In a Deep Affairs with the Ojek Drivers

Imported notes from Facebook:

Called me being so dramatic about my situation in here, but to be honest my relationship with the ojek driver is very much in a dept, chemistric, and so much in mutual understanding. They who happen to be the marginalize urban citizen (most of them only depend on their income as ojek driver), is a hero for me. However having a house in Jakarta which takes at least one hour to reach the finger damned cursed machine make me so much in love and making this affair with the ojek driver became so long lasting (as I live in Cipayung, as long as I work in Lapangan Banteng), so let it be, let the deep affair continue as I let those 20rb for them every morning comparing making a statement in the paper why I’m late (gimme a break , u ask Jakartans why they late, oh please!!)



Its really not an option really to start the day at 5.30 and the catch the bis jemputan which is leaving the pool by 5.45 (two years ago it leaves at 06.10 am, I swear!!), Imagine the hectic and the traffic jam accumulation during 2 years in Jakarta, make me sick and vomit only by imagining the vivid long queau of the cars and vehicle even in the toll road!



Oh, what the title up there..Oh yeah the affair.



Why I said I’m in the deep affair is because I already use this mode of transportation for the last 5 months and from this experience I can say this is the most reliable, on time, and fast vehicle (if u like me, u catch the time every single day), why I did not bring it my self ?errr, I did I did, in this early year I do ride my self, and end up with fainteddddd every night , couldn’t do anything after work just laying down in the bed… so here I am better to have this affair long lasting, in mutual understanding (since I didn’t even said my route the ojek driver will recognize my face, bring the motorcycle to my direction and I came save an sound in time in the office)



Anyway sorry for the scattered idea of the writes, it just slightly cross my mind about this ojek driver, hmmm…anyway I guess they making good income too, one of the ojek drivers said he collect IDR 200rb a day (so its approximately 5-6 million a month) wohoooooo…..so???
