How long did it take you to get to work today?

Is "<15 minutes" means at most 15 minutes? It took me 5 minutes to reach the office.

Mathematics. < is lesser than.

Normally it takes me less than 5 minutes.... but not today.

normally 15-20 mins but today 1.5 hours partially because of the accidents on SZR and partially because of an errand I had to do.

See, i forgot my math geez... thanks Ian.

Well, that accident really chopped me up this morning.

Wasn't sure if it was a workers bus or a school bus, conflicting reports.

Mmmmmmmm, normal drive to work is approx 70mins, but today, cos I heard of the accident near MOE, i turned off SZR, onto Beach Road and back on to SZR further down.

All in all, 80mins today. Not too bad.

God alone knows what it is going to be like going home tonight. I predict 2hrs 30mins.

I imagine the section where the median strip used to be will be closed off for some time.

haha
I usually walk to work which is like a 15 minutes walk, but my father was passing by my office area so he offered me a ride !! once we got out of the building the traffic was like whooowa. yet I reached there in 10 minutes only!!
I think that my father is becoming a reckless driver
I think I should talk to him about it
