all you need is a touch of INTEGRITY.

some people obviously don't have that.
cabbed yesterday, but i obviously had an arse for a driver.
i got on the cab BEFORE 5pm alrights?
and the meter thingy shows that.

but NO!
the god-damn driver was like "oh no...it was after 5."
come on. if there was a surcharge the meter would have shown.
it did not.
then he pointed to that small little 1 at the side of the meter.
but that thingy is ALWAYS, i repeat, ALWAYS there.

when there is a surcharge the meter will have the $1.00 sign.
i am NOT dumb.
i take the cab almost every fucking day.
i take the cab wherever i need to go.

and if there's a surcharge after the ride when you press some button thingy it will show the total amount.

and it shows $7.40. NOT $8.40.

dick.

and he still had the cheek to go "i don't know..see..."

what is there to see?!

the meter says screams no surcharge!

gave it to him in the end.

only because i take pity on you creep!

and arguing with you will only take me down to your level.

what a creep.
trying to rip me off.
i mean, i don't mind giving you that pathetic dollar.
friends and all other people can prove that i am not a cheepo.
i am not stingy and all.

if you are that hard-up for money i can give it to you.
all you have to do is ask.
i am a very generous person.

but that creep had to lie and cheat.
it's sooo embarrassing to know that there are such people in our country.
they should be sent to exile.
to siberia or something where they can freeze and share body heat with some other losers from history.
they are not just embarrassments to the country.
they are embarrassments to the entire human race.

what if that person in the cab wasn't me?
what if it was some other tourist?
what would they think of us then?
they wouldn't just think of that driver as a cheat,
they think of us singaporeans as a whole!
worse still if that person was some influential journalist going undercover to discover singapore.
that jerk would have just spoilt our reputation as singaporeans as a whole!

what an arse.
the black creep sheep of the country.
and it's not only him!
there are other's out there who are spoiling the reputation of singapore.
they're making us look like china.
and most people know my take on them.

and F.Y.I, most foreigners,
especially those westerners, already think singapore is part of china.
whenever i go on holiday, people ask where i'm from.
so i tell them.
and this is a response from an english guy during my trip to london;
"singapore? that's like in china right? wow! i never knew people there can speak such good english."
and i had to correct him.
in fact, i correct just about anybody who thinks singapore is a backward country.
just because majority of the population is chinese does NOT mean we're like china,
of even worse, part of them.
i would credit that guy's comment to his ignorance,
but never would i forget his comment.

ewwww. i would never want to be part of china,
or be one of them.
yes, i am chinese, BUT not a typical one.

people don't wait to see everyone in the country to pass on a judgement.
they pass the judgement base on the few rotten apples they see.
everyone does that.
the same goes for me.
how i see the people in china.
they are not all that bad,
it's just that few rotten apples who spoilt the barrel!

the same thing goes for SAC.
that person who stole my wallet.
if you needed money, all you have to do is ask.
i will gladly lend give you all that i had that day.
just ask. you didn't have to steal my entire wallet.
i have stuff in there which i love and you probably threw away after you stole that wallet.

all you had to do was ask.
like i said, i am a very generous person.
now i take no interest in my wallet because of you.
(and partly because i don't like my new one)
and my green APPLE card was in there!
what a bitch.

SAC already has a very bad reputation.
we don't need anyone to make it even worse.
we're a canossian school for crying out loud!
we don't do such stuff!
we have holy molely statues everywhere!
can't you see them when you steal?
even if you don't see them, or choose not to see them,
can't you feel their presence?

embarrasing. how embarrasing.
our own fellow countrymen acting like that.
if that's the case who are we to bitch and comment about those in other country?
sad, sad, sad. how very sad.

i'm not saying that i'm perfect,
but at least i don't cheat like that.
boo those people.



singapore is becoming like china and bangkok.
people move forwards, but we're moving otherwise.
