my most expensive cab fare EVER!!

almost 25 freakin bux!! i don't believe it..
i was sick this morning..i don't know why..just felt very pukish and generally unwell.
i probably should have turned back and went home while i was still not too far from home
but i guess i was hoping it was just a passing discomfort..but no
the moment i reached the office..i headed straight for the bathroom..and threw up
i'm surprised i actually puked out stuff..coz i only had like 3 bites of bread
*sigh
it was sick..i felt so weak after
later i requested to take the rest of the day off.
decided to take a cab home..although i knew it'll cost me abt 16 bux to do so
i just wanted to be home as soon as possible so yaa...waited awhile before i finally got one
the cabbie apparently wasn't familiar with my estate..and me..despite having an 'in built compass' - i tend to remember directions and routes.. but that was useless coz I DIDN'T KNOW THE ROAD/EXPRESSWAY NAMES!!!!!!
*more sigh
so mr cabbie didn't get the route i was trying to tell him so he suggested going by another expressway. by then i was too tired to explain myself further and went along with his suggestion.
on a usual day with normal traffic..the ride would take me about 30 mins? and cost me $16-18

BUT NOT TODAY

there was a jam..a terrible one
apparently there was an accident
so we were stuck in very slow moving traffic for like more than half an hour
-_-
i was getting impatient and sick and anxious - coz i only had $17+ in my wallet!! i mean i wasn't expecting to be stuck in a jam!!!! so i asked if they accepted NETS for payment and the cabbie said yes
so anyways after a LONG LONG LONG time stuck on the CTE..we finally got out of the sticky jam.. i can't believe how smooth the traffic was after we passed the 4 damaged cars on the road shoulder!!! i would think that coz the traffic was so slow..it must have been a pretty bad accident blocking parts of the road but Noooo.....
-_-!!!!!

so anyways i made it home..after almost an hour of traveling..i almost didn't make it coz the cabbie almost missed the exit to my estate..
yeaaa..tried to pay by NETS but i think his machine is meant for credit cards..
so i had to go upstairs..took an extra 10bux from my sis..then went back down to pay off the cabbie.

*sigh*

ergh..i should have got the cabbie to go by the way i'm familiar with..
but it's done and over..so no point crying over the extra money & time wasted..
but yaa..just had to post this!!
