This morning, we drove across the border to attend a special ride in support of children with special abilities. 7 of us packed into a car and endured both countries' immigration checkpoints. On a Saturday; still a working day for some commerce, the start of a weekend for Singapore and the end of a weekend for Malaysia; we bore the worst brunt of traffic congestion!
Going into Singapore, we joined the morning office, rush hour traffic. It took us 1.5 hours to arrive at our destination.
Returning was worse! We queued at lengths at both countries' immigration. The Singaporeans were leaving the Republic for the start of their weekend while the Malaysians were returning home, in preparation of the new work day, a Sunday! We sat in the car for 2.5 hours!!!

It was all well worth the sacrifice as we witnessed the joy and pride of the children as they struggled to keep their balance. Towards the end, they finished the whole 5 km route and were presented with medals and certificate of achievements. Not an easy feat for able persons; made more difficult for those with marked difficulties in gross motor skills.
