I never got in touch with those friends during employed time and school friends .
One of mine colleague in Pertama Wisma Atria (during mid 90's) , saw him driving a CDG Merc last few years ago , now still driving , the new Merc .
Those good friends most are taxi related .
So not much to say when i saw them .
A few schoolmate were my neighbours a few blocks away from me , one even saw me and ask loans from me .
I loan him $300 and he never return the loan .
I am well off than him i think working as a cabby .
He is working in a KTV as waiter @ BIrd Park ...... waiter or taxi driver better ?
His pay $1600 ....... i think i made the right choice .

25 kena R.
35 kena R.
45 kena R find job too late already, nobody wants you.
Best start early on semi self employment.
Then again my pay only 2k, so do TD earn more.
7 years to slog. Then follow friends semi retire outside sgp. Long run in sgp not likely a winning proposition.
Good thing bout being educated bum, pax don't cross sword unnecessarily with you knowing you can F back.
Local indian p/u @ Mandarin Orch @ 8pm on CNY 1 to lornie hill can claim no CBD. Tell her read the taxi pricing list, end of story.
Ah Tiong p/u @ M Orch again @ 9pm on Thu to Conrad then MBS say no call cab. Refer taxi pricing list, end of story.
Ah pek td get bullied by these bums, not us 30 somethings. Want to chiong we can chiong with you.

the way i see it in my job:
Gross $5k job, about 12-14h daily (5.5 days).
$420 in medical/dental per yr, 14 days MC/yr (and must visit doc to produce MC and if too many days taken, subjected to poor performance grading)
after cpf, left $4k
after car installment, petrol and other taxes and insurance, left $2.5k
fantastic job security, but mind may not take it.
Really nothing fantastic.

I never reply her .
You want to know why?
Because she fears for your safety on the road. You maybe a very good driver but can you say the same with other punks on the road? (Ferrari case is good example)

Midnight and weekends can see soccer on TV , Tuesday and Thursday can play badminton if i want , and my job not affected , income still got , it's more or less only .
No need take leave , no need see boss face to take leave , explainations .
Eat snakes also nobody chap siao .
Yes, you are right that TD is probably the best job for you. But have you ever thought about your family? Is it the best for your wife, kids. parents?
We cannot only think about ourselves and neglecting our love ones. No ?

Actually, my situation is interesting. My family were happy that I started driving taxi. I am retired and was living in Vietnam wt my new wife. But then 8 months ago, my ex-wife father got health problems. Came back to Singapore to look after him, wanted to buy a car but was $140-150k. So just used my ex-wife car to take her father around. I didn't want to go back in the oil and gas industry cause I want total freedom in my time. Was boring in Singapore so went to casino to burn time. Had lost 40 times of Poolman's debt. My new wife wanted me to bar myself from casino before I got my enbloc money from one of my condos. After driving for 5 months, I quite enjoy driving. But I drive 7.30-10.30am then go home and come out at 4.30-5pm and drive to 10-10.30pm. Like that got car to use and freedom of time. Met lots of interesting people. Dun earn much but at least happy. Best option is to drive as relief, can cover costs in 3 hours but only get to use car for 12 hrs. I respect those that drive to feed family since I experience how tiring driving taxi can be. Now I visit Ship once or twice a week to enjoy my hobby and make a little more income.
bro try to cut down ongambling or best if totally stop
or if u knoe how to limit urself also gd
