Approaching a bus stop, i noticed an elderly malay woman waved at me. i stopped for her to board the taxi. she told me "Tan Tock seng hospital". as i drove off she said she couldn't lift her arms when she woke up in the morning. i saw from the rear mirror she had tears in her eyes. i suspected she had a stroke. she instructed me to visit the atm for her to draw money to pay for the taxi fare. i asked her if she had any children, she said she had one son who went to work. i got angry and started to lecture her. i said "your son should take you to the hospital in an ambulance. what happens if you fell sick in my taxi? i cannot save you". i drove as fast as i could to reach TTSH and she was rather concerned about paying for the taxi fare.

The taxi ride to the customer’s place was filled with rich conversation. Taxi uncle in his 60s sharing with me powerful (and sure-fire) tips on staying healthy. We reached the lunch place. It was awkward as there was no business/friendship/family relationship between Uncle and me after that taxi ride. There wasn’t anything in it for us to be having lunch together (not family, not friends yet, not colleagues). But there we were, having lunch at the same table.
