i dunno whether to consider myself fortunate or not...
i always get into taxis and haf conversations with them..
all of them like to yak wit me..
do i look too frenly? or am i so chatty?

while on my way home to get my cd today, i got into a cab and was a lil pissed at first cozzz i ask the driver whether the route that we are takin ( old tampines rd) will be crowded and possibly jammed...
He juzzz gave me a direct, "I dunnoe" heck care attitude...i was like..."Oh ASS! WAD AN IDIOT DRIVER~" but after like 2 mins, he started chatting to me and i was...ok..
so yup, we chatted and he asked me bout wad course i'm doin and whether it was my first choice and he was also tellin me that my decision was right, not to get into hospitality dat design was better and he shared quite alot of design ideas with me...he told me bout stuff that are needed to improve and how i should approach it and so on, so forth...realli enjoyed it tho..

den i got home, got my stuff and hailed another cab to get back to skool to complete my stuff.i was super exhausted and was realli ready to sit on the comfy seat of the cab and sleep but...yup, i was lucky enuff to get a damn enthu driver..he was nicer then the first one..he bombard me wit alot of history stuff bout cars...i was really amazed and interested in it and we chatted about -- Honda cars, Toyota cars, ford cars and even the Wright brothers...
I am really fortunate to haf met taxi-drivers like dat...
So far, while in temasek poly and after countless taxi-hailing sessions, i've learnt alot..there were taxi drivers who:

-ask me why was temasek so power and why i nv choose nyp
-teach me to appreciate hokkien songs (taiwan ones)
-told me about aeroplanes which is better and cheaper to fly with
-the economy
-life as a taxi driver
-how to get an attachment, where to get one fast...
and many many more..

one of them even brought me to fetch her son after his driving test..
yup..i noe, it sounds weird and absurb but it is really true..
no lying!

alright...shall go to bed soon...super exhausted..
now i know...every taxi hailing session is a priceless lesson learnt..i dun waste S$10 for nothin~ i learn something! :)
