The Cabs are outta get us!
finally went shopping with the mother today. yesh. much needed mother-daughter bonding and retail therapy. Not to mention, i've finally figured out the secret to having yourself a satisfying day of shopping. I'm talking--
1. getting the clothes you like in your size
2. finding something you've been looking for going for 50% cheaper
3. good service
4. minimal hunting for the things you set out to buy
5. getting a mercedes cab at the taxi Q
When you find yourself, feet aching, back breaking and fingertips purple and numb from carrying shopping bags AND YET still smiling as you show off your spoils THEN, LADIES and GENTS you had yourself level 5, totally satisfying and effective retail therapy session!!
oh yes yes the secret: *whispers* say a lil prayer before you head out. of course it works better if you're sincere and truly in dire need off retail release.
My mum's a strange lady. Not convinced? let me show you Exhibit A : ME! ok now that you're convinced, lets move on. As we were waiting at the taxi stand, feeling obviously exhausted from the day of intensive shopping, she came up with some conspiracy theory all by herself. I was already kinda sian that not many empty cabs were coming in, and she went on and on mumbling about how these cab drivers are very smart, they PURPOSELY alight the passengers and drive off without picking up new ones because they wanna wait around for people to book taxis and that way they can earn i-dunno-how much more la. " You see you see, at first he put the yellow light THEN when he reach, he put ON CALL! tsk tsk tsk tsk so smart ah." *denise garners whatever strength is left in her and stares at mum* Kay i really dunno if shes right. But i thought it'd be rather dumb for the cabbies to purposely not pick up passengers and go wait for booking right? Remember teacher always say: Bird in hand better than bird in bush!" AHA! so i really doubt her conspiracy theory holds. You may say i like to let people have the benefit of the doubt. Why rain on your own parade right? Anyway one paranoid in the family is enough. So when we got on the cab, i told my mum " mum! slide down your seat and hide!!! you never know who's watching us !! We got a cab without booking!! how can it be!?!? *gasp* must be a goverment experiment *gasp* gasp*gasp* My mother proceeded to roll her eyes " VERY FUNNY! ah you. SIAO! sit properly la!" Ah yes. my mother so misses my nonsense. ¶ 8:50 AM
