I had the misfortune of meeting with the most arrogant, self-absorbed cab driver EVER today. All through the almost 20-minute journey, he was going on and on about how:
1) Singaporeans have bad english (which was a primer for, "I speak very good english. I don't have to speak in an American accent, but my pronounciation is near perfect!")
2) Thais are rated the number 1 friendliest people in the world, and Singaporeans? Don't even bother. At least, the majority of Singaporeans (guess WHO was considered part of the minority of *ahem* friendly Singaporeans)
3) The government is relaxing immigration laws (which was a cover for "My general knowledge is very good.. I've never met any other person who's general knowledge is better than mine")
4) Christianity has so many different denominations ("I am very modern..to me there are no boundaries, I go to everything..temple also I go")
5) "I should be a tycoon.. a billionaire. Millionaire is kacang puteh.."
URGH.
And somewhere in the middle of all this, I find out that he used to be an ACS boy. *masks chuckles*
