I tried both routes (the one you suggested and the Jalan Kayu->TPE route)
The Jalan Kayu one is definitely more expensive as you enter TPE much earlier than at Hougang Ave 3 where you can choose to enter Old Tampines road too.
Its rare for Old Tampines road to have jams (personally I have never encounter any before). But one point to note is the Kovan area always jam in the morning so maybe the TD was imply that area.
Another route you can consider is Hougang Ave 9->Sengkang New Town->TPE. Smooth traffic flow and cost about the same as the Old Tampines Road
that's the problem, I'm not well verse with the roads. I can only rely on following bus routes.
all these while, I avoid staying up late so that I don't wake up late. I don't trust cabbies anymore.

are you out of your mind? If I know the roads name, I won't be taking taxi.
I already guided that tmd cabbie but he just didn't want to follow my instructions - he keep claiming that cannot, there jam. Didn't you read what I wrote?
