Another thing I'm quite pissed about. I've always been joking about how taxi driver's face changed when they heard, 'uncle, bedok north ave 4'. Yes, my office's at Tampines and I live in Bedok. It takes only less than 10 mins for me to get home and including midnight charge it hardly hits $8. So that would mean there's no incentive for them to take me home as compared to my colleagues who lives in Clementi and Jurong East (that's madness to travel all the way here. haha.). And so far i've not really experienced any face changed driver until last night. Yesterday was the first time i stayed really late in the office ever since i started cos it's month end and there's alot of things to clear. I left the office at around 2.30am with 2 other colleagues. So we each took a cab among the many cabs that were queueing there diligently every night waiting for us. My 2 other colleagues took the first 2 while i took the 3rd.
When I got up, 'uncle, bedok north ave 4'. HIS FACE REALLY CHANGED and he started his pattern.
Irritating driver: 'eh, 做么没有去远远啊?
Of cos, given the easily provoked jasmine ESP at a time when I badly wanted to go home and sleep, blood was beginning to boil. I ignored him.
Then he went on, 'eh 前面那两个会去很远吗?
*starting to fume but still keeping quiet*
Irritating driver: 'har? har? 她们会去很远吗?
ARGH! Then I said cos he simply wun stop asking, '不知道!!'
Irritating driver: '你们不是同事meh?为什么会不知道她们住哪里?'
Me: !!!!!!!!!
Him (still didn't stop at that): '你们office还有人吗?'
Me: 有。(in a pek chek tone)
Him: 会多吗?有没有二,三十个?
Me: *super pek chek already* 你要做什么?
Him: 我想要回去排吗。
Me: THEN 就去LOR!!! (pek chek max already)
I just don't understand how come there are people who cannot sense angriness in someone and shut his gap immediately. ARGHHHH.
Then when I gave him directions and he knew I was reaching, HE DELIBERATELY SLOWED DOWN THE CAR!! It's damn obvious la!!!! There's nobody, no cars, and yet there's a significant slow down in his speed when there's about 100m left. Nvm. When i finally reached, you should just see the way he SLOWLY switched on the light, took his own sweet time touch here touch there first den reluctantly stop the meter.
!@#$%^&&*(*&^%$#@ Really very angry leh!!! By,
