Pick up 2 ang mo pax from harbour front. Hop on tell me wanna go rendevous. Knn i heard wanna go Mandai Zoo. and i still confirm with them mandai zoo huh then they keep quiet. then halfway on cte they ask are u bring us to my place rendevous hotel then i know where they going. knn rendevous pronouns as mandai zoo sia. In the end i rebate them 5bucks. lol think of it i laugh till peng..
Rendevous is pronouned as Ran-The-Voo Hotel .
So can't blame you .
Mandai Zoo , Ran-The-Voo .....
Got one old kaki face Velocity (Novena Sq) and VivoCity .
i ever took some pax to West Coast Road , when they actually wanna go Race Course Road .
next time if in doubt, ask them to spell it out. there can be no dispute after that.
or how about using nearby landmark as well to confirm.
One afternoon, i pick up an English Speaking Ah Pek in Yishun Ring road.
Boarded my taxi and said " SGi". I said where is that - never heard off.....
Repeated "SGi"....again and blame me that i don't know......
But then i answer in hokkien "Ti Toh Loh".
He said "C-Pai-Por".......I LOL and said ......."C-Pai-Por" Chai Ya Liao......
His "SGi" meaning Singapore General Hospital Eye Centre.
Knn....He scold me and laugh and said how come i so young and i know "C-Pai-Por" and many young taxi driver doesn't know about this terminology.....
Then I show him my bundle of "Grey Hair" and told him i grew up in Pai Kia infested area......and that's why i know "Ah tah mah ki, cha chun tow, ong kay swa ka, Kong Chio, Ow payoh, blah blah blah
That day damn shiok connection.......Jurong to Yishun....Ah pek yishun to SGH....and keep on connecting...
Give lin peh , i'll say : " Si Pai Poh kong Si Pai Poh la , si mit SGi ?"
hahahaha
Also when pax said : " Pan Pacific Hotel ."

if say velocity most likely foreigner. locals almost all will say novena sq. kena few times velocity, japanese, koreans and ang moh, tourists/dependents mostly. working ones know to say novena sq. rather than velocity.
