CNG is the way to go Zeemax .
Let's go GREEN .
15th August 2009 , Union Gas CNG refill station @ Toh Tuck 100% fully in operation .
They have the lowest CNG price in Singapore $1.21 / kg .
Mandai operates by Smart Energy is $1.32 / kg .
Now it operates only from 8am to 8pm , i guessed it's on trial .
Jurong Island Sembawang Gas suppose to be lowest , but due to security reason , they dun allow taxi to go in .
Funny right ? Spent some money to built up the infrastructure , but don't let people use .
i think zeemax's cab number will be like SHD-9xx .......
coming the the 1k mark for transcab wish .
guys , morning shift fellas , pls guide him thru out his probation period , he need it .
night shift , aln will be his lifeline .... hahahahaha
dun find me at 12am , i'll be busy at mustafa shopping ... see look see look nia , not buy .
Zeemax , just a few advice ...
Just be happy driving for the next few weeks , no stress la .
Eat well , drink well , drive well when at work .
When at home , throw every work related issues away , just relax at home . I relax in a form by surfing net , read those news internationally , go www.camfrog.com see live XXX show , pretty girls from around the world , read soccer news ... just relax .
If u are a relatively good badminton player , u can join me at CCK stadium , pay $6 , enjoy free flow of games with at least 16 of my fella veteran players , age from 30+ to 50+ ... free flow of new shuttlecocks , bring your own bottle , water can be refill at the water cooler supply by SSC . From 1pm to 4pm .
Good to sweat out a bit .
I play on every Tuesday and Thursday .
I used to shower at the stadium , then have some food nearby , and re-start work .
At first can be quite tired , after a few weeks , u'll get use to it .
Playing badminton can make ur stamina in driving better , cos fresh ma .
Just start off like 7.30am for a trial .... then go home at about 12pm , sleep is the best .
Then 4pm , just utilised your full energy for another 7 hours . 11pm go home .
Like what i did a few years back , 7.30 to 12pm , it's for my rental , and diesel night shift then get . ($100 around the mark )
Then 4pm start , each hour $20 enug , 7 hours $140 , yes , ur salary is $140 . Minus $30 diesel , i still got $110 .
Cigarettes $10 , kopi and food and newspaper , like $10 , take home cold hard $90 .
One month $2700 . But no lifestyle .
Work , sleep , wake up , work again style .
then ....
if u had gained more experience , it's good to start 6am , to 8pm .... u strike 2 peak hours , and with some decent life .
Especially if u are married with kids .
U need that .
Cos Zeemax PM me , ask me how , i all of a sudden , dunno how to tell , now i can think of , i post here .
If bachelor life .... it's even less stressful , not commitments , not tied down by anything ... your vehicle became your wife .
If bechelor . always good to start at 1pm ... u start ur rhythm slowly , then got a bit faster & faster around 4pm , then at 8pm , go makan , then burst again , very kang chiong like ALN ....
Drive like no tomorrow like ALN .
Always remember one thing , being an OMO , u must not miss any holiday eve , becos this eve , can generate alot of ur income .
U work hard for one night , u sleep until shiok the next day ( holiday ) , then wake up slowly , start as u wish , work for the rental nia .....
So 1st u must adept to the lifestyle of a night owl .....
Ur body cannot goes asleep at 3am , 3am is the time our body must be in 100% full power . 3am for Eve is the most kaung chiong time .
U can call TeoLK for some wonderful timing advice , he is a very good SMRT OMO . An OMO that work night shift .
When i was an OMO Zeemax , for eve , i take my time start work , i start at 3pm , cos my body short distance one , 14 hours very quick low batt , if can stretch up to 5am , i will , but very tired after that , feels like floating on a sampang .
My LTA instructor ever told us , even a Professor can never be a very good taxi driver , but the basic interest must be there .
But a comfort taxi driver can actually sent 4 of his children all to Univeristy .
Just be happy cruising around Sgp .
Enjoy the beautiful buildings .
Enjoy looking at beautiful Sgp girls while they cross the roads and u are at the traffic light .
Pls enjoy those communications with all paxes , always be nice , if can talk cock , talk a bit , not too much , listen more , talk less .
If pax break those ice talking to you , then u talk , never initiate any .
Can talk anything under the sun ... but i don't encourage you to talk any polictically issues with any paxes ..... especially foreigners , they could be potential investor .
Remember , Sgp needs foreign investments to survive , we mustn't tarnish those possibilties .
if u need any airport infos , can try asking TeoLk for latest airport developements , he's damn good at Airport . Night shifts , ALN is the master : " T3 P&G 2200hr " hahahahahahahah
there's still a farking whole stacks of taxi syllabus for you and me to clear ..... i haven't even finished half of it . Wait another 10 years i write a book .
Also remember , go airport don't be kang chiong ..relax .
1. U must know where's T1 taxi Q start from .... T2 where ? T3 where ??? Spent some time do your own research ....
2.Must know how to follow , ur eyes must open up where the front taxi chiong to near Airport .
3. Must know where to buy coffee at T2 .... T3 also can buy , T1 nothing .
4. Must know where's the toilet for those taxi Q .
5.Must do arrival time homework for Airport , if got PDA even better , on the spot u know .
Go and do some homework , like which flights at which Terminal >????
Terminal 1 , what i know , consists of
1.Qantas ( QA )
2.ValueAir ( VF )
3.JAL ( JL )
4.British Airways ( BA )
5.Garuda Indonesia ( GA )
6.Thai Airways ( TG )
7. China Airlines ( CA )
8.NorthWest Airlines ( NW )
9.Malaysia Airlines ( MH )
Terminal 2 -
1.Singapore Airlines ( SQ )
2.Brunei
3.S Africa ( Sa )
4.ANA ( NH )
There's more , i forgot liao .....
T3 - All SQ .
I am telling you this , cos one fine day , u pick a pax from Jurong West St93 , midnight , asked : " Uncle Airport "
You asked : " Which Terminal ?"
They reply : " HUH , i dunno , going to China Beijing Airport ."
Then how ? They will not take your cab maybe .
U dunno , they dunno , but behind one taxi waiting , someone like ALN , waiting for them to come to his cab , which he knew airport finger tips ?
U lose at least $36 for that trip which u missed .
or if they check air ticket , told you : " Uncle , China Airlines ! "
But China Airlines which terminal huh ?
All must be finger tips one Zeemax .
*Bell ring*
Ok students , remember bring your pen and paper tmr , see ya . Hahahahahah
