After I alight 3 ladies it’s about 3am and probably neighborhood have no more customer, so I proceed to go by AYE MCE to Mbs.
I thought it will be a long queue over there but to my surprise there was only 1 taxi over there outside casino. The Cisco police wasn’t there anymore so we can park outside the main road to wait for customer.
1 lady walk out of the casino, went to the 1st taxi but the taxi is dosnt want to pick her therefore the lady walk toward my taxi, my window was 1/4 wind down, so she say to me in a Chinese ascent.
PRC lady: uncle, 我给你$50送我到jurong west ave 1.
Taxi driver: pause for 3 sec, I thought she was kidding, but I accept her offer. I calculate from mbs to jurong is not going to exceed $30, at least still got extra $20 to cover back empty taxi to town area, not too bad right?
Probably why she will offer this is because I believe she have experience that no taxi driver want to take her home and she is winning today that why propose $50. 5 min later she tell me that she don’t have small change left all $1000 notes and left $40 so I say it’s okay $40 will do.
if u tend to go for extra miles for ppl they will appreciate you as return you will get tips by them, but this wasn’t happen all day, but daily a few dollar tips is confirm will receive by customer.
I call it a day that night it’s was about 4.30am and I have to drive from jurong west to my house.
Time flies and it’s Monday, normally ppl having monday blue on Monday so as me, as usual after my office job I need to rush back my house to collect taxi. That day was a hungry night so I decided to take my dinner before I drive.
Taken ayam peynet and a canof root beer, finish my dinner and took my cig out to smoke before I start my engine. " Cranking cranking " engine running, time to earn extra $$$.
That night wasn’t a bad night, but it become quiet after midnight. Someone flag my taxi and his going to pasir ris mrt, I turn in to pasir ris mrt taxi stand, there was no taxi queuing over there, so I alight the customer and I wait over there for 5 min.
At about 12.20am, one big man run from mrt toward my taxi direction machiam I got free gift in my taxi, he open my door and say ….
Taiwan man: uncle, please send me to pasir ris street 71.
Taxi driver: okay, I personally like long trip then short trip
Though.
Taiwan man: uncle later u wait for me at my house downstair, I want to take my barang barang and I’m flying back to taiwan.
Taxi driver: okay, so you return Taiwan and not coming back anymore?
Taiwan man: yeah my wife just give birth and she is taking care of the baby, I don’t think he can cope, since Taiwan market is not bad now so I decided to go back Taiwan work + see my baby. Not a bad husband right?
Taxi driver: good, u are a nice husband, your wife need you.
Taiwan man: uncle can u wait for me downstair, I pass you some $$$ just incase.
Taxi driver: no worries it’s ok, I can wait here, you take your time pack your thing.
Taiwan man: thanks
After he get up, I come out of my taxi to excerise abit, take out my cig and light. Time flies and its about 20min.
some dragging sound and I know it’s will be him, I turn my head and saw 3 big luggages, one backpack and few shirt, this man must be gone for good.
So immediately I open my boot and walk toward him, carry his bag, take his luggage, I help him load up everything and off we go to changi airport.
During the journey I wish him all the best in Taiwan and take good care of his wife and baby, he seem to be moved and appreciate my kind intention
T1 departure arrive, I stop the taxi meter it’s was about $20, he pass me $50 and tell me, you can return me $20, which mean he are giving $10 tip to me. Ho Ho ho never did I expect that, helping and talking to him didn’t expect to take tips, as a professional taxi driver it’s my duty to do so. Giving helping hands and go extra customer dosnt lose me anything.
I help him unload his stuff and put ontop of the trolley after that I went over to shake his hand and say take care bro, see you again in Singapore if we have fate!
Time is close to 1am and I need to knock off, later need wake up at 6am to work. Proceed to drive home!!!!
To be continue on the pityful lady after my dinner.
it’s time to chiong again, it’s Tuesday and business as usual until I come accoss a lady at amk.
One lady flag my taxi at amk ave 10, I stop and pick her up, she’s going woodland. Proceed with lentor then SLE, suddenly this lady ask me a funny question in hokkien.
Lady: uncle do you have any children?
Taxi driver: hmm nope, not yet marry, why?
Lady: oh I have a popular voucher, thought if you have children I can use it to pay taxi fare.
Taxi driver: ???
Lady: My apology to you I didn’t tell u in the 1st place when boarding your taxi, I try to borrow $20 from my friends but they didn’t lent it to me, I left $14 + $10 popular voucher, can I use popular voucher to pay u?
Taxi driver: but I don’t use at all.
Lady: $10 is for tomorrow my kid to buy food. Sorry uncle.
Taxi: okay. In my head thinking
After I reach woodland, drop her outside main road near her block and taxi meter fare was $12++, when I turn back and look at her, she hold her 2 hand with 2 pcs of $2 and a $10 voucher, I pause for 5 sec and think, singapore living cost is high, Thought I’m not rich but since is Singaporean, we should help each other, so I told her I will collect $4 cash and the voucher you can keep it for your kid, buy some stuff from them.
She look at me after I told her about it, her reaction is full of sadness and appreciation. Before she alight the taxi and say thank you + sorry again to me, I told her it’s okay, not a issue.
After that i drove off, I was still ponding about it, instead of collecting $4 from her I should have pass her $20 for her to buy something for her kid.
I regret I didn’t do that, if I do that probably her kid will have better food for tomorrow.
If is within my help, I will help as much as possible, Guilty about it till now.
After that I drove for another 2 hr before I call it a day.
Next story will be 4 drunk teenagers flag me at geylang, one drunk Chinese teen attempt to kiss me and nearly cause an accident.
To be continue

Indian teen don’t worry we will take good care of ourself.
After that I call it a day and rush back home to return taxi.
Next story - I received 10 point for been a helpful cabby from company spotted by someone.
Next story - cb transcab taxi uncle.
Next story - ang moh accidentally mistake $100 as $10.
Merry Christmas guys.
Let’s start with the cb transcab taxi driver.
I have bad experience with this company taxi, they are damn arrogant and ofcause its minority of them.
I was picking up my customer at ngee ann city taxi stand, orchard road is damn congested, she mention she dislike jam, so I decided to go by small road as agree by the pretty lady customer.
It’s was drizzling that night and road is complete wet, While reaching upon Newton circus round about, there was a transcab taxi Infront of me, he can’t decide whether to turn or go staight, signal right after that was trying to go straight. So I high beam twice just to tell him to make his decision whether to turn or straight, he decided to go straight
After I high beam him.
Next moment when he exit the round about, he E brake and stop at lane 2, lucky I was very concentrate when I’m driving, I did a E brake as well, I look Infront there was no car Infront of him, so I have to squeeze my ball and apologize to my customer and tell her that Infront taxi just suddenly E break.
I was pissed this nbcb need some whacking, I cut into 1st lane and stare at him, he didn’t look back and was focusing Infront, but his customer look at me with a stun look probably why the taxi E brake when there is no car Infront.
After 2 sec I decided to cool down because I have passager in my car and her safety is my responsibility. So I just drove off and stay away from him.
It’s was a malay transcab taxi driver, I didn’t have a chance to take down his car plate.
Both are taxi driver which need taxi to earn a living but why he is so cb. From the day this thing happen I will be triple careful with transcab taxi driver.
Waterboi I never say u hor, ur shift and my shift not same so won’t be seeing each other. but some of your colleague really Cmi
To add on: whenever U driving try to signal earlier to let behind car know that you are turning, this can avoid accident.
