The Voice
It all started with a "Sorry, could you turn up the aircon please?" to the cabby with a head full of white hair. That one statement started a string of bewildering, unwarranted and rather exaggerated praises from this stranger.
"You are so polite. Some people will just get agitated and shout." he complimented.
"Oh hahah…ummm it's nothing worth getting agitated about." I love my aircon but not to that extent.
"Are you a doctor?" he surprised me with this odd question.
"Errrr no"
"Cos you have such a calming effect in your voice. It's very soothing." he further lavished me with praises out of nowhere.
"HHAH" I burst out laughing. He should hear me when I get worked up playing games. "Thanks..glad to know that."
The cabby went on and on about what a great employee I must be and how the company must be fortunate to have me working for them. I kid you not. By the end of the journey, I felt like a god with an attentive, enthusiastic servant on steriods, eager to lap up every single Word I utter. I think if I told him to "EAT SHIT AND DIE" in my silky, benevolent and godly voice, he would think I commended him for being the best cabby ever.
