A Delightful Trip

Tripping about with my two gigantic bags, i got in the cab and there i was, on my way to school.

I woke up at 8.30am.(Yes, my lab starts at 8.30am) I rushed out of the house with a freaking sore throat and blocked nose and not forgetting the two heaviest bag in the world. The moment the cab drove off, the taxi driver(we shall call him Cik Ahmad) started talking to me. About life, school, government.

He's a freaking lucky man i tell you. He used to earn over $5000 per month. His two children are living in Melbourne. I know one works for Quantas. He earns like $9000 per month! Like WTF mate?! Oh yah, and not forgetting his wife. She does all the normal things a housewife do. Clean the house, takes care of the kids, cook for the family. Guess how much the husband gives her every month? He gives $3300. And his son in Melbourne would give her $2000. I didn't know housewives earn so much!

So yah, this cab driver was blabbering all about his family, money then he went on to talk about the government. About the COE prices that have gone down. About the baby bonus and all that shit. That's when i realised that i have to catch up with the daily news! I have to start reading The Straits Times. Got to keep myself full of all these knowledge. I'm planning ot start reading the daily news starting next week. Who knows... Maybe i'll start updating you guys with all the news that's happening around the world.

Fare : $11.20. I've reached school. I took my two huge bags and stubled out of the cab. The driver did enlightened my thoughts for a moment there.
