Tabula Rasa

A little slot in the vast cyberspace to start from a clean slate. Learn to crawl, walk, run and fly... to laugh, cry, whine and shout about anything and everything under the sky :)

Walking anyone?

A leading lady in a Japanese Series once said : Love is like a waiting for a Taxi, you don't know when it'll arrive .....

When you are waiting for one, you don't seem to be able to hail one. BUT that doesn't mean there's no taxi, there just no VACANT taxi for you.....

Then you get the bright idea of getting a better chance of hailing one across the road. As you wait patiently on the other side the road, several vacant ones just zoomed past when u once stood.... then you went back to where u waited originally....

You then think maybe one will come by if I wait patiently. As time ticked by quickly, you decided to actively search for the taxi within the area.... Either way.. it's to no avail...

Finally, you've decided to give up and just walk back.. As you turn to walk up the street, several taxis; old ones, brand new ones, plain blacks, colourful ones and a few others just came right up to you.... Overwhelming your senses...

As you walk towards the one you think will give u a safe and comfy ride to your destination, the headlights shining on you... giving you insights into yourself and the surroundings

As for me, i have crappy luck in getting taxi. Am used to driving or walking that I find taking a taxi can be, despite a few rather pleasant rides, ultimately a daunting experience.... The unnecessary small talks; the incessant chats that takes place when all you want is some peace and quite as you head home; the stressful journey back as the driver recklessly take you on a roller coaster ride ignoring your plea to slow down/speed up....

I think I shall walk a little first before I start hailing for a taxi :)
