You calling Grab? Can I tompang.

I went to a seminar with some colleagues. When it was time to go home, A asked how I was going home as she stayed in the same area.

So I said that I will be calling for a Grab. A asked if she could tompang. I was taken aback and wondered what that meant. Did she mean sharing the cost of the grab? But nevertheless I was caught off guard and said ok.

During the ride, i kept thinking if she was going to say anything about sharing the cost. In the end, she did not but at least she didnt ask to be sent to her place.

I reached home feeling kind of disgusted. Am I wrong to think that A was ‘buay paiseh’ (not shy), cos this is something that i will not do.

I will not even wanna trouble anyone even if that person drove and offered me a ride. I always tell myself do not do something i dun want others to do to me.

I asked my family members, some agreed with me but some said I was too calculative. What do you guys think? Btw, the grab ride is from my own pocket, cant claim.
