Tales sitting on the taxi:
Its pretty AMAZING to sit on a cab and listen to the stories the old but wise and sometimes gossipy man has to say...... In fact, I'm pretty interested in compiling a collection of interesting rides on the cab.
Ride No.1 :
This happened on my way from Pasir Ris to Parkway..... I hopped on to a TRANSTAXI cab (the red one) and was listening about the news reports on the radio. Hearing all those homeless souls made me give out a sigh which sparked off an interesting conversation with the taxi driver. He seemed pretty sympathetic to the victims of the tsunamis and keep telling me how poor thing these victims were.... Then he when on to talk about the relief aid sent over. He was pretty sceptical about how much of help we sent would actually reach the victims due to the fact that the corrupted officals would have probably kept a certain amounts for their personal use. To him, he seemed to condemn the Western countries, clearly complaining about how silent the countries kept and how little help they gave to the affected countries of the earthquake. Furthermore, he claimed that " BIG BROTHERS" of the west always liked to sit and reap the benefits while we asians slogged hard......... The whole conversation went on and on sounds pretty boring rite??? Well.... Maybe i Ain't a good narator....
Ride No.2:
This happened when i took a cab from Parkway back home... By now you guys must be thinking wat the F?!?!?! How come I so rich rite??? Anyway I hopped on a comfort cab.... The driver started talking out of the blue from the moment I got on the cab... He was complaining wat a bad day he was having, with all the lousy passengers he had been getting. He was telling me about the chinese nationals he had picked up accused him of going a huge round when the truth was that it was a one way street.... Then he went on to condemn those chinese nationals... I then went on to talk about my lousy day to him which ended up in him talking about the government.... According to him, the government keeps cheatin us of our money... For example, the recent Singapore Idol targeted the young and unknowing youths who voted furiously for their favourite idols.. According to him, from it alone the government earned several million dollars from it.... Next, he talked about how "CHIOW" the government was during the elections stating a clear example of the booking of election headquarters or speaker corners during the election times..... Apparently, he had fetched Ch**m See T**g's fellow people before and he was saying that during the elections they had to book speakers corners. So it happened that this fella was first in the queue wanted this particular spot. But it was booked which made no sense coz it was the first day and he was first in queue so how could it have been booked?!?! He went on to inquire who had booked the spot which was needless to say lah.......... Then he went on to talk about interests which he clearly CONDEMNED......
