aunty in the making

(Taxi ride from Jurong Point)

I: Uncle, do you know where Corporation Primary School is?

taxi driver: (nod, signalling me to sit in)

I: (feeling very uncomfortable with the smoke) Wha, uncle you smoke in the taxi ah?! SO smelly! Can you wind down the window? I don't want the school to think that I smoke you know.

T: okay, okay. Just now the passenger smoke in my car lah.

I: (yah, As if I will believe you) No wonder the car smells....

T: I fetched 2 people to Corporation Primary before. Very near.

I: Ok, great. I don't want to be late...Err.. Uncle! Why you go this direction? (forget about using proper grammar on uncle)

T: Not here meh?

I: No lah! This is near my house already, how can I not know? Aiyoh, you're driving to Lakeside Primary, not Corporation Primary. You know, near Singapore Boys' Home? This is Corporation Road but not Corporation Primary!

T: ok , ok, I know. The other side, lah

(Heading in the right direction)

I: So uncle, no problem right?

T: Sure Sure..

And finally I reached. Phew

I: Thank you uncle!

What a ride. How aunty I had sounded...
