The Ripped Soul

Had the worst taxi ride EVER, yesterday night.

After my friend's BBQ party @ East Coast.......

[which was an interesting one since...

1) I managed to sabo the b'day girl with cake, pepsi and meegoreng,
2) I was forced to put on a bloody army designed bikini with that FREAK watching me swim in the sea by the rocks,
3) I almost lost my Ray-Bans and housekeys, but didn't, thanks to The Fish,
4) I forgot all about the pretty little seashells i collected,
5) MY FORM TEACHER SAW ME SWIMMING,
6) and because I almost drowned again as the current pushed me out further away from the shore. ]

.....the guys decided to play a little pool at the pool hall up Mac's. So we went, played.. then the big unfriendly GIANT suggested watching a midnight movie. Girl's pick. So long as it wasn't some cheesy love story. I wanted Ghost Game since Nick refuses to watch it tomorrow. But whoops, ghost game had no show. SO FINE. I wanted any other horror flick. NO CARTOONS FOR ME. And no Click! since Nick's treating PPGM that show tomorrow. Rah.

Then HE wanted TDWPrada. JUST BECAUSE OF THE FINE LEATHERY PRODUCTS HE'D GET TO SEE IN THE MOVIE. Brand/Label Fanatic. Bleh.

So with no show left... we were left with Snakes On A Plane. I didn't mind, since I haven't been to a midnight show for SO long. And from what I heard, it was pretty good. So why not? So after getting the thumbs up from everyone watching the movie, we decided to quit pooling around and head out to the cinema before the shopping centre closed. Got the timings for the movie from my best friend, then we tried to get a cab. To no avail, of course. Since the drivers gave us punks carrying containers and coolers one dirty look before driving off.

So we walked further down, grabbed a cab from some adults and left. Reached Cine, and when we went to the box office level, we got the shock of our lives when we saw that THERE WAS NOBODY THERE. Wayne and I got freaked out. Called my bestie again to double check the timings, the place etc. Then we went to all the floors to find for the open box office. Wham. 9 floor lah, morons.

Got the tickets and waited for the rest to come. Went up, saw the movie.. and we were the only people laughing like madcows lah. The dick scene, the boob scene, the mary-kate scene.. and Sam L Jack's famous line(s)..

"Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane! "

God, this movie gave a whole new meaning to why NC16 movies rock.

Loved it. THEN everyone decided to go home. Jaws and Wayne decided to share a cab with me. That was when we had the cab ride from hell.

Well, they enjoyed their part of the journey. WHEN it came to ME [I was the last passenger to alight] .. he was cursing and swearing balls.

We were turning out of Kovan area, where IHM is. One sportscar ALMOST crashed into us because this taxidriver was SPEEDING. First thing the driver said.. "wah lan eh. this fucker can't even drive properly, want to drive sportscar. think just because night time got NOBODY on the road, can speed izit?!"

When he turned out to Serangoon Shopping Centre, he realised he couldn't turn right. Second thing he said? "CHEEBYE LAH! Why cannot turn right?! KNN."

And for the rest of the journey? He was talking about Jaws and Wayne romancing in the backseat. Then the topic turned to sex. Singapore teens turning into Westerners. Girls not being worried about Unwanted pregnancies. Guys not wearing condoms. Unsafe sex. Pregnant teens. Babies thrown out the window. Put inside cupboards. Thrown into dustbins. The whole sexual procedure. Sperms having GERMS? Going into the egg? Then thats how babies come about?

WAHLAU. I was so damn scared that he would do something to me you know!

Bloody had 15mins of biology lesson in the taxi. AND I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. Christ.

Next time, whether or not its 1am, 2am, 3am in the morning - I am walking home. EVEN IF I HAVE TO CARRY BAGS THAT WEIGH A FREAKIN TONNE.

I am sick and tired of being cheated 3 times, and having go through such traumatising rides home at midnight. Can't wait for the day I have my own car. FUCK ALL THE MIDNIGHT DRIVERS.

Assholes.
