The prophecy of the Chosen One was a Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who would bring balance to the Force. That being has manifested itself as Uber/Grab.

One cannot simply go against the force of change, instead, one should change to adapt. Do not take the one who force you to change as enemy, instead, embrace him or her as your catalyst of change. No 14 Interpretation: Bad That was what I asked and get "chen" from Guan Yin Ma at waterloo street.

Uber will be launching their car pooling service uberPOOL
in Singapore from 1 July.uberPOOL enables people going
to the same place at the same time to share the journey. It’s all about getting more butts into fewer cars. This means cheaper rides for passengers and less congestion over time.Here’s how it works:
- Choose the uberPOOL option in the app. Enter your destination and request a ride.
- You’ll see your driver’s details straight away — name, photo and the details of the car. As with uberX, these drivers are have undergone an extensive screening process.
- uberPOOL will then match you with another passenger heading in the same direction:
- That passenger will either be in the car at the start of your trip, in which case you’ll see their name in advance; or
- Your driver will pick them up along the way, in which case Uber will notify you via the app.
- Whether you’re first or second into the car, Uber ensures that you’re never taken more than a few minutes out of your way.
- At the end of your trip, you’ll pay just like a normal Uber trip and receive an electronic receipt.
uberPOOL
is more affordable because the cost of the trip is shared. The fare per trip is lesser than uberX, which is typically the cheapest service-whether Uber pairs you up with another passenger or not.For more info, visit Uber’s press release here
Other terms and conditions apply.
- Choose the uberPOOL option in the app. Enter your destination

Uber now also got one ang mo char bor driver... A 44-year-old British woman who moved to Singapore with her banker husband in 2010 and became a permanent resident in 2013 is now a Uber driver. Uber which said that only 2 percent of its “tens of thousands of driver partners� are foreigners said that the Briton, Anna Gibbons, is its only driver-partner who is a Caucasian woman. The Straits Times reported that Ms Gibbons took to being an Uber driver after her 13-year marriage ended last year. Her husband had an affair and has since remarried. The woman has 2 children, a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old form her marriage and is unable to relocate out of Singapore because her former husband has not given her consent to do so. Singapore is a signatory to an international convention (Hague Convention) which is meant to offer protection from cross-border child abductions, and this prevents the woman and her children from taking off from Singapore. Ms Gibbons ex-husband pays maintenance for the upkeep his former family, and the payment covers the rent for her family’s apartment in Pasir Ris, fees for the children’s local school and other living expenses. But Ms Gibbons took to being an Uber driver in April because she wanted to make her children’s lives a little more easier. The 6-feet-tall Uber driver estimates that going by the number in a support group, there could be 200 expatriate women divorcees in Singapore. Hope I can get her...6ft never try before

You guys always have the wrong concept that big dick satisfy women, but of course big dick to a woman feeling is the same as we see big tits, but that doesn't mean big tits are good sex partner, some with small tits are also good in sex, better than those big tits that can suffocate you. In Sex, service is critical, how you satisfy a woman is your skill, not just merely your dick, if you use the wrong head, dick head to think, which of peoples do, then I can say you are a lousy sex partner to any woman on the street. Of course, you also cannot have dick the size like some of those japoonese porn lanjiao so small and tiny, that one is a gone case. As along as you hv a medium size will do, the other method can use your tongue, your mouth, your fingers, your toes..... ..

The transportation industrial is going thru a revolution of quick changes as business swift and move faster today, peoples, especially the youngs are also job hopping more and more often, as job hopping had in a way become the most effective ways of pay or remuneration increases. Just a few years ago, taxi driver were talking about huat and let them rot kind of phrases, but today, we are facing competition from apps and other transportation, and these apps, very soon is going to face competition from employed drivers and so on. The economy is still at it downward trend and it have not hit it rock bottom, and the sentiment from many business peoples is cut cost to save business (not save job), then anticipate a wait and see tactic, these lead to many restructurings going on, and in every restructuring, jobs are lost.

Pokemon Go's launch in Singapore spawns gaming-related car rental and hire services
The Straits Times
8 August 2016Tired of walking to the next Pokestop or Pokemon Go gym while playing the game?
Car rental firms, private drivers and even avid players are hoping to provide a solution for players of the popular mobile game which launched in Singapore on Saturday (Aug 6).
Advertisements have started appearing on social media, offering car rental and hire services to help players visit Pokemon Go-related locations in air-conditioned comfort.
The current market rate for your own Pokemon Go chauffeur, according to checks by The Straits Times, is about $30 an hour.
Private car driver Mr Sng, who manages a network of drivers offering limousine services on the Facebook page Limo Sixty9, is charging that amount to help players "catch as many Pokemon as they want" in his multi-purpose vehicle.
While he has not received any requests for the service yet, Mr Sng said it was another way to market his services.
"I've seen the popularity of the game and people might have use for such a service later on if they want to cover more ground."
Pokemon Go community groups on Facebook are also abuzz with users offering to ferry their fellow players around.
A Facebook user who wanted to be known only as Ian put up a post in the "Pokemon Go Singapore - Team Instinct (Yellow)" group on Sunday morning, offering to drive his fellow players around Singapore for a fee of $30 an hour.
"I'm a Pokemon Go fan myself and since I have some free time during the weekend, I thought I'd ask if anybody was keen," Ian, who works in the construction industry, told The Straits Times.
"$30 an hour is not a lot if a group of friends get together to share the cost, and I need to cover petrol costs. If there's more interest and I have the time, I don't mind doing it on future weekends."
Full-time Grab driver Sean Yap said in a Facebook post he was charging $350 a day - excluding ERP and parking charges - to drive players around.
While his post garnered flak from people complaining that it was too expensive, Mr Yap, 26, explained that the amount was what he usually earns in a day.
He added: "Since everyone is so into the game, I might as well try my luck by offering this service. If people really engage my services, I'd still be earning the same."
Meanwhile, car rental firm Wagon Mate is offering a week-long (Aug 8 to Aug 15) promotion for customers who rent its cars to play Pokemon Go.
Those who can prove that they have downloaded the game will receive a 10 per cent discount, said owner Ralph Koh. Car rental rates at Wagon Mate start from $48 a day for a Suzuki Swift.
"The weather in Singapore is quite hot and some people might not want to walk too much, so we thought of this promotion. But we also warn them that the person driving should not be using his mobile phone to play the game," said Mr Koh.
He added that Wagon Mate has received four enquiries from interested customers since the company put up a poster on its Facebook page on Saturday night.
Both the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force had posted advisories on Saturday, reminding the public not to play the game while behind the wheel.
Advertising executive Josh Lim said while he might consider renting a car or driver to help him play the game in the future, it was still too early to do so now.
"With Pokemon Go only a day-old in Singapore, I suspect the novelty has yet to wear off and people will still want to experience chasing after Pokemon on foot," said the 27-year-old.
The hiring of personal drivers to hunt Pokemon is not new. It was reported in the United States in early July - shortly after the game's launch there - that enterprising drivers had also posted online ads offering their services.
Some services even came with additional perks such as free snacks, wifi and phone charging.

Cannot said like this lah, so what you got money, you block limpek way, limpek still fark you kau kau...so what you spent on a Ferrari but dunno how to drive, end up become a danger for road user...sometime, people spend money is related to our business, if they spent on taxi fares, the result can be very much different one hor, therefore, I do not agree totally on yr lanjiao phrase.
