Taxi drivers
Thursday, November 20, 2008
Did my last shopping spree before leaving KL for 1 month.Luckily, Dada went out with me.She gave lotsa suggestion on what to buy for my family and friends as souvenirs.
But, do you need souvenirs from KL. Who hasn't been to KL before?
What you get from here is what you got later in your place.Basically, it is the same thing.One thing unusual maybe,the price will mark up at your place.
Back to my condo. Taxi cost about Rm5. It is really a short distance. Our hostel is situated behind Sunway Pyramid and Sunway lagoon. When I first came to Sunway, I am shocked when they told me that the taxi fare is Rm5. Bloodsuckers!
It was raining.We were forced to take taxi.On the way, Freda told me that she wants to go back to college. She handed Rm5 to the taxi driver.I asked her,why did you pay him Rm5 again?
She said this is the payment. Gosh!,the condo is just less than 100m away from the college and what you have to do is just do a U-turn and you'll get there!
I felt sorry for her. I'll treat her Yokomon when I am back. Haha.
She arrived and 2 girls got into the cab. One is going to Lagoon View and another to Elephant walk. The taxi driver said, Rm3 to lagoon view and extra Rm1 to elephant walk.
For your information, lagoon view (next to the condo) is even nearer to the college and Elephant walk is beside the condo.
One of the girl turned to him and fret in a very serious and rude manner
Girl: What? You have to charge another Rm1 to elephant walk? We are just student la. We are not business people. You think earn money so easy ah? Goodness,this is the easiest money you can earn in your life.
Uncle: Sorry la girl, I just earn Rm14 from morning till now you know? You don't have to speak to me like this....
I forgot the rest of the conversation. But I am on the girl side. Seriously, taxi drivers nowadays are really too much! Blood suckers! They run their taxi using gas which is much cheaper than petrol. Basically,they don't need petrol. What worst is they keep urging you by saying "Come la, you won't get another taxi now,traffic jam la. This price is cheap already!"
I used to be curious why taxi drivers in Malaysia is rated the worst in the world. Now,I understand why!
I left the cab and I have a sensory glance on her pile of books.
No wonder, ACCA students. I should learn from them.
