Decided that i was too exhausted to survive a 45mins train ride yesterday and flagged for a cab instead. I plopped in because i was that tired and cabbie said WELCOME! im like omg, save me. But he continued with his chirpy voice saying he thought i was a guy, and was i working late.
And i thought to myself, firstly, wrong thing to say about me looking like a guy, and secondly, it was kinda rhetorical to ask someone at 10pm if they were working late. So i got abit grouchy but he was a brave man and went on.
He talked about working for 4 days a week and the 3 remaining days he would always go on short trips with his wife. Just last week, he went Pattaya and the week before last he went Pahang, rode a pony, saw dews on leaves and ate a really huge watermelon. So i wasn't impressed but i pretended to be. i did the usual oooo ahhh whoaaa cooolll sure sure..
Then he talked about his wife, and how it isn't difficult to fall into temptation and find a girlfriend/mistress on the side, but he said, i am already so happy with my wife, we are married for 40 years, why ruin, okay he said spoil, the happiness that i already have and enjoy a month or so of excitement.
Then he went on, this August, it will be our 40th wedding anniversary, my children and I are going to surprise her. "We are taking her to New Zealand and i am going to have a candlelight dinner with her". He really sounded so happy that i felt happy for him and his wife.
I even felt all fuzzy inside. which was weird.
So there i was wondering after i got out of his cab, would i ever be like him?
p/s: Cabbie thought Physical was spelt with an F. i almost tweeted. ALMOST.
