Sad... Sad.. Sad...

A few weeks ago, I got to know this taxi driver, D.. D is a man with a fiesty temper. Why do I said that...?? Well I remember clearly that night I was having a diffcult time to hail down a taxi.. and most of the taxi driver wouldn't want to pick me up because of where I stay BKC.. But finally at the last draw when I was about to give up, I manage to hail down D's taxi... But what puzzle me was there was a guy in front of me got into D's taxi.. a few minutes later the passenger got out..

So while on my journey back home.. he was complaining how rude the passenger was and why he refused to pick him up.. and poor me who was very tired.. just nodded my head helplessly.. but after a long talk with him.. I do understand why there were such a great hatre and sadness in him.. well the story goes like this : .............

" I have been working in this XXX co for over 20years as a maintenence ... My job scope was to do repairation on anything.. but as years go by things change and my workload are increased.. from a maintenanence to despatch to cleaner to gardener and many more things but my paid just increased bit by bit.. Sigh after doing so much things for the co.. I was begin fired as the director do not like him.. " sad for him.. and that's why there is so much anger and sadness in him..

I quite agree with him.. when he said why should we work hard and sell our whole life to the co.. when in the end they just shoot you with a gun and you are fired.. so he told me not to work hard but work smart.. and now I could see he is working hard for his family but not for anyone that is unrelated to him.. I do hope that luck and prospersity comes his way..

Before I reached my BKC, he gave me his handphone no, and he told me to call him whenever I want to take a cab home.. I told him I will and definitely will.. at least he wont charge me for calling him.. :)
