Taxi talk with uncles
Saturday was talking cock day. Boarded a taxi to a place near mustafa for dinner. Enroute, for some funny reason, we started talking cock. Many topics were broached. It was like a 22 year vs 50 year old talk.
So he was telling me about he used to be car salesman, where selling 2 cars would set him back for a month comfortably. And how his company cruelly retrenched him, saying he was old. But he didnt look old, oh well that wasnt the point, then came to the baby segments when our dear PM Lee said, we are not having enough babies.
His response to it was, "Why people dont want to give birth? Its because of financial reasons. if I was an ordinary MP, i would tell my wife, oei u give birth to me a football team." Then i was like, "haha uncle just do it man." He started commenting, "cannot already lah, anyway i already have kids, a son and a daughter; son studying in SIM next year, daughter Sec 3 in Chij toa payoh." I was like, "..."
Interestingly the gov's decision to import foreigners to make up the baby deficit is flawed. As pointed out by Mr Wang's blog. According to our dear PM, we are on the verge of becoming an aging population by 2030, and that one out of five will be > 65. Recruiting foreigners at the average age of 30-40, we would not be solving the baby problem, primarily, adults are not babies and likewise, babies do not equate to adults. 'Foreigner Imports' only serves to expedite the process of achieving an aging population. As Mr Wang says, PM Lee is talking nonsense and I would have to concur that he is indeed babbling rubbish.
On the way home with Fab in the cab, this uncle started chatting with us, when I was telling Fab how lousy his ARSEnal team was. Then the cabby driver, starting to join in, saying he was a chelsea fan. Then we were like ok... Then he started weaving some cock and bull story saying how he liked the name 'Chelsea'. Well uncle, you could name your daughter Chelsea, its a feminine name. Then he proceeeded lamenting how lucky was with soccer betting, then he started quoting one example where he betted 300 the scoreline 3-3 last season. His wife called him stupid. But 89mins , it was 3-2. Then there was a corner kick, and last min, the away team headed the equaliser. He said he won $1200+.
So i started enveloping the space in front of me with my arms, forming a circle and looked at Fabian - The Dua Pau Sign aka Big Cannon Taxi Uncle or strictly how the British would like to call it - 'Absolute bollocks'! By jogging my memory abit, I do not recall Chelsea having such a high scoreline.
Anyways, I played LAN with the boys at cine, but no we didnt play DOTA, but I was like playing warcraft, 2v2 with shiwei. Then during the second game, I decided to go tier 2 early, and I couldnt belive my luck that the human race opponent chose to tower rush me. So i was caught with my pants down literally. Sigh, If only I hadnt chose the tech strategy, we would have owned them. It became a 2v1 in the end. So we ended up playing half-life death match. God it was fun, some outsiders joined in and got pwned by us and left shortly lol.
So that was it.
