I don't know if this really funny or not, but both pax and me
laughed.
Picked up 2 pax along Palmer Rd, early December, just beside M
hotel. A young guy and a older lady. Look local, so thought they
just finish work at M hotel maybe colleagues.
Pax: .... North. (The first word can't hear clearly, cos door
still open when he said)
Me: Bedok North?
Pax: ah, yah.
So i drive, go Nicoll Highway, PIE, exit Bedok North. All the
while pax talking. Don't want to interrupt them so i drive slowly
along Bedok North waiting for them tell me where to turn.
Then nearing Bedok Police Station, they stop talking a while. I
ask the guy.
Me: Which block you going to?
Pax: We going Golden North? (English not so good)
Me: (Thinking where the hell Golden North sia!)
Me: Golden Mile ah?
Pax: Ya, ya, Golden Mile..
Me: Why never say when i go in highway, that i'm going wrong
place? (Still thinking they local)
Pax: We don't know, just come Singapore today. We from Penang
ah...
Me: Golden Mile very near your Hotel.. Hahah
Pax: (Both also laughing) Yah the Bell boy also say nearby. See
how come u drive like so far.
Me: Cos i heard i thought say Bedok North.
So drive back to Golden Mile, end trip fare $29+ picked them up
just before midnight around 1145pm, so plus $3 City Surcharge, 25%
surcharge and also a bit midnight surcharge.
Told pax $25, only ah, since we went big round, actually thought
want to give lesser but mouth say $25. Pax gave $30 ask me keep
change.
