And so its October now.
Back in London again. Sorry i havent been blogging in a looooong while. Why? I wish i could say its because i've suddenly attained a social life and i've been out of the house more so have no time to blog. BUSY LIVING MY LIFE WOOHOO, but yeah, no. I've just been lazy. Gone were the days where i blogged about every single minor thing and random thought. nope, now its just. ): no post at all. Does anyone still come here? *cricket sounds* well.
Short entry anyway, just so theres something for the people who DO still come here occasionally. Just so you can be pleasantly surprised!! YES, LIMAY UPDATED. NO MORE SAME POST STARING BACK AT YOUR FACE. Put your hands in the air like you just dont care! party rockers in the house toniight? hmmmm, so.

'so how long will you be staying here for?'
'oh 9 months, im a student (:'
'It says here that this document is forged.'
'what? No its not.'
'well, it says here that your passport is forged. this is a forged passport.'
'No, its not! Try again!'
He scans it again.
'You are holding a forged passport.'
'I swear it is NOT FORGED! Maybe you should take off the cover.'
He takes off the cover and scans it again.
'Its forged.'
'No its not. i assure you ITS NOT. Try another computer!!'
'How many computers do you want me to try? I've scanned through over 2000 passports on this computer and so far there hasn't been a case like this, so that means your passport is forged.'
'Its NOT forged! Im serious!! its nooooot, just try again!'
'Yes it is.'
'No its NOOOOT.'
'are you challenging an immigration officer?'
'No, but it really isnt forged. ITS REAL.'
'Just kidding.'

Do i just look bully-able or something? wasted a whole 5 minutes there. HAHAHAHA Gosh! But anyway. Taxi driver was pretty shit! Su ean, suet and I shared a cab, but we each got dropped off at different places. Taxi was prebooked and the price was fixed at 80pounds. but when he dropped me off (i was the last) he told me that he had to make a few turnings (all his OWN FAULT for missing turnings) and then said,
'i dont know what to tell you, its supposed to be 80 but i had to make big circles so yeah.'
so i said. 'okay. so how much is it then?'
'well its supposed to be 80 but.'
'this is 80.'
'yes, yes it is.'
he gave me a dulan face.
'how much do you want then?'
'give me 10 or 20 more.'
so i handed him another 10.
so i said. 'okay. so how much is it then?'
'well its supposed to be 80 but.'
I handed him 80. I mean, its not our fault he went the wrong way. he has freaking GPS and the other time we pointed out to him the way but he didnt follow and now he wants to blame us? plus its supposed to be FIXED price, you dont just pull that shit on people okay. you just dont. thats not how you do business!! ): but i was alone.
He looked at the money and counted.'this is 80.'
'yes, yes it is.'
he gave me a dulan face.
'how much do you want then?'
'give me 10 or 20 more.'
so i handed him another 10.
Gah. then he had the audacity to ask me to hire him again the next time i need a cab. Seriously dude? SERIOUSLY?

HAHAHHHAA immigration officer bullied you? XP
And about the taxi thing omg i'm so pissed as well. The other day i took a taxi from oneu to bu to collect something. So i got on the cab, and told him where to go.
Was wondering why on earth was he driving so slow, and when i asked whether the cab rate is based on distance or time, he changed the topic by pretending to honk at other drivers for being 'unreasonable'.
It didn't really matter whether he answered me or not because i found out in the end anyway. It was provided on a sticker by the window, saying that if it's below 20 km/h the rate would be based on the time, and if it's above then it would be charged based on distance.
I've taken cabs from oneu to places nearby before so i KNOW the rate shouldn't be more than rm 6. But that asshole deliberately drove at 20km/h the WHOLE TIME. Even though there were no cars in front of us. I asked if he could go any faster he ignored me. And then he even pretended that he couldn't see the road sign so that he could make a wrong turning and charge me more. I was so fed up I said, "turn here. HERE. YES HERE RIGHT NOW"
I was damn pissed, the moment we arrived the price was around RM 9.50...? From oneu to bu. wth. AND HE EVEN ASKED ME TO ROUND IT UP AND PAY HIM RM 10.
I said, "No i'm not gonna do that. I KNOW what you were trying to do. I read the cab rates"
He tried to defend himself by saying that he was actually helping me to save money because counting by distance would be more expensive (BULLSHIT) but i told him i'm not stupid, laughed sardonically, and got down of the cab.
I should've given him the middle finger.
