getting lost in lil' old S'pore

My my...i can now officially declare myself as the road idiot. (read: lu chi). Decided that i really really really had to eat pig trotters for dinner today..and in my humble opinion, balestier serves great pig legs! Haha..really yummy. Anyway, the steaming trotters were enough to entice me to go borrow my mom's car, pick eveleen up at Choa Chu Kang and drive all the way to balestier to meet esther and have dinner there.

Anyhow..we (me and eve) couldn't figure out how to get from CCK to the CTE (anyone?? So i wun make the same mistake twice!!!). All i knew was that i had to get on the CTE so i could exit at Moulmein so I could get at my pig trotters. Yet..me and eve travelled along bukit timah road for quite a while trying to find some way to get to the CTE before ending up at toa payoh (we circled the bedamned central like at least 3 times)..After several long and confusing conversations (plus many wrong turns, U-turns, curses, being horned at, and escaping death by collision several times) with people who were supposed to be able to help..we finally made it back to the PIE..which was still not where we wanted to be. Anyhow..after burning petrol like crazy..we finally discovered that to get to Balestier via the PIE is possible

*ting! Revelation!*

You just need to exit at Upper Serangoon Road (via the PIE), which will easily (and most straightforwardly too, if i may add) bring you to the CTE where you'll be able to exit at Moulmien.

There.

So simple.

Now why couldn't anyone have just told me that? Hai.
