The Uncle of a Taxi
All taxi-driving uncles should learn how to communicateeee and pleaseee their customers. Those who agree, pls breathe. See? Everybody agrees with me!
A cabby uncle accidentally dissed me a-little with his O-so-MANY-comments about ME.
When i first got up the cab, he asked me why do i have to tell him my destination before i get up the taxi. Is it because he is worried that he refuse to bring me to where i want to go? My reply to this dumb-ass question was: " YA LOR. Some taxis will reject me one." (i forgot to add that it usually happens in Jay Bee where taxi uncles are king and the customers are like telly tubbies). He added that, he NEVER refuse his customers. You think i believe? Tell him drive me to jay bee see he want or not. Anyway, i was only being polite.
So i told him i wanna hit off the road and go to NUS. Here comes another dumb-ass question. He asked me whether im a lecturer or a student. Tell me whether its a compliment or not when i was wearing a 3/4 jeans and a spag top. So doh. How can i be a lecturer when i was dressed like that? WTH. Anyway, i replied very kindly and said: " NO LAH, uncle, im only a YOUNG student leh. I look so old like a lecturer meh? " What next you ask? That cabby uncle said: " AI YO. You look too matured mah to be a student".
I was flaming already. Serious. Early morning come and tell me i dont look like a student and that im as matured looking as a lecturer. WTH. You know how OLD lecturer look? Nevermind with his nonsense. Im a person with high EQ. Tsk.
Followed on to the "i look too old to be a student", he asked me: " huh? Student can wear like this to go u-ni-ver-sity one meh? Can wear slippers ar?". Hello uncle, just a minute ago, u thought i was a lecturer. You think lecturer can wear slipper to teach meh? doh. Kind soul me enlightened him on students in university - not only can wear slippers, but also can wear shorts to school. He went: " hur hur hur hur. can MEH? "
nevermind...
Yet another dumbo-comment spitted out from his trying-t0-be-friendly-but-failed-miserably-mouth. Uncle said: " Are you taiwanese? You have the look of a taiwanese" ME: "WTHhhhhh". Me look like taiwnese? Argh? Noticing my a bit-dissed and WTH look, he added on saying: " Really leh, i think you look like a taiwanese...just the look lah". I very nice, i replied: " Thanks HOR uncle, i really not taiwanese leh." (Well, its really not such a bad thing that i look like a taiwanese, afterall, S.H.E, Jolin Tsai and Cindi Wang are all cute-sie pie taiwanese. What bothered me was because i think this uncle is rather chee kor pek and the " You really look like taiwanese" makes me look/feel/sound like some taiwanese soft porn star...grrr.) Whatever he say lor, my EQ still high.
Any-the-ways, we had some casual talk later on but he just couldnt stop adding fuel to an already overheated full tank. He started advising me to do honours when i told him im not planning to do so. WTH. Seriously, of all people, why must a taxi cabby uncle tell me to do honours? He was 'advising' me on the current job market in sin-ga-pore, saying graduates without honours earn nearly as low as 2K per month. Murrrrhhhh. WTH.
Not enough.
When he reach NUS, he said " Ai YO. This campus ar, compared to NTU, NO FIGHT ar, NTU so big." WTH.
"WAH. You stay hostel ar? Your father mother never scold you ar? how much ar? So expensive ar?" WTH
Uncle, i know taxi drivers are usually very nice conversationalists, but you are just not one of them.
AI YAH. EARLY MORNING MEET SUCH TAXI DRIVER. KXN CXXO CXI BXI.

today, i accidentally clamped a lizard under the lid of a dustbin when i flung the lid down after throwing my fish-ball packet. The lizard screamed albeit with no sound cause he couldnt stop his mouth from closing. I thought he was going to die cause he did make an effort to hiss some sound. I freed him in the end despite my hatred for lizards. Im kind.
