It was a miracle that Maya and I got home safe and sound after Shimona’s gig at Swing last night.
Conversation with the taxi driver:
Me: Uncle, we’re making two stops. First to Bishan, then to Woodlands.
Taxi Driver (TD): What? Where?
Me: Bishan, then Woodlands.
TD: Oh, Jurong?
Maya and I: BISHAN
TD: Huh? Bishan?
And he nearly gets into an accident by turning out from a corner without looking.
Nearing Bishan…
TD: Bishan where?
Me: Street 12
TD: Oh, Street 21?
Me: No, Street 12. (Fingers the number 1 and 2)
TD: Street 12 ah? One stop only right?
Me: No, you have to go to Woodlands after that.
TD: Where?
Me: WOODLANDS!
TD: (looking confused) Woodlands?
What happens after I got home would be Maya’s tale to tell…
By the way, there was no yodelling at Swing last night despite the lack of people. I thank Maya for her graciousness.
