After a quick shopping trip on Orchard Road, Me and couple more mates hopped on a yellow-top taxi to return to gallery Hotel. An innocent-looking uncle-driver picked us up and drove us to our destination.

The short ride nearly turned to a roller-coaster ride with bumps, screeching-brakes and sudden swerves... even when there were no other cars around. once, we approached a hump, downhill... he didn't slow down...... everyone in the cab had our butts in mid-air..!!! Best thing... he said, "AIYOH!!"

When we reach at the hotel, he had the cheek to say........

"$3.50.... SINGAPORE TAXI VERY CHEAP!!!" - then I replied, "Ya! cheap and bumpy!!!"

Obviously, he thought we were tourist... as we were all speaking in foreign tones!!!

Cheap My foot......!!! name me anything that's cheap??!

Even Ol' Chang Kee Bastard (must pronouce with a Western slang) cost us $6/- for 2 sotong heads, 1 sotong ball, 1 breaded prawn and a curry-O.......... BLOODY SOTONG!!
