Trip start : 1813
Trip End : 1825
Distance run : 9.7km
Meter fare : 8.40
Holiday : 1.00
Total : 9.40

After sending a pax to Coasta Rhu , at the end of Tanjong Rhu rd, i exit the area, got a pax flag at singapore swimming club, it was quite a muscular man about 50 years old, he crossed the road to take my taxi. He speaks english and appears to be slightly drunk. He say go tampines ave 5, the mosque there. Asked go by which way, he say ECP. Along the ECP, i asked go by which exit....he say Bedok rd....i would exit xilin ave but he say he will direct me after exiting bedok rd. After exiting bedok rd.....

Me : Where do u want me to turn?
Pax : Go straight.....
Me : Ok.
Pax : I say tampines ave 5, the mosque there, why u turn into bedok?
Me : You asked me to turn into bedok.
Pax : No, i never say!
Me : You did!
Pax : Tell you go tampines, u go long/wrong way....i wont pay i tell u, u go lor u go lor.
Pax : I am not going to pay, u go police station lor...
Me : Ok, I'll drop u at the next bus stop.

I dropped him at a bus stop along upper east coast rd, he left and SLAMMED my door with all his might....I wondered if I have done the right thing.....leaving the poor guy there...Although i did considered to go police station, but dont want to waste too much time. I even thought of sending the guy back home not worrying about the fare but i hate ppl who twisted words, and cannot tolerate his behaviour. My mood was quite affected after that trip........drove to Expo to take a little break while waiting in the queue.....to calm down......

Today i'm quite sad and angry to learn that a taxi uncle being robbed by a young CHINA man,this is our so-called the "foreign talents", they come here do evil things and they rob our taxi drivers,and this poor taxi uncle still fighting for his life in ICU.

I wonder is this "ANIMAL/DEVIL" showing his knife to rob has spare some thoughts for this taxi uncle family waiting for his home or did himself have a family? 天理何在 ?

taxiuncle · Senior Guru

the robber was caught right?

Sunday night about 10pm , got a call booking to go Woodleigh park, 2nd exit off Braddell road....pressed 10min and start heading there, GPS directed me to woodleight park off upper serangoon road.....i realised its a dead end and some waterworks building, the barrier wont open....so U-turn out and headed towards braddell road.....set GPS to find woodleigh park again but directed me back to the one at upper serangoon rd......saw woodleigh park at braddell road , but didnt enter.....10mins up , and i landed on upper serangoon road again, called my pax, and apologise, he asked me where am i.....and tell me its stated 2nd exit off braddell road.....I thought of giving up but looks like he is waiting for me, he seems to be understanding that its hard to find....entered woodleigh park off braddell road but the numbers are over 50+, not the one i am looking for.....then head out again, and saw another exit off braddell road.....finally found the place.....took 20mins.....apologised to pax.....

Woodleigh park got 3 ways to enter....off Upper serangoon rd, 2 off braddell road.

Around 2am, got flagged by ang moh after Shell Petrol kiosk along guillemard road, but ang moh did not get in, the china girl got in. Sexily dressed silky and shiny miniskirt...speaks fluent english and chinese. She got in and say Tanglin Shi Liu Lou(16th floor)???? I said huh?
Then she speak english and say commonwealth crescent. Along the journey, she called her friend....

The one sided conversation as follows -
Hi Cheryl, how did yours go?
So fast finish?
Did he eat you?
Haha, you cheap prostitue!
Selarang they all spoil market, normally 2hrs they do it for 6hrs.
....etc...
English very good.....

Question:
Anyone know wat is Tanglin Shi Liu Lou(16th floor) or mean?

moshimoshi · Veteran Guru

Tanglin Shi Liu Lou(16th floor) means the estate surrounding Commonwealth Drive,
Commonwealth Crescent and Commonwealth Close. It was so called because long ago
we did not have so many tall buildings in Singapore. So, when they built some 16-storey
tall buildings in that estate, people started to call it Tanglin Chup Luk lau -
Tanglin 16-storeys.

Actually should be Tanglin Halt 16 storey and opposite the estate is Tanglin Halt 10 storey. biggrin
