charges, it will cause misleading and confusions to drivers. I believe we as a driver, already have more than enough stress to pay attention and to keep a look out on the roads.

Tourist making fun of trishaw rider

I was passing by along the street at Chinatown and happen to overheard a trishaw rider trying to catch a deal with a group of European girls tourist.

These was the conversations between the trishaw rider and the 3 European girls ( tourist )

Rider : "Hi, where you girls wanna go ? I can take you anywhere. "

1 of the girls reply : "Oh, Night Safari. ha ha ha... "

From the look of the trishaw rider, he was upset and remain silent while the tourist girls were walking and laughing away.

Seem like the tourist already knew about the distance between Chinatown and Night Safari, they just wanna tease him. Well.... look like the trishaw rider had a hard time earning a living.
