yesterday..
Yesterday was nice!We went and sang K’ at Red Box, Plaza Lowyat. With few juniors and seniors as well. Surprisingly, we started at 3pm and ended at 9pm! That was the first K’ marathon I’ve ever had.. Phew~ But I really managed to release some stress.. although most of the times, I was sitting there and enjoying the songs.. Haha.. Before enjoying the photos taken in Red Box, I wanna share a story with you. We took a taxi from UM. But the taxi driver had earlier told us that he will charge an additional RM2 as it was lunchtime, and the area was claimed to be very congested. And, so we agreed to him. Thinking he was quite honest at first. During the journey, he drove into another road which in turns making a large round into highway that was so unfamiliar from where we used to see. Into tunnel and things like that. Which we believed he surely had tricked us! We realized it even better when he once asked us where we are from. All of us either from the south or north. No one is from KL. That proved to him even clearer that he guessed we’re not locals. We do not know the ways. When we have almost reached, we decided to dare him of his untrustworthy attitude. We exclaimed that our friends taking another taxi had reached far earlier than us. Furthermore, we said they had taken the short route and no idea why did he drove such a big circle to reach times square. He kept standing firm on his feet, saying the road was jam and surely will take much of our time to reach a place. And kept saying, mana pun jam.. *gosh* Finally we had reached. The metre shown it was RM15.30. Yeap, plus a RM2, total would be RM17.30. But he said he charged RM18.30! An additional RM1 because 4 person in the vehicle. It is obvious, he was really trying to charge us more! But our boy friend sitting at the front gave him RM17. He insisted that the driver to accept the money because we’re right in doing so. Driver did not let it off. He kept insisting that we should pay RM18. In the end, our boy friend stepped out from the taxi and asked us to enter the mall, ignoring the driver. Under the circumstances, me and mingLi was fearing that the driver would chase us and ask for money. Eventually, both of us ran so fast to get away from the scene. However, xiaorong and the guy were so calm and steady. Really aweful.. especially when we found out our friends in another taxi only need to pay RM8 something to reach the same place!!! At 9 something, we were so alert when we choose the right taxi. We wish to avoid being cheated. When we reached UM, the total is just RM9.70.And he did not charge us additional for 4 person in a car. Malaysia… such an uncivilized country.. *sigh* |
