Hi all, newbie here.
abit of background info about me
- got my TDL in 2010
- worked in IT line for 14 years, quit last Sept
- eldest daughter taking PSLE this yr, monitored her grades last
year and decided to put in some time to help out at home. (got 2
hands and 2 legs, no scared cannot find work
later....hahahaha......)
Wanna thank this forum for all the sharing of experiences and
helpful info and the hirers who let me drive relief based on my
unusual timings.
Observation:-
Cab drivers are like tailors in the fabric of society. They help to
safely stitch one part of people's lives to another part seamlessly
such that they can carry on with their lives. All these happen
without any pomp and pageantry as it's just pegged as "public
transport".
In my six months of driving, I've experienced the entire gamut of
emotions from the people who board my cab,
> rowdy twenty-somethings who scream at each other about affairs
of the heart after a night out drinking even though they were all
sitting at the back seat
> proud parents who shared with me the finer points of bringing
up our kids
> frustrated tourist who shouted "You are not Singaporean ah!
Don't know where is St Regis Hotel !?!" (he still thanked me when I
said "have a nice day" after we reached)
> a quiet petite old lady who just follows her filipino helper
who met up with her pals for a chit chat session. This lady looked
at me while alighting and I couldn't help but notice the
helplessness in her eyes
I've stopped driving for now as the exams are drawing near.
Thanks...........
