I added : " If work really hard , $3000+ can also la , depending how many hours on the road ."
He replied : " Tee ah , u batu , honest answers ."
He continued : " I once took a Merc Cab , that Merc Cab told me he earn $10,000 a month , really Sentosa Fort that canon also not so big ! "

But to Tao Kang $10,000 at this kind of economic circumstances , half past six situation , not realistic la .
Last time when Clarke Quay no garmen tat time , ya la , suka suka one trip $30 ...

But this few months really many white elephant mercedes rounding in hdb estates, market areas, even shopping centres outside from the town.
Think it's difficult under this current situation, those days hardly see them.
