Raining. Again.

Oh, Raining ......
I woke up at 09.15 and found that the sky was so dark outside. Great! I was late again and it would be raining soon. I rushed to the bathroom and took only 10 minutes there to wash myself up. The rain falled before I finished dressing myself. Too late... no needed to hurry now. I got no umbrella, and there was no any single umbrella in this place. I could not call a cab, I got no amount left on my phone. *haiiyaaaa...*
It was 10.00 am and it was still raining constantly. I sat on the porch and smoke my cigarette. *impatient*

At 10.20 the rain was not so hard anymore. I took my chance and walked out to the street. There is a kiosk rokok with a large hut, I bought one package of my cigarette and stood there waited for my cab. 10 minutes passed by. All the cabs which passing was taken. Always like this... at the moment you needed them so much! I knew it!
Then an available one came out from the building across the street. I gave a sign to the driver and the cab headed toward me,.... oopss,... did not,... that bastard driver did not stop in front of me but went further and stop in front of a fancy stylist young career woman- ow, I bet she did try hard to make herself looked like an executive one- which actually stood 5 meters away from me. I didn't see her before. Shit! Stupid asshole driver!! I was the one who was standing closer! I saw his cab first! This really was not fair! Why?? Because she looks expensive and I'm not?

So, I waited there for 5 minutes more. So Frustrated. It was now around 10.45 am. My suit was half wet already. My legs were getting stiff and pain a little bit. And I felt like a fool by standing there too long for nothing. A yellow metromini stopped right in my front. I stepped in though I did not really like to take a bus on this weather.

Ok, I'll make it short. Finally, I came at my work at 11.25, soaking wet.
Why should I take this so much effort only to go to work??

November Rain

Bulan Krisis Taksi di Ja(botabek?)karta *

Kayaknya hari ini ada gejala2 maok hujan lagi. Setidaknya mungkin nanti sore. Dari tadi pagi langit memang sudah keliatan "anyeup", man! Alamat bakal sengsara lagi nyari taksi, nih! Bulan ini taksi kosong susah dicari dan seringnya nggak bisa di-order via telpon lagi. Hujan atau pun tidak hujan sama saja.
Tadi pagi gue perlu nunggu 10 menit buat dapat taksi kosong.
Pulang kemarin gue turun setengah empat sore, dan baru dapat taksi jam empat kurang lima. Kalau saja telat lima menit pasti gue kebagian hujan yg tiba2 aja turun lagi dgn derasnya. Bad- but I was lucky.
Gue inget, yang paling sengsara itu hari Minggu sore kemarin. Sama Remon dan Nina kita tunggu taksi di jalan dekat ke pertigaan antara Ps Mayestik- Radio Dalam- Jalan Lauser. Lima belas menit kita berdiri disitu. Saat itu traffic memang padat total. Kesal, kita jalan pelan2 menuju pasar burung barito dan berdiri menunggu lagi sepuluh menit disana. Tidak ada hasil, kita jalan lagi pelan2 dan menunggu persis di pojok jalan Barito didepan bakmie Akoen. Sepuluh menit berdiri disitu hasilnya sama saja. Zero. Kesal2 akhirnya gue nawar bajaj kosong yang kebetulan lewat ke BlokM Plaza. Dari lobby BlokM Plaza baru kita dapat taksi. Kesel nggak sih? Hanya untuk mencari SATU taksi kosong diperlukan "sedikit" jalan2 setengah jam lebih! Gawat nih Jakarta,...
