Taxi Taxi

Caught this movie last night and it was $8 well spent. You know recently I've been trying to save up cause I only get a miserable $450+ allowance from NS. So I haven't really watch a movie for a long time, I think the last one was Ah Boys To Men. (okay that wasn't too long back). I really like local productions and I wouldn't miss any one if possible. 

This show really caught my attention especially when Dr Jia Jia is one of the actors. I've been following him for quite a while and he's incredibly talented and now that he's recognized locally, I feel really proud of him. Anyone else thinks he's incredibly talented please Kee Chiew as well!

Okay, back to this show. I totally changed my perspective of taxi drivers after watching this show. I still have this secret little hatred deep down in my heart against them cause some of them drive really dangerously and I've had a really close shave with one. Almost caused me my life back then. 

Many people in Singapore don't want to be classified as low class citizens and hold jobs like hawkers, taxi drivers, cleaners etc. Without these people, Singapore wouldn't survive at all. Many of the taxi drivers actually earn more than what diploma holders are earning even without a diploma. 

After this show, I have my new found respect for taxi drivers, especially new taxi drivers. I'm sure most of us here wouldn't want to be a taxi driver for life unless you really love driving that much. The least we can do for them is to give them the basic respect they deserve. Don't criticize them when you think they took a longer route just to earn your money. Don't litter in the taxis. Don't stress the taxi drivers because you are late.

I'm guilty of all those pointers above. But from today onwards, I'm going to have a new found tolerance for taxi drivers. Lets all appreciate the hard work that taxi drivers have put in to contribute to the Singapore's transport system. (Afterall, they are the ones who you turn to if the MRT breaks down again)
