why does it matter?

here i am in the office with kc, waiting for seven o'clock where we can go home. HOME! i am so depressed from tiredness and sleepy-ness. imagine coming to work at 10am today coz i just couldn't wake up on time.

i want to complain about taxi companies = taxi drivers + the telephone operators. hubby and i were literally stranded with a long queue of people queuing for taxi at the Centrepoint Shopping Centre yesterday night around 9.20pm. All the people were trying their luck on calling the taxi booking lines. We tried and all the lines were busy. what the fuck? even merc cab booking lines were busy.

so i gave up standing and sat on the stairs and counted numbers of empty taxi that refused to stop at taxi stand. there were like 25 within 4 traffic lights interval. plus not to forget, china men standing at the other end, cutting queue and practically jumping into empty taxi on calls (which weren't theirs) and which hurrah to the taxi drivers, kena chased out.

i wondered why this mess happened. i was thinking of the worst scenerio. what if i was in labour - in great pain and there was no taxi around to take me to the hospital? Do they expect me to take bus or walk?

Alas, after waiting for more than 30 minutes, two taxi appeared. the first one wanted to go to Pasir Ris. I told him i wanted to go Tampines. He shook his head upon seeing me tired, crumpled and pregnant. So no heart one this taxi driver. Reason - want to change shift. Bastard. Isn't Pasir Ris and Tampines damn near?!

The 2nd taxi was harrassed by the China Men. I practically stared at them. Damn you. I was prepared to fight with them if they were to steal my taxi. Heck care! Simply no shame. Go queue lar! If i can, why can't you?!

But the taxi driver was clever. He took us instead since he also wanted to go home to Tampines. *shook head* he not only clever but scary too. he drove while talking on the phone and was telling us on his friend who took his money and he didn't even bother to wear seat belt upon seeing the police car parked at the highway. how funny was that!

Who Who Who can i complain to regarding this? Why Why taxi likes to be booked and make people who line up suffer? Why Why the booking lines are forever busy? Maybe I should write it to SDA or PAP?

hahaha.... ok lah time to book out!
