Nineteen

In 1965, Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war. But it wasn't. It was different in many ways. And so were those who did the fighting. In World War II, the average age of a combat soldier was 26. In Vietnam he was 19.

The Fairest Among All Women

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?

She who has a flawless complexion and a sharp nose, of course.

Having a sharp nose among Singaporean Chinese women is an absolute rarity.

Most Singaporean Chinese women have round, flat noses. As do the men.

But among Singaporean Chinese, it's harder to find a girl with sharp nose than it is to find a guy with sharp nose.

Hello my friends, How are you guys doing? Hope all is fine and dainty.

This Too Shall Pass

When will the world end?

To My Son, Shawn Ethan Chua Weijie

Dear Shawn, Papa love you very much okay?

Shawn, don't cry. Papa love you very much okay? Do you know why you do not stay with your own parents like your classmates and friends in school and church? It's all because papa and mummy too lazy to bring you home, when you were a baby, every night after work. It evolved from an arrangement for convenience's sake. That's why it always seems like we have given you up for adoption by your maternal grandparents. But that doesn't mean papa and mummy love you any less, okay? To mummy and me, you have been and always will be our son. To me, you will always be my son. I'm proud of you consistently staying at the top 3 of your class. Well done, son! Keep up the good work! :D Cheers, Your Father

Handphone Jealousy

HTC Peach is considered by some to be better-looking than Galaxy T. But the former is nonetheless jealous of the latter becos the latter is more popular than the former. Ironically, Galaxy T is also jealous of HTC Peach becos Motorola Chocolate thinks HTC Peach is better-looking than Galaxy T.

A Mad Woman

Picked up a crazy woman this morning at Marine Parade. She asked me to drive her to Terminal 1 at 1st but then changed to T2 after realising T2 is nearer. She wanted to go airport to buy radio ;p Asked her which station she listens to she said Gold 90 show. At 1st she asked if she could pay by NETS. But when she reached there she paid cash. Think she was angry becos i underestimated the fare at around $10. Actual fare was $12.95. She got out of the cab & slammed the door very hard. SIAO JAR BOR!!! Too bad not insane & unsound enough to be locked up in IMH. She said ALL the people working in SG now are Filippinos. Singaporeans all not working becos cannot find job. SIAO!!!

Fare Cheats

I have been driving a cab since January 2009 and so far I have encountered 2 fare cheats.

The 1st one was a lady whose credit card could not be processed successfully as it had been maxed out. Then she claimed she would transfer the fare she owed me via internet. The transfer never took place.

Last night i picked up a Mat from Marine Crescent to Bedok North Street 3.

Bugger said he would go upstairs to take the money and give me. He gave me $2 first before he got out of the cab. I waited like a fool for almost 10 minutes and he never appeared again.

Mother-fucking bastard!

I'm okay with giving free rides to people who are genuinely needy.

But i hate being taken for free rides. Cabbies do what they do to make a living to support their family. They are not primarily in the business of giving free rides.

Next time, must ask the fucker for his or her IC before they leave the cab and claim they would return with the fare they owe me.

Better still, when they board the cab, ask them, "You got money to take taxi or not? If you have no money, please walk home! Get the fuck outta my cab NOW!"
