KL

now i'm here in kl....

freaking plane experiences turbulence so many times....felt like puking..luckily movies kept me company...Stardust is nice!!No reservations as well...=)

i'm such a movies addict..muahahahahha

woohoo!!reached kl night before last night...

seeing that my family of four had TOO much luggage the reception at the budget services told us to get 2 taxis which was bout $135 in total (the other choice was the van which was$180..=p)..me and augustine rode in one taxi while adrian and my mum rode in another...
our REALLY nice and funny cab driver noticed our seperation and revealed that we could have taken one budget taxi which was cheaper!!he told us that that taxi had a modified interior specialised for max of 4 ppl and lots of luggage.grr....

but anyway, we talked bout his experience as a taxi driver...

he was actually previously a BANK MANAGER....i repeat...BANK MANAGER with 9 tellers under him.but the stress and high blood pressure he encountered from all his work led him to quit his job...he then got to know the roads in KL through the tau ket service and then upgraded himself to the airport services...he says he earns MORE money than when he was a BANK MANAGER...hahhaha

what a worth while change...

he told us of one of his regular customers...from Japan.This Japanese couple comes twice a year to KL for two days at a time...2??all the way from japan...an average or RM 5000 EACH for only the PLANE tix...he says he drives them to their hotel from the airport.after a night at the hotel, he would drive them to Genting in which they gamble.then they go back to Japan!altogether , he says, his transportation services cost(with tips) RM500...once, the cab driver asked if he lost or won at Genting and he revealed that he lost RM20,000...that Japanese guy was as quoted "calm and still smiling"!!That couple must be filthy rich!ah...

He told us plenty about his life as a airport taxi driver for the past 2 years...having even to drive to penang and Terengganu before which takes about 4 HOURS each!or even learnt Thai through his Siamese colleagues...frustrations as a taxi drover...for eg. there was once this Iranian family family who asked the taxi driver to carry their bags up 5 floors at their hotel.of course the cab driver refused to seeing that it's not his job and that the bell boy could do it.Then the Iranian said to him," We're Muslims and Muslims help each other." *laughs...The cab drier told him that this is malaysia and we do not discriminate any religion, colour or race!

THAT's a true Malaysian...hehehheh

Anyway, yesterday was ok i guess...ate breaky at the hotel and lazed around in the apartment till 10 o'clock.went to BB plaza and shopped till bout 2...ate lunch...(prawn mee noodle...yum...)then me and my mum headed to back to our shopping(we expanded our vicinity for shopping to Lot 10 as well)till bout 7...then we meet up with my father and bros who went swimming before...
ate dinner and spent the night watching television...
