Hi all bros, was reading all your posts here and just have to write something to give support to Ty. What struck me was Azera37 Ty's case. I was in the same situation he is right now. Was declared a bankrupt in 2004 was 44 then, and driven as relief with comfort for 2 years plus. It was tough going as relief driver for the nite shift, everynite thinking whether can make enough to cover cost and what was left to bring home. I think you bros are very correct to say "Be Happy and take it easy". Most frustrating is everynite you can hear your frens saying by 12am they already make 150++ some time even more and why i cannot? It's the inner self that is giving us problem to achieve that goal. I was troubled, disturbed, disappointed with myself for being in this situation. Could not take it as before business owner now a bankrupt. Lucky after two years plus driving cab, managed to get a job and was sent oversea. Frankly couldn't find any job SG with my age now. We're considered "expired". Ty believe in yourself do not give up, like what our bros' say be happy don't put pressure on yourself, you will only frustrate yourself and things will go wrong. I was involved in 2 accidents during my time in this cab line and my mind would wonder off to some where thinking of history. It really will affect your nite's mood and believe it or not i think our bros agree. Once you start off with a grouchy, grumble look and day it will become a bad day. All cab driver says there is this "Taxi Chye Sin" in your cab when you're happy and luck will always be with you. BTW i am and still am a bankrupt now, it's 5 years since.
Ty bros all for the advice . Its really heart warming when we barely knw each other.....ty really frm my heart.
com'on guys , me also fricking almost same situation a few years before i drove a cab , i just dunno to say nia , i keep confidential , but i know some here currently in same boat , trying to get a rice of rice to eat nia ....
Cheer up .
That is why the situation make me even stronger , hungrier , more desire to work and to live , more cruel , not cruel , just do what i can to earn more money , as long as no drugs , no prostitution , no rape , no rob , no con etc ....
The strong ones driving a taxi is those hungry man like us .
But not as hungry as ....... can i dun say ? Hahahahah
TY all....:) see u al tonight ....i bring a fellow noob bird can..? 12am rite...?
ok ok one more ......
Like illegal gathering , later police spot check ! Hahahahahah
I'm new to key in my view but not new to this forum. I always come in and looksee looksee, really all brothers here are fantastic. But one thing, to say is easy,doing and put it into picture is another problem. Sometimes when you need or maybe looking for a lost thing, it did not appear but if you don't care type, funny? opportunities look for you and lost thing suddenly appear for nowhere......
Well, today I would like to pen in my doubt and seek advice for all gurus here.
My hirer will be taking his new sonata soon(presently we are now on "crown" badge)
The question is that I as a relief need to attend the don't know what course(heard that the coy will lecture us about the management automatic veh.)
IMP, is that my hirer proposes to me to half shared half shared - As usual, each have a 12hour shift, half day rental, and if comfort had any incentives or bonus also half shared and it goes same to the rental free days half shared too. If he or myself did not drive for a day, I myself had to fork out extra $20.00 plus the rental to the hirer, that goes the same to hirer, I
