CaB mAD cApErS

A sign from up above shoned upon me and bf yesterday during our dinner outing.

We had both trooped down to Chinatown Maxwell for dinner after his hair cut. After the meal, he wanted to take a cab back home because his leg was aching machiam a nerve twisted or something.

So we walked towards a taxi stand, before we reached the taxi stand, we spotted a lady alighting from an SMRT cab and the BF said something to the effect of: "I am not taking SMRT cab, let's skip this one.'

I was like: -_-III

Anyways, another man rushed up to the empty SMRT cab and hopped into it even before we got near.

We stood at the deserted taxi stand and waited.

Waited. All the cabs which drove past the taxi stands were all on hired. So we waited somemore.

Then an elderly ang moh with his foreign asian counterpart strolled into the taxi stand and stood behind us. We waited. A cab finally drove but alas, the driver wasn't going the way where the bf and I wanted to go BUT was doin the CHIJMES area the angmoh was going.

Major -_-III

The angmoh even guestured his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said to us to something to the effect of: Oops! Sorry, tough luck.

I so wanted to bash him.

Anyway there's more to come.

So after that qian bian ang moh left, we continued to wait. Then another asian couple lingered near the taxi stand and attempted to hijack the next cab that came along. But I think they probably din realised there was just a taxi stand next to them, coz the guy looked up at the stand after he saw my bf frantically flagging for the cab to stop infront of us.

Again, the damn cab was only going to mountbatten direction which we weren't but the couple was.

By then, I was simmering I tell you.

We then proceeded to walk to OG to get into another cab. 5 minutes after we were crossing mid-way along the pedestrain, guess what happened?

A COMFORT EMPTY CAB WHICH WAS NOT GOING TO ANY SPECIFIC LOCATION DROVE UP TO THE TAXI STAND AND PICKED UP A CUSTOMER WHICH ARRIVED AT THE TAXI STAND LESS THAN 5MINS AGO.

I wanted to just evaporate into the air.

More to come.

At OG after an urgent loo trip the bf had to make, we realised to our dismay the intial 3 empty cabs infront of the taxi stand had drove off. Leaving only a cab that was going to some specific direction which again we weren't going.

*punches middle finger in the air*

So we went to somewhere near chinatown pt and finally got an empty cab hailed off the road.

So pissed lah. It was sign from up above we should not have taken a cab. Coz the time spent hailing could have gotten us to my home on a bus ride.
