This night shift (Daddy Lim's) is bad. I took so many cab home this month bcos Daddy Lim used the car and our timing just dun match. Most of the time, I didnt manage to hitch a ride home. Otherwise, I will be tempted to share a cab with colleagues bcos they are getting a cab and it will be the fastest way home. Cab fares are horrible. From yard to home, it will cost at least $12 bcos I need to call cab. No taxi uncle in the right mind will drive to Tuas to find passengers mah.
Tonight is one of those nights where there is nobody whom I can hitch a ride from. So a colleague and I shared a cab home. She got a cab almost instantly but I was held up, trying to finish a last email. When we finally walked to teh pick up point, the cab had already left. So we tried to call for other cabs but there were simply no cabs! Serve us right cos we were late for at least 10 mins. ;p Yes, my bad. We then tried the different taxi company, listening to the on-hold music for at least 10mins before we finally got a cab.
We waited anxiously and then the taxi uncle called. Apparently, he a brave taxi uncle. Bcos he is not familiar with Tuas and he has no GPS yet he dares to take up our call lor. Despite us crossing our fingers, he still got lost. We gave him general direction and waited somemore. Then he called again. He was even more lost and we have no idea where he is. He said that he will try somemore. Mins later, he called for the 3rd time. Yes, he was seriously lost and have no idea where he was. -________-" Win liao lor.
We had to call for cab again but managed to get one after about 5 mins. Actually, the lost taxi uncle was quite nice. He was trying to help us radio for a cab after getting lost and even smsed my colleague to apologise lor. At least he makes us feel better having to wait for him. :)
Uncle, pls buy GPS, good for you. Cheap, cheap niah.
