Yaking...
There was an indian guy holding a A4 size laminated card and a A5 license card with his barang barang at suntec basement. I was on my way back yesterday and he stopped my path. I slowed down my steps while listening to him and eventually stop when he claimed that he is an ex-convict trying to earn some commission by selling the keychains and neckbands. The sentence "2nd chances" rushed to my head. Yea, they deserve a 2nd chance. I tried to stop him but he still managed to soften me. And yes, i bought the keychain that i may not use it anytime at $10. Be it a scam or not, i tried my best to help. Skip 3 lunches and i will get back my $10 :)I went to take a cab home. This is the most unenjoyable cab ride that i nearly tell the uncle to let me alight just after i got up the cab. I told the uncle the address that i want to go. I am not very sure the exact street name (thou i mentioned the correct address), so when the uncle asked me is it at XXX there, i told him yes, is about there.
He replied:That is Ave, not Street.
I:is it? im not very sure on the road sign.
He: It is Ave la. You dont know still keep saying Street. It is Ave. I stayed around there too.
I: Then is Ave loh. I said i am not very sure what.
He: Not very sure u still say Street? There is no then. It is Ave.
I was totally pissed! And he kept yakking away, telling me about the nice food around there, acting as if he knows alot. -.- The best thing is he missed the expressway exit and got to Defu lane -.- He was malu and panic looking for road signs to return. Thou i know the route, but he drove to small road that was pretty dangerous. I massage hus to call me for awhile. He immediately called and i started acting. lol! Telling him that im coming home soon, my location and how long i will reach home incase anything goes wrong. Hus sensed something wrong, he listened to me and ask me to sms him. Hus called the second time, our conversation made the uncle panic more. lol... In the end, uncle under-charged me for the cab fare. It was pissed but funny journey! hahhaha! I have to say that sometimes I tried my very best to ignore him during the journey than pick a fight, knowing that it is not easy to earn in this industry. But some uncles just like to test his passengers limit. -.-
Lastly, I just called Citibank to reinstate my credit card that they have mistakenly cancelled away. I refused to reapply again and lut told me they can do it (in the most troublesome and longest way). So i made them do it! hahahaa! They are investigating now :)
