Sometimes, i enjoy taking the taxi because u never know what kind of driver u'd get. Gentle? Talkative? Vulgar? Knowledgable? Quiet? It's kinda like a pandora's box, where u hope the odds are always in your favor lol.
Just now, this driver (Uncle Koh S C) was filling my knowledge and happy meter to the brim lol! We chatted like old friends or like old uncles at the kopitiam haha.
1. How he preferred to avoid rws and sentosa because of speed cameras etc.
2. His friend working as a lowly-paid ambulance driver but much happier as compared to being a taxi driver in the past.
(And which 'race' seem to be preferred for ambulance drivers) ok im not sure how true is this so don't flame me pls lol.
3. “现在的人太过依赖科技，脑都生锈了！” and also, him questioning his japanese passenger, "How accurate is your traffic jam app. Do you really believe it?" The passenger admitted that glitches often happened lol.
4. How he keeps a healthy lifestyle: Run at least once a week, eat soupy food instead of oily ones (esp late nights), eat moderate amounts of meat, eat the right vegetables that aids digestion. Funny incident where his friend recognised him (“我还是一样啦，只是皮肤皱皱。”) but he failed to recognise the friend because.. “他不是胖，他是肥！我听他的声音才认得出。” HAHAH!
5. How he would before bathing, recall from the first passenger, the things that they said etc. (Uncle Koh said it is to train his mind so that it doesn't degenerate)
6. How he would only get the money i paid via the NETS machine on Tuesday because it's the wkends. And how the rental is collected in cash only.
We still chatted for awhile after i paid haha. In the end, i just said to him, "Thank you! 辛苦你了！good night~ yup, happy new year to you too!"
致那些夜班的工作者：请注意安全，一定要快快乐乐、平平安安地回家去哦～
