On one taxi trip I learnt the following


1) Just off the roads leading to Orchard road..everyday, there would be a lady who holds a picture of Hong Mei(the chinese national who was a victim in the brutal murder) sitting there..facing the China ambassy and praying. Sometimes she'd be joined by another guy.


2) The US ambassy is next to the British and Australian Ambassy, and both the British and Australian ambassy are combined together.

3) Just next to the Botanic Gardens, the multi-storey carpark and food centre are being built.

4) Starhub prepaid cards cost $18 bucks. It will auto deduct $0.59 everyday on top of your usage, even without using it..it still deducts.

5) If you did not top up your prepaid card for 3 months, the line will be terminated, and its supposedly the cheapest prepaid card around.

6) The lemon sweet(wrapped in golden paper where you'd have to peel off whenever you eat one) is good for digestion. Eating 2 after dinner is very good for your digestive system.

7) NTU held their lantern festival on campus on 23rd Sept (Fri).

8) the cab driver has a prepaid card and a fixed line. His bills total to 100+ bucks every month.

There are more..but i really can't be bothered to listen.

I kept saying, "ehm. ah.", as the driver yakked along the whole 25 mins trip.


I listened to him talk about the different North East line station names to be built in the future, the very rich man from Thailand..supposedly he's very famous (I can't rem the name), how Singapore has limited entertainment places to go, the lifestyle in Spore, Government, the muder case that happened at The Bukit batok Nature park years ago where the case is still unsolved and finally when he reached my door step, he talked bout my neighbour's dog(while I was digging for the cab fare he was still talking).

Poor uncle, maybe he doesn't have many people talking to him, so he just wanna talk.

He mentioned he like to talk, yea..so its really true. hehehe.

These are the things I remembered, the rest I can't remember what he said.

He'd start each sentence with,"EH! 小妹啊！"

ehehe. Yes, its kind of amazing how he managed to talk bout so many things..and its not a touch and go topic for some.

He talked the moment I got on ...all the way till I alighted.

This is my most memorable cab ride.
