...this is the nature of human, you ask any men on the street who married for 20 years and above about their wife, they will tell you, hear the her voice only, sian liao. If that guy said no, I still like her voice or her character…then his cannon must be damn big
Marriage and job have similarities. Get sick of it but still LL tolerate.
Had a good chat with a td throughout the journey yest. He even printed out his fares collection to show me. Hope he dun mind i only give $1.85 tip.

Then why you still give tip since he so haolian? I always tell pax sibeh jialat. Got Uber got Grab, earnings down by a lot a lot, which is true. Cannot survive. Old liao dunno how to do other job except drive taxi.

Actually he is not haolian lah. But sometimes being too helpful can backfire.
I commonly hear tds saying they actually don't need the income. Just to past time. I still naive to believe.
Maybe some really don't need the income, but why go tell all his pax? It is those who think they are rich will try to hao lian because they have an inferiority complex.
The quiet quiet uncle driving you in his taxi and very humble could well be a very rich man.
Security guards at condos always tell me. The worst residents at condos are those new HDB upgraders. They think they have arrived, behave arrogantly, look down on the guards and demand this, demand that as if their money is very big.

Ya. Those really super rich are usually quiet and humble. Those act Atas makes the most noise.
Not all lah...The official super rich ones everybody know like those bankers and property tycoons. There are ppl even richer than them whom nobody knows until recently like the Nippon Paint tycoon, who is Singapore's richest man now...or maybe..
