Still remember when I start driving Taxi time,
One day pick up an old aunty with her Myanmar maid from Bk Timah
want to go “Hong Law Yoh” ! (风炉窑),
I Only can smile at her : Aunty, Sorry ! I Dun know where
is 风炉窑。
She look at me :
Ah Tee Pls help,
You are the 5th Taxi that I stop, my friend is dying, I am rushing
to see her last face.
No choice and call my 舅舅 Aku: 舅舅,那里是“Hong Law Yoh” !
(风炉窑)!
哎哟,“Hong Law Yoh”
! (风炉窑)就是 St Michael 啦!
So, as a Singapore Taxi Driver,
It's good to know some of the old road name that those old folk
use.
