I think the 2 Kim Keats were connected before they build the PIE. Same for Havelock Road and also Lor Chuan.

bro mecabby,

these prcs always take the front seat becoz dat's d way it is in China,
it's their habit, nothing to worry about.
bro, u and these prc mei2 seem 2 be beri 'wu yen' hor..........

bro yellow submarine,

tho u r new to this trade, u very often get pax going to places with beri unfamiliar names.
it's not a bad thing tho, this way u learn more and faster. in no time, u will know
more of these places than a lot of the lao chiao liao......
all u need to do is to log all these into ur memory bank.....
Good luck and drive safe......
