A Singapore Taxi Driver's Diary
"Probably the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of scientific accomplishments, I have been forced out of my research job at the height of my scientific career, and unable to find another one, for reasons I can only describe as something "uniquely Singapore". As a result, I am driving taxi to make a living and writing these real life stories just to make the dull job a little more interesting. I hope that these stories are interesting to you too."

Teacher insults student's mum
SHE was called an 'idiot mother' by her daughter's teacher in class.
The reason: He found the mother's letter, explaining why her daughter was often late for school, to be unsatisfactory.
On 3 Aug, Ms Mary's (not her real name) daughter handed the letter to her form teacher.
The letter listed bad traffic conditions in the morning as a reason why her daughter couldn't make it to school on time.
According to school records, the secondary one student was late a total of seven times last month.
Said the principal of the school in the north: 'It has been a recurrent pattern over the year, even after form teachers spoke to the mother. This prompted the request for a letter to explain her latecomings.'
The letter, however, did not meet the teacher's approval.
The principal confirmed that the incident had taken place.
Said the mother, 37: 'The teacher, who is also one of the form teachers, quoted parts of my letter and said my reasons were stupid excuses.
'He also remarked, 'What an idiot mother,' in front of the whole class, including my daughter.'
Ms Mary's personal background was not included in the letter.
As single mother, she works two jobs to make ends meet.
This means she cannot accompany her daughter to school every morning.
'I work two jobs and my hours are often irregular. I'm not always able to send her to school,' she said.
She added that her daughter sometimes gets lost when she takes the bus on her own.
'She gets confused about which bus stop to alight at. This is why she is late. When I do send her to school, we sometimes arrive late because of heavy traffic and jams.'
Introverted daughter
Ms Mary said she kept the letter brief because she was in a hurry when she wrote it.
'She told me at the last minute that I have to write a letter. I wrote it in the car just before dropping her off, worried that she would be scolded if she turned up without it.'
It turns out that the 13-year-old did not escape scolding, even with the letter.
Ms Mary heard about the teacher's harsh words in the evening when her daughter recounted the incident during dinner.
'She told me that she cried in class. She's an introvert and hence did not reply when the teacher made such remarks.'
When a fellow student tried to stand up for her daughter, he was also rebuked, claimed Ms Mary.
Ms Mary said: 'There was a boy who said, 'How can you scold other people's parents like that?'
'In reply, the teacher said, 'shut up, if you're late, I will also scold your mother'.'
Her daughter refused to attend school the next day.
Said Ms Mary: 'She told me she didn't want to go to school. I think her feelings were hurt, and she felt embarrassed in front of her classmates. I can understand why she did not want to go to school.'
On the same day, Ms Mary went to the school.
'I wanted to meet the teacher in question to clarify things, but was unable to, as he wasn't available.
'When I met the principal, he acknowledged that the incident had taken place, and apologised on behalf of the teacher. He said he will further investigate the matter,' she said.
In an e-mail reply to The New Paper, the principal said: 'I have spoken to the teacher and informed him that this use of inappropriate language is not acceptable.
'He has been counselled to refrain from doing so in future. I have apologised to the mother for this incident.
'With regards to using inappropriate language (not only idiot, but other adjectives too, in front of the class or anywhere in the school, we advise both teachers and students to refrain from doing so.'
Ms Mary, however, feels that the apology lacked sincerity.
'I can understand that, perhaps, the teacher did not mean what he said. If that is the case, he should have called me personally to explain. Until now, he has not contacted me.
'To be fair, it is my fault for taking my daughter to school late. However, I have my reasons.'
She added: 'I think he should acknowledge his mistake in front of the class, so students know that they cannot label people with words like idiot so casually.'
According to the principal, efforts will be made towards restoring the relationship between the child and teacher.
'We will work towards making sure that the learning environment in the class is not unduly affected,' he said.

Right or not, it's wrong already for the teacher to say tt, so i guess whois the idiot now?

The Story of Ugly
Warning: Pretty emo stuff.. esp if u are a cat lover
Personally i prefer to read from the picture, coz while reading, i caught myself keep scrolling down to see the cat, b4 scrolling back up to continue reading, below is the text format for those who cant read from the picReadable format:
Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat.
Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly.
To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot has appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner. His tail has long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs.
Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!"
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave.
Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbors huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.
Ugly lay in a wet circle, his back legs and lower back twisted grossly out of shape, a gaping tear in the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. I must be hurting him terribly I thought.
Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear - Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring. Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion.
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.
Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.

Want to park here? Too bad, I'm waiting for my boyfriend
STOMPer Rac said this woman driver refused to budge to let her park even though she was taking up two lots, and continued to chat on her phone while waiting for her boyfriend.
Said the STOMPer:
"I came home from work on Aug 8 2009 at around 6pm and saw this lady driver parking her car in 2 parking lots.
"I signalled to her that I would like to park my car but she simply refused to move.
"She continued her conversation for at least the next 20 minutes on her phone, while waiting for her boyfriend.
"Seriously, I'm sick of such inconsiderate drivers.
"Why can't she simply park her car properly instead of taking up 2 lots?"
Gee... if it's me, i would have parked infront of her, then go somewhere lim kopi already... or maybe whip out my psp n start playing monsterhunter.. when the bf returns , i will juz say...
"Wanna move out ah? Too bad, i on quest now... very hard to kill lah this boss... wait awhile okie?"
