Read on one of Khoon's blog ...
One mistake , one wrong pax , one taiko TD ...chui chui ?
Every now and then , i realized he made one mistake , and end up whole night demoralised haiz haiz kio ? Not the right way of thinking leh ....
Evening time wrong pax ? Common leh .
Realized Khoon does not like sticking inside CBD when he need to .
I also realized Khoon does not like to invest $2 to get $6.50 , dunno why ?
Understand $3 ERP is a lot .... so do something else lor , just 30 minutes of $3 ERP .
I also realized Khoon's mind always set on Airport at all times .( see the way he responded LV call to AP , i know .)
Once he missed his mind on AP , then he anyhow sweep .
Without interview , and try his luck and end up going to wrong places ( most likely )
If i made a mistake , like going to Hougang during peak hour , i dun Q what Hougang Mall , what Compass Point , what Punggol Plaza , a waste of my time .
I dash down to where i made the mistake !!!
So that mistake episode is cleared , no more mistake , back in business .
Just how many km used ? 30km to come down town ? How long it takes to come down town ? 1 hours okay bo ?
Still worth it .

When time to get the fuck out of town , i will .
What time ? well , different driver different way of driving .
I've got a certain routine and formula .
Sending pax AP is common for taxi drivers .... but that doesn't mean i must Q at Airport . One reason was AP trip do not allow me to control my trip. Woodland die die also must go .
Anyway my trips from AP T3 never disappoint me , reason was A380 the pax most likely quality paxes . Unlike T1 , those cheap skate airlines like China Eastern Airlines , etc etc ..... one reason i do not want to go T1 .
I'll get out of AP , somewhere else that allows me to gain control of my trips .
Pax go where i want to go , not where they wanna go .
if anywhere also i can go , i will Q for that $3 AP surcharge .

Drive taxis , everytime we step onto the accelerator , on the steerings , there must be a fire inside you , it's you that keep the fire burning inside you . It's the fire that drove you on each day !!!
It's also you that can kill the fire burning .
What keep the fire inside you burning ?
It's all in the mind !!! Heart is the evil ...... Heart suggest something , the mind decide things .
A stronger mindset makes a better driver .
A confident player wins the game .
Over Confident means arrogance .
-
I am blessed with my heart and mind works splendidly , both synchronised nicely between them .
Both know what best for me .
