U know surely huat , so OMO drive night , rhythm for body sudden switch , took a toll on the body . ..... but on National Day itself , rental the same , but body punctured , no energy chiong , chiong also cannot match for those normal days .
So when i think of it , worth it ? Not worth it .
Worst is , body needs some re-tune .
But the next 2 days after holiday , always the case , not very busy like normal day .
So still not worth it , body still tired .
OMO cannot be like roti prata like that.. suka suka drive nite, suka suka drive day?? sure peng sang one... everyday same schedule regardless huat or no huat day...
Guys , pls listen to JLKL , he is so far , my very own longest serving OMO .
Although he earn peanuts , u guys must see his post on how to be a real OMO .
His last post very valuable :

DAY 21 OTR
bo bo drive taxi for three weeks liao... seems like yesterday onli first time at the wheels... yet also seems like been driving forever... but so far enjoying it...
khoon ex-company new manager ask khoon keen to go back anot with a good pay increase... but good horse no turn head to eat grass...
taxi gave khoon a way out when khoon at a dead end... so khoon should not forsake taxi now...
today saw car turtle otw to cng around bke adam area... second time liao... also same colour car... drive carefully and responsibly pls!
best colletion today... hee hee...
Y not take up the job again? Unless pay is worst than taxi now. Otherwise, taxi always there for u to drive.
Sometimes when I stop for a short period and return to driving, I find that like totally green, can even remember the routes and locations. Seems like must drive a few years then considered 'promote' to intermediate level.

Well the choice is yours .
After 10 years or more of being a farking TD, when your stamina decreases , energy level goes down , rental sky high , doing the same fark shit everyday lets see if u will still be as as happy as u are when u just started.
Dont look at poolman pls , he is the moderator here , he is suppose to say good things abt taxi? hahaha.
When u become a seasoned lao jiao , tats really the end of it. Job offer? hmmmm wait long long

In fact, most job after 10 years, all sian already, working life is the same, you got youngs FTs and younger peoples coming in to take over you and these young bosses who do know nothing begin to say you do not contribute much but salary very high, like forcing you to resign or look for another job, everyday is demand, target and profit, and profit is not for you alone, but for many managers, generel managers, directors, CEOs and all those shareholders who keep setting new goal and objectives for you to follow, everyday, you see superior faces also fed up.
Tell me how you become a TD in the first place, either get fed up with working or army life or get retrenched , got into this line and stuck with it.
For us working class, everyday hope to have Overtime or promoted to make some more money, but hv to back stab each other, some carry balls one get it, favoritism, nepotisim, curry flavor or whatever flavour you name it, power and money craze condition, it is all there. So, tired of driving taxi already? You better look at the good side of driving taxi, it is not the end of the road, at least you get a healthy and happier mind. And many TDs drive their whole life with graduates childrens. Never look down or be sian with what you have now, if you look down, pple will look even more down on you. You go try working again, every morning 8 must clock in, then, hell begin until 5.30pm.

SAF wu ani cham bo and TD wu ani ho bo... very big difference leh...
I, for once can be in a better position to see the differences, because I am also working full time, do you know the pressure of the need to meet customers needs, complete the right jobs on time and in time, the amount of call chasing, and the ever die die must complete jobs? I think most TDs here had forgotton what is working life after driving for so long, it is a different from your time in the 90s or early 2000s, you boss can be a Indian or philipino or chinese national, and your paid had been depressed due to their acceptance of low paid, how can you demand $4k, if your foreign manager only takes 2k? And as you grow older like me, you are consider a spent force, bite the bullet and keep quiet is the best policy, unless you are some MD or CEO or COO or CFO. Otherwise, work and buzz off, drive partime taxi better.

Not happy is ok, at least you see the pax face for the most 1/2 hrs, after that forget it altogether, in working life, you might have to face sour faces of your boss or colleagues for years everyday, so, take your pick.
I got colleague who resigned as engineer to drive taxi, formerly got lot of sickness, the last time i met him, he is so healthy and good looking, tho he earns less, but happy, very very happy.

but i think the point is that a lot of newbies got the misconception that taxi is easy money... i got a friend who just pass call me and ask me whether can earn XXXX amount [1st figure is not a low figure hor], i told him can but maybe he will give up in 1 month if his body can take it... if body weak, maybe 2 weeks bye bye liao... he say chun bo, i told him go find a job better lah... must be realistic lah... taxi driving makes easy money?? go think about it, got so easy meh??
