history + scam

Dear friends,
You can rewrite history, but you can't rewrite your essays! So let's hope history repeats itself and allow our marks to be as golden as the age of capitalism. Study hard and don't hope for a miracle - for a crisis follows swiftly after one!

historyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! if i were to describe international history with one word, it would be 'unlucky'. having studied everything BUT china, they just have to test us china. nice. but overall it wasn't that tough a paper just that it's uncertain whether i can score well enough.

and a taxi driver scammed funx and i today. after dropping mel off at her home area, we proceeded to wander around in the taxi until we realised we weren't reaching our destinations. so here's the conversation funx had with the taxi driver.

fs: excuse me, where are we going?
td: *acts shocked* i don't know! where do you guys want to go? you never say, and i thought you guys dropping off at the same area as that girl. but how i know you never drop off?
so he's justified to bring us around singapore thinking we had no destination??? nice try ya.
fs: er, but nick told you just now what.
td: huh? really? i never hear. *hmphs* you never tell me how i know?
an awkward silence ensued, pulsating with shock and disgust at such obvious false pretense and desperate attempt to earn a little more money.
nick: ok ok never mind. can you go to ...

and so it ended. and we were quite obviously piffed off at being scammed. by that time, the meter was running above $15 excluding surcharge and we weren't that close to our homes either. usually, each of us just have to pay $5 or less for a trip from school.

but above the issue of the cash lies the scheming and dishonest attitude of the taxi driver! zzzzzzzzzzz i think funx and i were too trusting, never thought that baldy would try to scam us. ok ok shldn't go into personal attacks here. never thought that the man blessed with hair deficiency that attracts the gleaming rays of sunlight, and upon the incidence of its apparently smooth surface, fashions a literally stunning sight that many would love to touch, but not have.

in fact, the thought of getting cheated never even crossed our minds. we were still reeling from the completion of the essay marathon.

ok sian. it's time for maths.
