and i had never claim b4! if not my insu will be $7800+!

accident at holiday...

at last... after so long driving on the road driving taxi, i had my first accident last night...

do not want to sat where... but this is what happen...

was on a busy road around 8pm, was on the land next to bus lane... and a car on my right wanted to turn left (turning around 300m) i was side by side was thinking he will slow down so i step on it... as i am not turning... so he can cut behind me...

as i step on and turbo come on (sonata taxi)... then this car was trying to over take me!!! as there is a bus on my left and i so i hit the car side door...

then i come down ask him why... he ask me back "how come your taxi go so fast?" i got to give way to him!!!"

as my taxi nothing,,, only the paint come off... so i tell him to pay $500 to spray back... then he can go repair his own car...

the owner do not want to pay me... as we are talking... there this guy call jimmy (insu guy) park his car infront of us... then start talking to him, at first was thinking is his friend...

then when he come talk to me... then i know he work for lawyer, then tell me he will help me to claim... as my taxi in the lane, and the car in not... so he start to take photo, and tell me i sure win this case...

and asking me got pain or not... i tell him i am ok.. but he want me to go check up...
and so he tell the car owner to report after get his detail... and i tell him my taxi ok... can drive, but jimmy say must tow then report... so i call up comfort to tow, waited 45 min... all the time this jimmy was there to direct traffic...

so after my taxi tow... jimmy take me to a&e... and all the time tell me to say here pain there pain... so i just blur blur follow...

after i got 3 day MC from a&e, he sent me home... the bill pay by jimmy, on the way... he tell me he will claim for me, asking got report cpf... then i told him i report earning only $2000 a mth...

anyway he say he can claim a lot for me... but i still fell not right...
when i ask him do i need to pay him? he say don't need to... as he always on the road look out for accident and help his lawyer to get job... as long as after i receive money be it 10 or 20k, just buy him a drink...

and he say will meet me tomorrow at my house to pass me the photo and bring me to make police report... as 3 day MC must report...

how come got such a nice guy in singapore? and his job is driving around to help people...
will keep update when i got the out come...

give me my money!

ok... this happen last week when i am driving...

i hear some knocking sound when stopping at lights around 2am... then after the customer drop, and i make my way home, still have that sound... so after i reach my home, i check and found a blackberry handphone at the side of the sit near the rear door! and was thinking... another phone! i have pick up at least 10 phone for the last 1 yr... some return to owner, some at the police station...

and was looking at the phone, it vibrate! someone call in... i ans it... was the owner at woodlands condo (2nd last customer)..

me: "hello"
phone owner: "who are you?"
me: "taxi driver"
phone owner: "so my phone with you! i have call so many times! why never ans!"
me: "i just found the phone, it was stuck between the door"
phone owner: "can retuen me?"
me: "i can return to office tomorrow, or jurong police station, which want ok for you?"
phonce owner: "NO NO! i want it now!" "COME BACK HERE NOW!"

i wanted to hang up the phone, since nothing he can do!

me :"it almost 3am, and i am almost home now, can i return tomorow?"
phone owner :"NO! I NEED THE PHONE NOW, I PAY U DBL!"

no choice...
me: "ok i on the meter and was reach about 20-25min"
phone owner: "block x, same place u drop me!"

was at boon lay, by right should take pie-kje-bke, but i go aye-cte-sle!!!
maybe want to make more money (this is bad!)

reach there pass-thru the guard house, and reach the block, no one there... was trying to look for the numbers in the phone to call.... then he come out... i open the windows, and pass his the phone, he say "thanks" and u-turn into the condo!

i was asking for the fare... but he rush into the door... i try to open, but without card i cannot open it!!! can only press the unit number to call someone to open it!

and i look at the meter... show $33+ and nothing i can do... for my evil thinking i get this!!!!
maybe i shouldn't return the phone! sell it can make more $$$!

to make myself happy, i told myself, is only $2+ of fuel... and some little time... forget it...
i make myself home... almost 4am!

ok why i am a taxi driver now?

well, i was tired for all the test, since i work in computer line... i am 38 now...
everyday work to solve all kinds of problem, and after work go class or study for test & exam!
this go on from the day i left poly which was 1988...

so was trying to switch line, and take to my uncle, which was a taxidriver in 70s, and he tell me he work as taxi to earn this landed property... which i tell him now is diff, not so easy, but some how i just go try... take the test pass all in one go...

and start to drive parttime on weekends...

the first day i out on the road, i collected $390, take away fuel & rental i make $308!

so start to take leave to try out other day & times...

and confirm can make money... so i quit my job...

for the first mth full time taxidriving (which was 1 yr back), i keep all receipt, and i make net $5842.80!!! after the fuel & rental! i like driving... (had drove to thailand), and can make $$$m, i am happy!

anyway 5-6k is nothing, i have spoke to driver at the airport, those london or merc cab can earn more then 10k a mth!

money can earn, but taxi still hard work...

so after 6 mth of full time driving... my wife complain! i had no time for her! and i earn so much (highest earning a mth is $6537.20) also no use!

and after full time for 6 mth, now i am a super relief, work only other driver want to go holiday or mc....

everyweek work about 2-3 days, earn ave $3000 a mth...
and the rest of the time i go shopping or walk walk with my wife...

and i love this! kind of slow down for me after so many yrs of works!!!
i have fully pay for my house & car... and i got no kids... so can relax...

Singapore taxi driver!

was reading yesterday's newspaper and saw the

"Probably the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD"

so wanted to start my own

"Probably a taxi driver with a wrx"...
no no wrx is common and who know a taxi driver may buy one... no big deal...

"Probably a taxi driver with many cert in IT "(cne, mcp, ccne, mcse, unix, novell, miceosoft, cisco... a lot more) every yr take a few... but who know some may like me... anyway mine is nothing compare to the phd! still remember when i was a engr, my boss every meeting will ask me when going to take this or that.. (our company need cisco gold pather) and pass me "test-king" to remember before i go test... everyday after work come home got to study it!
