Daddy was driving me to work and over the radio, the deejays were announcing some road closure because the President of the U.S.A was leaving Singapore.
We were 2 times lucky because the first time he came to Singapore, we were at Orchard Road and we also caught a flighting sight of his entourage. This time, we were on the Express Way and on the roads at the opposite side, there were hardly any cars and then, Police motorbikes came, followed by many WRXs and finally, the black cars! It was like a scene from the movies!
It must have felt truly grand and majestic to have part of the Express Way closed off so that President George W Bush could pass.
We did not have our camera with us so I used my phone to take this shot. Not very well taken because we were in a moving car and the view was not exactly good. Will upload it at a later time.
After the entourage had passed, we saw the "aftermath" of his presence. The jam he indirectly created was terrible! Police had to hold up the traffic so that he could travel to the airport safely and although it was only for several minutes, cars were jammed bumper to bumper. We were thankful we were on the other direction! Can't imagine how late these people would be for work today. Hmm, can they really tell their bosses, "Oh, I was held up by the President."
