Hey boog, sad to say, you are absolutely right. The only consolation to that is that I go to work early in the morning and it's a smooth 15mins on the freeway. More importantly, I do make trips to Malaysia up north and there, I'll be able to really test out the engine with less worries.
Anyway judging from what you say, you have probably visited Singapore sometime back. The changes is scary even for a local like me. You would probably be as amazed with the new Gardens by the Bay and Resort World Sentosa (with all the Michelin restaurants)
