Hi bros, it has been a long, long time since I log in.
Busy making a living. I actually survived as a cabby for one
whole year. Started driving on 23/9/2009. Guess
what? My crown broke down on the anniversary date, kena towed
away - battery flat. What does this signify? Haha, spoke to
it when I collected it the next day "弟弟要乖哦,爸爸需要靠你赚钱喔!"
I drive full time, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Earnings
are almost same every month. Plus the wife's income - living
is like 比上不足,比下有余. Driving one year has given me many insights in
life. Things that I didn't cherish much in the past are
things that I treasure most now. One best example is the time
I get to spend with the family. One year as a cabby has also
seen my belly expanding due to the lack of exercise. Why? No
time, got time also spent chatting with 周公.
Though it is not an easy life as a cabby, I am still grateful
that being retrenched at 54, I am still able to make a living
driving. Though I spend long hours on the road, the time
spend with the family becomes something all of us cherish very
much. I have had my share of good/bad pax, once even kena
some Malay chaps running away when reached destination, I am just
glad that I am still in good health, still able to bring home
dough, have a roof over my head and children that are filial.
So to all the bros out there, 登山路虽难,定有路转弯! If you are young
drivers and have better opportunities in other professions, go
ahead and chiong. But if you are stuck in this line like
myself, instead of cursing and swearing, learn to love the
job. Maybe this may make life easier. (Just my own
simple philosophy only)
All the best to all bro cabbies, happy driving and HUAT ah!
