bad taxi experience!!!

had the worse taxi experience ever today!!

was rushing for an event at vivo so was keening awaiting a taxi and i was really relieved when this one showed up.. but it turned up to be a really horrible experience.. and it made me realised how vulnerable we passengers are and they can actually like bring us anywhere and there's nothing we can do about it.. luckily i still made it to the event on time..

anyway it's this super hamsap taxi driver in his late 40s that totally freaked me out.. first he told me the back door of his cab is spoilt so i had to sit in front.. ok.. so i sat in front tho i though it's weird.. and the next moment he said it's his first day hiring this cab and i should give him an ang bao for good luck.. like 'huh?!'... that's not so bad..

he then started singing praises at me.. and then about himself.. says he's a really good singer and wants to teach me singing, say i should go into TV and he can be the king of property and i can be the queen of tv land (like 'huh?!' again!) and then the worse part came, he demanded we be friends.. i was totally lost for words..

and i realised he was not keeping his eyes on the road but on me.. i nv knew i had such powers seriously.. that was when i think he planted the stupid story saying the back door is spoilt to make me sit in front.. omg.. and he was driving damn slowly possibly purposely taking a longer route to vivo then is needed.. and he kept saying we should exchange no.s.. that point i was contemplating rejecting him or juz simply giving him a fake no.

finally.. and i say finally, i reached vivocity and was all ready to jump off the cab.. and he still demanded he wanted my number.. i figure it's easier to juz give him a fake identity and number so i did just that.. got my change in lightning speed and sped off..

one HELL of a scary taxi ride..

luckily what's to follow is much more pleasant.. cos i get to meet with JJ Lin up close.. he's not exactly the most good looking guy around but hey he's talented and he's not bad looking la.. plus he's pretty nice and sincere.. i believe 1 most impt trait an artist must have is sincerity! can't stand those who don't even want to look you in the eye or just give half hearted answers like they dun even bother to process it in their brians..

tho i had to wait more than an hour with the whole lot of other reporters from all sorts of media for my turn which happens to be last on the list but that's cos i wanted to do the interview together with limin who was there for chinese tv news.. she was so poor thing having to handle the dv camera and digital camera by herself and with a malfunctioning tripod.. figured she couldn't be interviewing and shooting at the same time.. so i did the interviewing and she did he shooting in the end..

and so the highlight of the event.. photo with JJ.. (lighting sucks tho!plus my camera is not the best around)
