"I'm a hazard to myself


Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
It's bad when you annoy yourself, so irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else


I wanna be somebody else, yeah"

I've heard many stories of Malaysian taxi drivers and their hustle-y way of tricking tourists and people they think who wouldn't know the difference.


So today, I've had my first encounter.


I get a cab and the first thing he says to me after I tell him the destination was,
Cab driver: Usually, how much do you pay to get there?
Me: 15.
Cab driver: Oh yes ah? If you take a cab from pyramid, it'll be 17 ringgit you know.
Me: It's 16.80 to be exact.
Cab driver: Whatever la. Same thing.
Me: (EXCUUUUUUUSE ME?)
Cab driver: So, (insertwhereilivehere) right? Where? Tricourt?
Me: No, it's not. It's infront of (insertpopularsundrystorehere). I live in (insertapartmentunithere)
Cab driver: YA LAAAAAAAA. Correct laaa, what I said. Same road as the pasar malam laaaaaaaaaa.
Me: (decided not to argue and shut up. if he thinks it IS, so be it. was gonna prove him wrong anyway. idiot, i've been living here for 16 years, i THINK i'd know my neighbourhood by now)


In the middle of the journey, he nearly makes a wrong turn. and I realised the meter wasn't there.
Cab driver: You live in 1A right?
Me: NO! I live in (insertapartmentunitthere).
Cab driver: Oh, I thought you said 1A.
Me: (asss. of course you did.)


We finally get there.
and he stops the cab. pauses and says
Cab driver: 25 ringgit.
Me: 25??????? You didn't say that earlier! And you don't even have a meter!
Cab driver: Oh, Sunway cabs don't use meters.


AS IF MOTHERFUCKER. I wasn't born yesterday.
Me: I always pay 15, and the most is 17.
Cab driver: I drove all the way from Sunway College. It's very far. From Pyramid its already 17, from college it should be more expensive!


Urm, excuse me IDIOT. But the cabs in Pyramid use the ticket system which means they go through an Agency first. You go to the cab ticketting agency booth and get the ticket. So duh, its gonna cost extra. It doesn't mean that the COST is more.


Cab driver: I cannot give you 15.
Me: (signature death stare. i was fucking fuming)
Cab driver: But I can give you for 22.
Me: I've never paid 25. I've never paid 22. The furthest I've gone was 17.
Cab driver: Ok la ok la. 20 la.


I pay the cab driver.
He says "thank you".
And I reply with a "fuck you"
And I slam the door to that ugly piece of shit's face.

Stupid internet connection was being a bitch yesterday.
Thats why my post is 24 hours late.
Anyway,
all I wanted to say is Happy Anniversary, Mi Amor.
Wow, one year flew by us so fast.
It's been one heck of a ride, and I enjoyed every single second of it.
I love you.

Fuck, these 2 make a hot pair.

Omg, I have SO much to tell you guys.

You know jack about me.
So don't you fucking dare and talk to me like you know me.

Everytime I watch a good movie, I get obsessed with it.

So last night, I watched V for Vendetta.


I had been wanting to watch it for ages, since it came out a couple years ago. But my mother didn't think it was suitable for me to watch cause she got put off by the title. I was 14 then.

I just realised I'm 18 and I can watch whatever movies I want without faking my way through.
Yay.


V for Vendetta is about the near future, what it would be like if a pandemic broke out.


(COUGHCOUGHbirdflu)


The United States no longer exists.


And martial law is back in power. (Ugh, how 70's)


But of course, there's always a rebel just wanting and waiting to cause trouble. Rebels are sexy. Especially this one. He wears a mask and has incredible vocabulary. An intelligent bad boy, hmm. Sounds familiar. ;]
He's a modern version of Guy Fawkes, with the swords and the cape. Don't know who Guy Fawkes is? Shame on you. Go read up on some history.


This is the movie Natalie Portman shaves her head for. She still looks good without hair. Ugh, so jealous.

Funny person: I know the way laaa. Trust me. I have 'photogenic' memory (:
Me: Urm, photogenic?
Funny person: YES! :D
Me: I think you mean PHOTOGRAPHIC.
