No, I did not manage to get the number of the car. It was like watching a TV-drama unfolding right in front of me, so I guess I was too stunned to react in time. Thanks for the concern!

Did you report to the traffic police ? In fact, I too had a very similar encounter some 3 years ago. The junction was Pasir panjang road and Heng Mui Keng Terrace. The green man was fully-on. I was crossing towards HMKT. After a few steps, I heard a continuous blast of horn from a speeding car. I was startled and back-traced to the start. The car cut-through the red-signal and stopped screaching after a few metres (may be the driver realised I was right and he was wrong). Thanks to my alertness, I lived to tell the tale today. I should have noted the number. But, since I was new to Singapore, I was afraid to do it. Did you note the car number?

Actually I just replaced my existing code with that from the default template. Still not sure what went wrong? Perhaps the change of javascript functions in newer version of MT?

Currently using Wamp which is about 80MB. EasyPHP seems to be smaller but I don't really care for its interface. Have recently discovererd 2 more packages to add to the above list.

  1. Wamp Server

It's based on the idea that your thoughts and emotions dictate how you react to what happens to you and hence no 2 persons are the same. This is a recognised psychological tool, much researched, and is used in depression management, management of addictions and general behavioural management. What you quoted is not just a cliche.

Very long movie but well worth every minute of it! It is very heartening indeed to see that some people are still willing to bring epics such as this to life on the screen because I would imagine it was a huge task in the first place. Great show!
