okayy, i have been meaning to blog about this since forever, so here goes!
*slams*
"uncle get me to orchard please"
"orchard is it? okay"
*drives off*
like a signature trademark, the taxi choked in thick fumes of pandan leaves. there was a small but significant card that hung at the corner of the wind screen.
all it said was :
You are traveling in comfort with
Koh Hung Kwang
SHA1600L
and fifteen minutes down the road, we were still not yet reaching the highway. hands clammy and anxious not to be late, i got irritated and rushed the driver. what i got in return was the snap of an old man's dentures in my butt.
"i dont do rushing, i go law by law okay. i am not like those drivers who get manipulated by spoilt little rich children jsut because they want to get to their destinations faster, i stick to the rules and that is that. no rushing."
*ouhhhkay, whatever*
five minutes passed and we finally hit the highway, with the vehicle going steady at 60km/hour, i was uber pissed up. because the rules didnt say taxis have to stick to a 60km/hour speed, and because the driver was simply wasting my time, and wasting my money, by charging me extra, by slowing down before each traffic junction, jsut so that the price on the meter tick like a happy cricket.
i simply did not pay for this, i simply did not flag down a cab and expect to find myself trapped on the highway with a greedy old pirate.
seriously, taxi drivers should have realised by now that they are only important for the fact that they can get us to our destinations pronto! its not like we would choose to flush our money down their meters like toilet bowls swallowing shit. and the way they get all proud about being "important". pfffft. i cant believe this.
but that was two months ago and so heck it.
i love james morisson now. he is now part of my KTtunstall-JASONmraz-COLBIEcallait-clique. i think i jsut dig indie singers, very much in fact. and the fact that the fonts are so small are cause im so shy to say this out loud. HAHAHA.
and right now i am so eggcited because i cannot wait for genting. will be going with edmund and sharon. sounds like fun already. and although not very nice, but edmund's aunt will be paying for the transport, lodging and food. which is like, a lot of money. i dont feel nice, but i sure will give his aunt a HUGE ASS hug when saturday comes.
and there will be pictures, of places and food, also sharon and edmund and me, but still will have more pictures of food and places.
and and i am kind of contented now, the way things are. i am actually glad the five of us wound up in the same class jsut like year one. it feels so familiar, and happy. i guess it pretty much doesnt matter if this semester was a busy and crazy and chaotic one, but it sure seems more fun and exciting than all the other.
i should jsut learn to be contented more easily, way long ago.
