COE price is so ridiculous now

Can't beleive it, in such a short period of time, COE price jump more than double.
I have to think ( twice * twice * twice ) before changing my car now :(

Ridiculous ... well , will it raise further ???

First ERP and more ERPsss , now COE and more COE$$$ :( Not happy laio
I suppose, we cannot do anything. And for those that can do something about it, will say it's market driven or to ease traffic lor... Who ask you want to buy car ...
I thought someone before implementing ERP say it is to offset the price of owning a car? (or.. maybe I remember wrongly... anyway noting can be done)

Without a car, I need to spend at least 3 hours daily just to go to work and return home lor. Anyone hear me !!!

8 hours working + 1 hour lunch + 1 hour OT (we work more than that) + 3 hour travelling => 13 hours.
With 8 hours sleep, so leave 5 hours.
OK still need time for other little things like breakfast, dinner, ....
What life style are we talking here? Family time?

What a stressful life ....
