Morning downpour in KL.

I went to the bank this afternoon during lunch time and when I’m done with my banking, it was raining heavily. Geez. My office is just walking distance away from the bank, HSBC Jalan Sultan Ismail (near Bukit Bintang). Fuck. Its just about 300 metres down the road.

So I’ve got no choice but to take a taxi. I know it would be costly for that distance…. maybe it should cost about RM2.60- 3.00 ?! But heck, no. When I got into the taxi (reg. no: HWB 5694), the cabby told me RM10.00 !! What the fuck!?

G: Menara Promet !
Cabby: Ok. RM10.00 !
G: What?! Its just nearby.
Cabby: Yeah, I know. But this is what I charge tourist.
G: Do I look like a tourist?
Cabby: Ok lah. RM8.00 is final!
G: Aiyoh, its just nearby. Why you’re not using the meter?
Cabby: We’re doing tourist only.
G: But still….?!
Cabby: ……..
G: ok. RM5.00. I’m giving you a lot already.
Cabby: Ok ok ok lah.

I’ve got no choice…. there were about 5-6 taxis without passenger passed by looking at me helplessly. Argghh, fuck those taxi drivers.

So… to all Singaporeans….. I respect your taxi service. Vietnamese, I respect your taxi service !!

Anyone with KL taxi experience to share?

We went to The Curve and Ikano today in the afternoon and drop by a big optical shop, FP to look at some spectacle frames on promotion. I decided to buy a new specs as my specs is getting outdated and the coating on the lens is peeling off.

To cut the long story short, I’m just glad to have my Szer with me for she had saved me 60 bucks for just 0.4mm of thickness of the lens. For just 0.4mm, i was almost conned by the shop for 60 bucks but Szer made the sales assistant speechless with all the precision measurement and I saved 60 bucks.

There are two type of lenses I can choose from and I chose the RM260 one for it is thinner and lighter I think. The other one is RM200 and the difference from the Rm260 one is the thickness by 0.4mm .

Man, how can I get conned so easily?! Arggh. Anyway, thanks dear.
