I've gone out to Geylang a few times and just didn't see what I was supposed to do. Couldn't tell which house very well from the outside and too chicken to go bang on a door.

Have done the OT and Brix routine soo many times and this trip decided no more. So been sitting around the hotel room.

Anyone interested in showing me how Geylang works? Will gladly buy dinner and a few drinks if interested. (And you probably aren't interested but I'm a pro tour guide of OT. Lol).

Tonight, tomorrow, whenever. Actually if anything is going on except the FLDome I stay near - count me in. Oh, I'm a pretty ok to good looking guy, 41yrs.

Well, drop me a PM if you needs a guide. I actually stays nearby,

Hmm.. I reckon stingy is not an appropriate word to use.

Taking a cab is a Singaporean culture like ordering coffee set at Ya Kun or ToastBox.

Ask yourself.. do you tip the staff or ask him to keep the change at the counter?

Having said that, I believe most Singaporeans are generous in tipping when they travel overseas.

Actually not really, when u drive long enough u will know mostly give U tip are Singaporean, some of them are really understanding, the tip are between $1-$3 depend on how u serve Ur customer.

I kana stringy ang moh also, I still remember it's Saturday night and susuki cup at our national stadium and the ang moh is going to stadium road, the whole area jam + some road close so the ang moh was kpkbing in my taxi. After that I discount $10 to him of the meter fare.

Yesterday I kana this.....

a granny flag my taxi at sembawang mrt going to sembawang shopping centre after reach sembawang centre she say it's not here so ask me to go Staight all the way, I ask her for address and Blk and she say she don't know, so I begin to suspect something is wrong, no choice I send her to yishun police post to try to scan for her address. After I told the incident to the police he help me ask granny for address but still can't get it, so he ask for the IC and scan it, end up the 79 year old granny is staying at Tampine Ave 5. Lucky the IC show one number and her daughter answer the call and say that her mum have Alzheimer's disease, so I proceed to send her home! Moral of the story it's not about I'm doing a kind deed but is to urge people to take good care of their parent, grandmother etc etc.

The granny is now safe home and I don't want to collect taxi fare and her daughter insist to collect 😜

Family is only once in the life time, nobody know what happen next hence please take good care of your love ones


End of the day I prefer to fetch Singaporean because here is singapore, if we don't help them who will help them? Just like when I'm at Clake quay I mostly will only fetch Singaporean go home 1st.

Hola.. enough praises for Singaporeans or else later people will say that we are "haolian" citizens.

Let's us get back to the subject of the thread.

Our dear American friend, did you have a good time at Geylang last nite?

Anyway I just watched the "American sniper" and it's a nice movie.

I really have to salute those American soldiers who fought at the Iraq war..

Mate, you can send a PM to my ladyboy.

IT is well versed with the surroundings of Geylang as IT operates occasionally in that area when days are bad at Changi.

Special price for foreign workers, $20.

Bro,

When is the last time you been there?

There are many locals who despised Geylang. Perception perception and perception. Prostitutes, streetwalkers, violence and gangsters are everywhere. Murder in Tampines = not violence? Loan shark in Bukit Batok = not gangsters?

So please open your eyes, ears, mind and heart before giving out a stupid comment like this.

Sorry guys/gals. I cant stand it when one criticises the place i residing in. I am proud to be a resident of Geylang.

Durians? I can smell them if anyone even mentions that word. Would be a nightmare for me to get a girl who ate it!!

So I went out on my own last night, same old Orchard area..

And, most Americans tip. In the US, waiters are paid about half of our minimum wage given they can get income through tips. If you get good service you usually tip 20%.

In Singapore I usually do the same even if a svc charge is added. Do waiters get the service charge? Guy brought room service yesterday and all I had was a SG $10. He was pretty surprised. Guess people like me inflate prices, lol.

Thumbs up for bro Coldblood69!!!!
