the whining taxi uncle

finally joe had done enough shopping for the day. he wanted to return to his company's condo here where he was putting up.

lts: let's take the bus, joe. it's 5pm now. peak hour....taxi very expensive.
joe: fuck it bob!! take the cab..take the cab...dun worry, i pay!
lts: fine with me, joe....but it's going to kill!

we were actually heading towards the bus stop. but joe thought i was bringing to some taxi stands...hahaha. anyway, a citycab taxi stopped for us. off we were going back to robertson quay where joe was staying.

lts to taxi uncle: er...'cuse me, now how much extra must pay huh?
t u: oh....$3, peak hour now....(pause and the whining started, shit!)...u know hor...actually i not beri like this peak hour charges la...but bo bian u know...the gabamen damn chow kang...do until like that...peak hour is also our very shiong hour....NO ONE WANNA TAKE U KNOW!!
lts: huh? got like that one meh??
t u: abathen!...u think peak hour good for us...NO!!!...damn damn bad. now all passengers go and hide. after peak hour that is from 8pm onwards ...all will come out to take cabs....3 hours we taxi drivers damn damn jialat and siong!!!

joe: bob, can u tell him to stop at hotel galleria?
lts: joe, u staying there?
joe: no....robertson blue..but it was quite remote and i always stop the cab at galleria and walk back from there.
lts: joe! u joking!! when u take a cab, u take right to the doorstep. if not we should ve taken the bus instead!
t u: ya lor...dun worry...i know where...ur singapoo pal is right u know....but hor....singapoo taxi is the cheapest in the world ..u know...and blah..blah..blah...(wow piang!! damn damn whining!!)

i must say, this taxi uncle sure knew his profession well. he took us the real shortest way. the taxi fare was only $4 including the peak charges it totalled up $7.

joe was certainly please cos he didn't need to walk this time from hotel galleria to his condo.
