Getting serious with my taxi man!

Ah! Today I came back from Rawang which is REALLY REALLY far & inaccessible..and if not for the fact that I got to eat Sinthi’s mum’s cooking, having FJ there, ..and erm…erm…*i’m forced*…and for Sinthi’s company, I wouldn’t freaking go there. Lol. Just kidding lah babe, I would still go there. But pls, next time, go bend or sth at the Komuter so that I won’t have so much problems getting back home! Hehehehe.

Anyway, then went to MV to do a little shopping (which was neccessary for UK), and then since I very malas to go home with all the stuff on the very packed LRT (this was around 6 pm since the damn komuter "gagal" *right fj? haha* halfway and left us stranded in Sg Buloh!) so I took a cab home.

And I had a very interesting taxi driver. He was a young guy, in his 20s, I think, and he was a graduate in Computer Science but had to work temporarily as a taxi-driver due to lack of job opportunities.

Well, anyway, although it was a long ride with the traffic and all, it was a very interesting one. He told me that quite a lot of female customers are not very open, and the first thing that goes through their mind when he tries to be friendly is "Eeee….mengorat!". He also said that taxi driving pays more than a fresh grad in IT! Haha. Can you believe that? What are we doing studying for degrees? Learn how to drive good enough! (sorry, not exactly in the mood for grammar…)

Hmm..I wanted to blog more about all the stuff I talked to him about…but now it doesn’t seem so interesting! It was more of a discussion lah. About oil-prices, influence of western culture, politics, prejudice & racism, etc. Yes yes, all very DEEP. ANd yes, I have a very DEEP topic I want to blog about later too. But that will be for later.

ANywayz, I thought it was funny that I could actually carry on a rather sophisticated and deep conversation with a taximan whom I had just met. Seriously. And some people whom I’ve known for yonks…I still can’t do that! Why eh? Is it the approach? The mannerism? Or the person itself?

Ahh…klah. I think all the deep conversation has extracted so much outta my brain that it refuses to correct any grammatical or spelling errors..so pls..bare with me, ya?

PS: Wahahah..what did u guys think when u read the headline! I mean, c’monlah woman!!!!!!

    i just hope i don’t fall into the category of ‘non-deep conversationalist whom i’ve known for yonks’. heheh
    and don’t let the cover fool you. i’ve met some really intelligent taximen. but they’re just like regular taxi drivers in terms of driving. they’re scary. and the reason the rest of us need to get degrees is coz we’re accident-prone. hehe

    Hahahhaa….
    No no no, qian. Of course you’re not one of those superficialists-that-i’ve-known-for-yonks…haha. C’monlah, don’t u remember all those times when u slept over when we talked abt all sortsa stuff…from serious things like theology to nonsensical crap like how Nicky locked himself in the coffin? (Think future-telling game!) Haha. We have some good times to look back at, eh? Hehe.
