Cabs Boycott!
Tuesday, I spend the morning arranging my documents in my harddisk. Its high time i do some housekeeping and put all files into the correct folders and delete away all the non-important ones or duplicate zip files...
Sent some of the photos for printing but the output was not what i expected. Looks good on screen, developed out it looks like $)#(@!#) I suspect the person edited the contrast... Sigh... So what if it cost 25 cents... I think next time, i ask them to leave the editing.
Not much interesting happenings in the afternoon. More housekeeping.
Dinner was at Clementi Hawker Centre with all my favourite food. And its not even $9!
I did my best to boycott the comfort cabs and city cabs. I had never seen so many empty comfort cabs for hire in a while. Looks like I am not alone. Most cabs that were filled are from SMRT, SMART, TransCab, Silver Cabs. There I stood by the side of the road, holding my stuff. Lots of them slowed down but I kept my hands to myself... till I saw a SMRT cab and I flagged it down. Looks like I can carry on doing this for a week. The uncle told me SMRT starts next monday... Then I may have to stick to just Silver Cabs...
Uncle told me not his choice and he still feel that a reduction in rent still better than passing the cost to the consumers coz it will just drive us away... I believe that will happen in the short run... with slow packed trains and buses that do not take you to the place you want unless you change and change bus / train, the demand for cabs are quite inelastic... Uncle also said that if cabbies can't make money (there are news that rental may even go up or diesel subsidy taken away) they just have to return the cab and stop renting them and do other work. At the end of the day, everyone knows where the money goes to. Sigh, that's life.
Did some readings and watched some TV. Life without the magic of World Cup.
