Met a cab driver today. Was quite irritated with him.
1. Ask questions tt he already know the ans.
2. don't take 'i dunno' as an ans.
3. Self pity
there's nothing wrong w asking about churches n what they do. I'm glad to ans. I think it's pretty rude if u want to corner a Christian n get some juicy gossip out of it.
Example 1:
Cab: does Christian need to take exam to be a pastor?
Me: I'm not so sure leh.
Cab: my friend is a pastor. He's undergoing a course n need to take exam to be a pastor.
Me: uncle. Since u hv a pastor friend y don't u ask him directly?
Cab: no lah. No lah. I want to know more.
Example 2:
Cab: Ur church looks like a warehouse.
Me: coz it's a rented place. We can't do deco on it.
Cab: where is ur main base?
Me: marine parade
Cab: the xx church in jurong very big. A lot of ppl.
Me: tt's a different church.
Cab: church gt difference ah! Y church is different!
Me: juz different name?
Cab: y different name?
(knowing he wants to compare n contrast)
Me: juz like same kinda food can be sold by different company? Same same but different. Y don't u attend one urself to see it for yourself.
Cab: No lah. I juz want to know more. coz I'm driving Christian ppl like u to church. So I know where to go.
me: but uncle, you r not asking about road direction. u r asking about what church does?
Example 3:
Cab: what r u working as?
Me: designer
Cab: muz earn a lot of money.
Me: same as the rest. Everyone earns their own pay.
Cab: no lah. Compare to me. U muz hav earn a lot.
Me: every traits has it's own talent.
Cab driver keeps quiet.
Example 4:
Cab: i turn in closer to the door.
Me: oh thank you
Cab: ya. Of coz, later u will scold me. I want to know more about Christian but u didn't want to teach me.
I kept quiet. Wanted to say... If u don't get the ans u want, doesn't mean I didn't teach.
