Is this world only about money? Taxi drivers are supposed to bring people to their destination swiftly, but because midnight charges are higher, they are willing to fend off some 'small fry' customers in order to earn more profits.

They wait for midnight to come by sleeping in their cars. Their cars are parked all over the side of the roads. Then how about all the people trying to beat their curfew? how about those in need? The drivers just chase them off with a paltry wave of his left hand.

aren't the customers going to pay too? though it may be a bit lesser, it's still money isnt it so? This world is driven by greed and the profit-incentive mindset, but do they have to go to such lengths?

I've to comment on a particular taxi driver though. he was very kind and though some persuasion is needed still, he took in a couple stranded late at night trying to beat their curfews. my heart was a little lightened by that.

Thinking to myself, i thought of the times when bus drivers would speed pass a bus-stop ignoring either the person flagging frantically at the bus-stop or the person pressing the bell in the bus.

Then i came to a conclusion - PUBLIC transport. the word public tells you all you need to know. Contrary to the popular belief "the customer is king", in the 'public world', customers are just merchants to the kings, the people who take on the roles as the bus/taxi driver etc.

before you are a customer to the taxi drivers, you are just a member of the large clique, which is the public. So the taxi drivers tend to choose you rather than vice versa. who's the king in this case then?

getting out of the topic now. I feel like i'm living in a bubble.. i feel like i'm rising and i feel like i'm seeing and being exposed to a lot of things, but actually i'm not. i'm still the same-old-me. I tot i would have a new lease of life after legally breaking out of secondary school, but no.

anyway, speaking of secondary school, i suddenly feel very distant from my old sec sch clique. It's like we've not meet up for quite a long time. Most of you people have changed i tink. i really want a reunion someday.. :) So to my sec sch clique, "we may be busy with our own lives but friends are forever. So lets meet up sometime someday soon ya! Looking forward to it!"
