Second Time

October / 21st / 2011
Weather : Rainy and Gloomy

I had a very bad headache a day before and was still hesitating whether I should go for the party or not... I just couldn't make up my mind and concerned about my health at the same time.

I finished my work at around 7pm and watched a scary movie with Silas (my co-worker and a good friend of mine) and left the work place around 8pm...

It was drizzling and I was waiting for a taxi for a while... managed to stop a few taxi but they would not want to go where I wanted... All they could say was it's too TRAFFIC!!! they didn't want to go through the jam and waste their time and fuel. Well,OKAY! I understood but how was I supposed to get there then?

After ditched by a few of them, I decided to take a public transport but we all know that public transport would consume more time and I wasn't sure whether I could get there in time or not.

Me being very indecisive for about an hour, there was a taxi!!!! WOOHOO!!! I told myself that this time, if he/she doesn't want to go.. I would just tell him/her to go to LRT station!

"Hello, could you go to Sunway Pyramid?, that's where the party was supposed be...

"Hm... I don't want to go there by meter, is that okay? It's very traffic on the way there... How much do you usually pay?"

HA! very tricky question! but I didn't have any idea how much it would cost... so I just decided to be frank about it.

"Sorry, it's my first time going there.. how much would you charge to get there?"

"25 ringgit.... "

"Hm.. okay.." I HAD NO CHOICE!!! he would go there and I didn't have to take public transport!

Even though I felt that it was costly but I double checked my wallet and sighed... hew....

"It's very traffic you know..."

"Yeah.. I had a hard time to get a taxi. Thank you so much! No one wouldn't want to go there just now..."

"Of course, it's raining some more. Drivers know the route and they wouldn't want it..."

I was thinking.. then why did you say 'YES' to go there ???

There was silence for a while and began conversation with him again.

"I just wanna to tell ya for information that it would be very traffic at around toll area and after that a few more jam then it would be fine. Today is Friday, people want to go out and have fun."

"Yeah..." I didn't know what else to add.

"Oh! you are going there for party, too! hahahaha"

We had a long talk withing 10-15mins then I recognized his voice... I know this voice... it sounds very familiar.. Where was it...

"Miss, where do you stay?"

Since, he didn't seem like a person who would harm me and I answered his question.

"Oh! You are the Korean girl!"

Freaky... but wow!! he remembers!

"Wow! you remember where I am from? I was wondering as well, because your voice sounded very familiar to me!"

"Of course I remember! It was during Ramadan month, I was wondering where I saw you.. You changed your hair style! that's why...!!!"

"Hahaha...."

"I am just a part-time taxi driver. I driver my boss's company car and only after my work, I take a taxi and drive. You know sometimes, you would want to work during weekend as well, right? Well, it's another way of making money... hahaha"

"Yes... it is..."

Then, I noticed that the meter was on... from there on, I couldn't stop looking at the meter and kinda worried if the meter rates higher than the price he asked.

"25, right?"

"Yes.. don't worry."

On the way there, there were a few break down and accident which caused more jam on road.

It almost took an hour to get to my destination.

The taxi rate wasn't high and I payed a reasonable price.

"Thank you and take care!"

Though it was a long journey, I didn't feel exhausted or annoyed by the jam.

I was truly grateful for him and his kindness for sharing his experience and for his GOOD memory!!

hahaha!! Good day everyone!
