Why still got people drive on Sunday?
-
Sunday should spend quality time with your family and kids. You dun get that kind of private car rental price on sunday than a taxi rental price. Even private car rental also jack up their rental price by 1.5 times for weekend, they also know how to make money, imagine taxi fares no surcharge>>??

Frankly, I never know taxi driving need so much thinking. I remember when I first started 3 years ago as a weekend relief I thought its only driving from 1 point to another. One smart alex came on board tell you the destination next moment make hell lots of noise just because we didn't go by his/her regular route.
Ended up with a lot of sarcastic remarks like unscrupulous just wanted to make extra by using a longer way (oh my foot over 20/40 cents) This people just have a way to be brought up. We are not their worm of their brain how the hell do we know they wanted their regular route.
I'm wondering how do taxi companies react to such complaint. Can the driver be making a lot going another route? Is this overcharging as the driver took a longer way as pax claimed. Damned it.
dun worry, lta's coffee is at least $20. anything less than that, only company will call & ask about the case. worst is a verbal warning.
many years back i have a case of challenging pax to complain against me. it was the pax who started saying "i want to complain to your company". i only remind her to "remember" to file the complaint. blue company called me & ask about the case and in the end didn't even come back to me & the case is close. best is when my hirer return vehicle, they even called me and ask whether i want to take over the cab. so i assume i am not blacklisted with the blue company.
after that incident, i always believe that whichever company you drive for will not penalise you if you are not at fault.
i dun believe that "customer is always right", i believe in "REASONABLE customer is always right"

My last ICT many yrs ago i went back , the active driver is bound for uni , go inside the ops room see Corporal argue with LTA, voice louder than officer coz they use logic to counter.
that time will come but definitely not during ours
army pull rank one. logic where got use? your lta must be a sissy officer.
when i am active time, inside my signal store, lta guai lan with me (pull rank), I made him write 7 copies of statements for 1206. actually i needed only 3. it's all guanxi（关系） in army. even regular platoon sergeant have to buy coffee for us, he think i scare of him?
in hq platoon, storeman is only under encik who in turn report to oc. the rest of the company have to give face one cos we can make things difficult for them when they return store. btw, i am a good man, i dun anyhow hantum people one. i respect those who respects me.

Taxis co dun blacklist a cabby because of just complaints, complaints is not a charge against us, with the nos of old cabs sunbathing in the sun with insurance paid rot in the car park at the expense of the company write off debt, they blacklist you for what?? It is only accidents disparity and other serious offences that involve the public and govt body, then they kick you out. In fact taxis company seldom blacklist Cabbies, it is cabblies who blacklisted them more

Can you guarantee a good trip / one that you like to go at suntec ?
Or would you rather shout tampines, tampines at the bell boy or if you more hiong can shout air pot, air pot !!!
It's a personal choice. Don't say $2.20, $20 also don't mind. Just buay song with CDG's MBS policy. u might say argue with my wallet, so be it. to me, it's a matter of principle, not money.

dunno if 1982-1984 the camp inside Kranji ?knn if missed the feeder bus , siao liao ......
Road march inside , think 40minutes walk .
If you people do not where is our camp , it's current Kranji Camp near Yew Tee MRT .
Before Yew Tee was developed , was plantations + kampongs .
Only one road leading into Kranji Camp .
Just imagine the woodlands road current caltex station near Stagmont Ring Road , u walk past Yew Mei Condo , CCK North 6 , then Yew Tee MRT , CCK st 61 .... that sort of distance to our camp .
Hmm don't remember if there was any street lightings ?
3rd Guards ? Fuck lar mai kung liao ....
One word during my time : Shiong !!!
Mine CO was the only CO with 3 crabs , Colonel .
The rest just Major for 1st Guards and 2nd Guards .
He so on the ball , he targetted Best Battalion Unit of Singapore for year 1989 ( was already there ) , during 1991 , they got it !!! The last time was 1981 when 3rd Guards got it .
Proof ?
Was really tough to be men from 3rd Guards that year ..... GSI so on the ball sian .
GSI stands for General Staff Inspection .
One of those good memories in the army .
Yeah because of tough schedule like that , that kind of attiude migrated into my daily life . Then into taxi driving .
-
Soon after Colonel Lim got that best combat unit that year , he was promoted to Bridgade Commander of 7SIB .
That's my army story for today .

As u all know , i was the MT Line Detail Clerk , although small driver's cum detail clerk , officers also must give face , cos my appointment is big shot . My job represents Sergeant's order .Inside parade square , CO give way to RSM one .
RSM got the say , CO stand aside .
Same in Store , storeman rules man .
Same in MT Line , MT Sergeant rules .
