CNY part 1: The trip.  

Posted by y. 源

Wth. CNY ended so fast. Back in LGK. And going for flying in 2 hours time. But before that...

updates!


The trip back to MLK was not a pleasant one, again.

First, the ticketing machines. There were at least 10 of them installed but only two working. Hundreds of people queing up in rows of two. What was supposed to be a 5-minutes queue ended up to be 20minutes. Lovely.

Second, the LRT cars. Not enough at all, really. The first trip it came at 2035, it was already packed full with 'sardines'. Only twenty people or so came out but hundreds wanted to go in. I was pushed out.
A girl who managed to squeeze in also came out 10 seconds later cuz she couldn't stand the smell of the men surrounding her.
This is also one of the problems for females using this kinda sardine-alike train service. Sexual harassment is unavoidable in this condition. Oh yeah, pick-pocket too.

Third, punctuality. Need to elaborate on this? Better not.

Anyway, bus to MLK was scheduled on 2100hours. I reached Pasar Seni at time 2055. With the guitar over my left shoulder, a sling bag over my right shoulder, a laptop bag on my back, one hand luggage, I ran as fast as I could towards the bus station only to find the bus already gone. Sh*t.

I saw a guy shouting "kl jb kl jb, kl melaka kl melaka" and asked him when is the next trip to mlk.

"Bus kat sane tu. Baru je jalan! Mari!" He helped me carry my luggage and both of us ran to the bus which was like 80m away.

I hopped into the bus and paid 15bux. Sweaty and tired. I slept like a pig minutes later. Reached home at midnight already.


What a day.
