Your willingness to learn even while queueing is commendable. :) -
When i was a young driver , how do i learn ?
When no pax , while cruising , my hand on steering , my heart on the road , my head thinking where should i go , and my eyes are on those building and road name .
My eyes will connect it to my head and like what JLKL say "drill it" in .
It works all the time .
Not neccessary must have pax then can learn . No pax also can learn .

Say i am at Bukit Batok West Ave 5 .
I would explore why they set West Ave 5 against East Ave 5 .
I will go and explore and ask myself "why are they doing that ?"
There must be a reason why they did it , and how they did it .
Then i exploited it and realized , West Ave 5 and East Ave 5 , are divided by a MRT track !!!!
-
Many blur at Bulit Batok West and Bukit Batok East .
I not only exploit Bukit Batok West 5 and East Ave 5 .
I went in further .
And i realized West Mall is the Central of Bukit Batok .
And from the MRT track between Gombak and Bukit Batok , it's divided by East and West of Bukit Batok .
Dun believe ? go and look at the map .

i'm gonna face the same problem when i start driving, which gps are you using?
I am using the Garmin 2465.At first very cumbersome, but after some practice, can get location in under 30 secs. unless key wrongly. Put it in a place where you can rest your wrist while keying.
I realised that using the "3D" display, I learn Nothing. Now I am using the "NORTH UP"

WOW, you guys are commendable.
No Pax, the brain starts to learn.
When I no Pax, my brain thinking.. "Priest la, next Pax give me easy route, like flying on the expressway"
My Brain also thinking.. this place so deserted, where got pax ah?
I only do my Route Review when I sitting in front of my computer at home. No distraction.
Maybe you guys are young (below 45, considered young), that's why brain can multi-task.

Yesterday got one pretty young lady, long hair, slim built, nice.
Alamak, she sit in front seat.
Means I got to concentrate on driving, cannot peek peek on the rear view mirror.
-
Got a bad cough since yesterday. Maybe today take a break from ferrying pax, 'cause not nice to cough with all the windows wind up.
Also got tuition at 11am. See how first, if better in the afternoon, will OTR after 3pm.
CNG run out, my Wish now on steriods (Petrol). Last nite hoping Pax goes West but hopeless. If pump at Serangoon, so sayang. On Steriods lagi sayang. Probably will pump at Serangoon when I start the car since I live near Serangoon North.

Yesterday, got one old shirvelled Indian woman. No offense, but look like beggar, but she nice lady. She shy shy flag my cab.
She dont speak good english, gave me a paper with a handphone number and "Boone lay" on it.
She says want to go Mandai, Bakar. Luckily my course instructor joked about this name, so I know where it is. (Newbies, can you guesss where is this place)
When reach there, she does not want to get down until I confirm with outsiders that it is the correct place.
I kinda happy that I ferried her instead of someone else ferrying her.
Note: later I realised that the handphone number and the name is the contact for her to get to her destination, but the phone cannot get thru'. I think it was on silence..
-
And I want to apologise to Newbies.
Not feeling well during last 2 days, all my routes, never take note. So got no Route to report.
Yesterday drove 9 hours. See whether I can consistently drive 12 hours. My next target, 12 hours.

Take care StriveOn. Always remember health comes 1st in taxi driving. -
remember to disinfect the interior often...
if u wash at petrol kiosk... add a dollar ask the staff to "dettol" the inside...
if washing yourself... pm jackpotlok on how he do it...
tis will minimize you being infected by virus from paxs...

Thanks Khoon, for reminding me.I put some Budget disinfectant in a spray bottle, and add water to it (1 to 15 parts), then I spray and wipe off. I hope will not discolor the interior.
Budget is cheaper than Jeypine or the real Dettol.

After reading the other thread on Serangoon raising CNG prices, I peng san already.
Some more chief show picture of haning up his shoes and Red jersey.
My Role Model wants to throw Red Key !!???!
Maybe he talk, talk only. Hopefully he talk, talk only.
I think in the meantime, I do a few days of studying Petrol Consumption, using the Shell 16 % discount card.
