It's an abandoned blog, people!!! Oh well. Haha. It shows that I've been 'busy' with work (partially true, because I haven't much to report on, except the workload I've been getting and how it has made me un-bothered with updating the rest of the world on my little old boring life).
Anyway, I just got back from my hometown about two days ago. Frankly I do miss home, but too much of it can get boring, too. Nonetheless, I can't wait for Raya! Oh the festivities! The friends! THE FOOD!!!
I thought what happened on Monday was pretty blogworthy, and I think some (SOME) of my patience with KL public transport paid off.
It's pretty lame to blame laziness on the fasting season, but I couldn't be bothered when it came to paying a bit more for door-to-door service. I was up to catch an early flight back to KL, went to college, and took my sweet time to come back home. I took the cab from college to the Putrajaya ERL station, took a bus to KL Sentral, and took another taxi from there to my area.
Taxis being taxis, ones that you get from KL Sentral work with the purchase of coupons. The place where I stay is slightly off Jalan Bukit Bintang(BB), and obviously the coupon computer system does not have the little road that branches off BB. So it printed out a ticket that said, to BB. The guy at the coupon counter told me to liase with the taxi driver about the little road. OKAY.
So I got myself into a cab. I told the cabbie if he used Jalan Raja Chulan to get to my place, which is not far from Bukit Bintang at all, we can bypass the heavy traffic.
Cabbie: Oh miss, your ticket says Jalan BB. If I use Jalan Raja Chulan, the charge is different. I just use BB, then you tell me where to go ok?
Azzie: If you insist...Cabbie stops at Jalan Imbi, which is near BB, but not quite.
Cabbie: Stop here ah?
Azzie: This is not even BB!
Cabbie: Then where you want to stop?
Azzie: I told you, my place is at Jalan Sahabat, very near BB...
Cabbie: Ah? Like that I charge you RM 5 more, ok?
Azzie (in mind): WHAT THE @#$%^&*
Azzie: No way. I paid the taxi to get to my place!
Cabbie: Your fault for not telling the coupon counter properly. This not my problem, yours la. So tell me where you want to stop?
Azzie: Since I paid to BB, you send me up to BB.
Cabbie: HAIYA. Wasting my time. You ah. Say like this for what? Could have avoid traffic, wasting my time.. wasting my time, nyek nyek nyek nyek....*Azzie was too tired to argue, and SWEARS TO GOD that she kept quiet the entire time*
Cabbie goes on nyek nyekking.... until...
BANG!!!
Cabbie steps out, Azzie steps out, ends up dragging luggage back to condo. The cabbie has banged his car into the bumper of the car in front.
Cabbie: You fussy woman...As if I said anything, you were the one fussing. PADAN MUKA (serves you right!!!)
And I walked home, feeling tired, but happy (sad, isn't it?). Haha. If you were me, I think you'd be ecstatic to walk home from there, escaping the traffic and the fuss.
3:02 AM Azzie's got style
