Us FV girls were lost lambs at lunch just now.
We had no transport home as the driver had errands to run! More important errands than picking up 3 girls with full stomachs.
So….. we took a cab!!!!!!!
I took a cab!! My dad would be worried sick, but I’m safe, dad!!
I’ve heard so many stories about cab drivers, but I had a good feeling about this one. He didn’t seem like the evil type, but then again, don’t judge a book by its cover. However, I had Wawa and Mia with me, so I felt quite safe.
Super excited, as you can see!!!
First thing I did after getting in the cab was….ok fine, I took this picture.
But IMMEDIATELY after that, I smsed the taxi registration number so at least someone would know it if anything happens.
If you’re rajin (and actually we all should!), you should take a picture of the taxi driver’s registration license displated above the dashboard and send it to someone. Just in case.
From my few experiences in cabs, I found that all the taxi drivers were pleasant. They were nice men who just wanted to make an honest living. But still, it only takes ONE unlucky experience to ruin your life, so always be alert and always inform your loved ones of your whereabouts.
Be safe wherever you are, guys!
hey my friend mia is there! π
I had a bad experience previously which had made me stopped taking taxis altogether… unless I have no choice and there were friends with me. Honestly π
First time taking a cab? π
I hate Malaysia’s cabs why can’t they be as clean as Singapore or Thailand’s cabs.
I did the same thing !! sms the number plates and names to someone close. I also pretended to be on phone to inform “no one” that i m in a taxi and is heading to the destination, so the taxi driver got the impression that someone knows my whereabouts.
emm i think its really snobbish of you to potray cabbies in such a bad light. Offcourse there are a few bad apples out there but the same can be said in any line of work. Driving a cab for a living(put yourself in their place for juz a day) is hard enough as it is, wld be nice if you focused on the positives instead.
and for Cat, such general statements about how good Singapore and Thailand’s cabs are? there are infinite variables to be considered before u make a straight comparison like that.. seems a bit harsh to me especially if u are a malaysian.. cheers:)
But she did mention that she’s met pleasant drivers so far (towards the end)…
Anyway, this one cabdriver who drove me recently told me of the cases he’s heard and (seriously) NAGGED to me about how important it is to take note of the cab’s registration number and driver’s name because supposedly, the crime rates relating to cabs are increasing…
I do the same, too, especially when I’m alone.
yess, my dad also never encourage me to take a cab unless im with more than 2 friends.
singapore cabs ftw! i’m not kidding! i’ve been in malaysia for 7 years and cabs here- i can’t even begin to compare w sinagpore cabs. no offence. but really, something should be done right away!
I feel that as long as I’m with people, I’m pretty safe on the cab. I’m not that paranoid when it comes to cab drivers. Don’t think it’s fair to judge all of them from a few people with raging hormones.

SMS and give someone close a call. Should start taking pic of the taxi driverβs registration license displayed on that dashboard. Emm….again, when was the last time i take a cab.
ouch..when i visit malaysia i would always take cabs!! erm if cabs are not safe which is the best mode of transport in my? because i never took bus in my before..hehe because sometimes i would visit and would like to note it down! ^-^ thanks!
