I am not sure whether I don't have luck to take the right taxi, that was very high chances the taxi I took always who do not know the road and drive to the wrong place.
Due to my job, I need to take taxi often, so based past bad experiences, I always have my map with me and recently I even bought the Navigator device.
Unfortunately, many lousy taxi driver who seems not living in Singapore always drive to the wrong place or told me never heard the road name before, that was really a Big Big shame of them.
If you say I might having poor expression or bad conversation, then if I SHOW THE PRINTED MAP + NAVIGATOR WITH VOICE ASSISTS, can they still unable to drive to the destination?
It happened to night! This taxi driver told me he stay in Clementi, while I tole him I wanted to go Kent Ridge Crescent and go in by Clementi Road, but he drove me to west coast road, he insist not look at my map and the Navigator's guide, end up went to the wrong place again and again!
It really 'impress' the tourists who came to Singapore, a world class and famous branded Singapore!
I hope the related firm should do something about this.
Hardly understand what wrong with these group taxi driver who do not know the road.
The real professional I ever met which he really tried his best call up his friend or colleagues to guide him how to drive to the destination I required, unfortunately I had not met the second one who do this since 2 years ago.
As an ambidextrous caricaturist, I do caricature drawing since 1990 in Singapore. Einstien from Norway is the pioneer caricaturist with certain years before me, then follow by Eric Ng, Saik, Poon Ee Way whose were my senior. Chong Jit Leong, which known having shop at Yishun area doing full time portrait and caricature around that time as well if not wrong. Not much people doing caricature for events fringe art during that period. Nowadays, more than 22 active caricaturists in the industry.

Drawing Caricature Using Two Hands
Just did an event at Sentosa this morning, one of the guests told me he came across a female caricaturist using doing her caricature using two hands drawn in marker as well. That was not my first time hearing someone else using two hands to draw in recent years. Talking about drawing caricature using two hands in Singapore, I am very sure to say I am the first person who doing it in the events since 1990 till now.As an ambidextrous, I did not feel special proud or can be arrogant some sort, because drawing or writing using two hands, just a very common matters, as common as like this world having twins, those people who having 6 fingers in each of their hands etc.Anyone also can be draw or write using both hands simultaneously as long as they willing to train themselves.
Anyway, I will be very proud and very arrogant once I successful to train myself using my foot or whatever other body parts to hold a pen to draw. Heehee!
Nothing to be surprise that during recent years, more and more caricaturists join the events and entertainment industry, more and more artists copy each others and became much more competitive in the limited market in Singapore. Hence, sooner or later, you will seeing many ‘two handed’ caricaturists in Singapore or it could made Singapore became ‘The most Caricaturists Drawn using two hands in the World’ haahaa!
People who can draw or write using their both hands at the same time, I think should be 30% or more in our whole world’s population, definitely not only 1% existing in this world, haahaa!
End of the day, the quality and the originality creation of the artwork is the most important criteria being a professional.
