Where should i even begin? it was a lousy weekend in which I had a heated argument with my parents that resulted in me apologizing to mom later on for my unacceptable behaviour, and dad has insisted to watch with me this testimonial CD from church and later asked me bout what i think and whatnot...But i shall digress...
So yesterday i had ventured into town ALONE...dun be confused with the capital 'alone', cause ive always go downtown alone, but this time it wasnt the same! Yes, i didnt drive to town, i voted for the PUBLIC TRANSPORT instead, can u believe it? and becoz of that, ive got much to share with you guys of my experience...
No, i have yet to set on such expedition, and never alone too, the last time i remember taking a PT was during new year eve, when there was road closure and jams and crowds...My friends and i have taken this monorail to enter the city. And yesterday, out of the blue, i dunno what came over me, but i jz thought i would wanna try this PT thingy, haha...The truth is, it has been raining vigorously these days and flash floods was reportingly arousing my concern, my dad has warned me not to go into the city unless necessary, since you will potentially be caught in a massive jam...But i had wanted to go to PWTC to visit the PC fair, one glance at the sky and the gathering dismaying clouds gave me the idea of actually taking the PT...So, after church, i drove to the Taman Jaya LRT (light rail transit) station...there was no crowd, and i thought that was a good sign, which means i MIGHT get a place to seat, and boy, i was so wrong...
I accessed the barrier with my Touch 'n' Go card and thought how convenient it was...i cudnt understand why no one (and literally there wasnt anyone who use the card) would use such a brilliant service, for one, you dun hafta queue up for tickets, and for another, i thought everyone should have one such card (i.e. if you have changed your IC to Mycard, which i havent)...
sorry for the digression, but the previous day i had actually taken the LRT to KLCC due to a massive crawl at the federal highway, and i had ended up paying a 10 dollar car park fees at the KL Central...in other words, travelling using PT isnt another way to save cost, you ended up paying more for it...(i dun hafta pay parking fees at KLCC, since i always spent more than 100 at Isetan to be eligible for free parking)...I met my friend and we had lunch at Dome before going for shopping...
That was Saturday, coming back, i had taken the train to Masjid Jamek station, that was when i got so disgusted with the fellow malaysians (i beg ur pardon, i dun mean all malaysians)...I CUDNT get out, or at least barely make it in getting out before the door closes, coz THEY jz wouldnt let me...before i could even attempt in that struggle, ppl were pushing their way in, oh kewl down, ppl, it's not like you are never gonna get in without a pushing tournament...there were few foreign tourists who witnessed this, and i neednt tell you how 'impressed' they were of such typical malaysian culture...another thing that got me pissed off is that ppl are actually taking the seats reserved for the elderly and handicapped, i saw these indian young men who was seating at the particular reserved spot and apparently fallen asleep when an elderly was standing in front of 'em, i guess not being able to see her justified their selfishness...Utterly shameful on 'em...
On another note, one thing that i can nv bear to ride on PT is the STENCH....i can really recommend these Stinky ppl few of my favourite EDTs, how'bout Armani Mania for a start? Or White from Emporio Armani, CK Truth and eternity, Rauph Lauren Romance, Hugo Motion, Tommy Hilfiger Freedom, Issey Miyake, L'eau par Kenzo....and the list goes on and on....at one point, i hafta stand with my hand on my nose, and the other on the handle, i really looked pathetic, but the skunks are all around me, trust me, even women smells like a mixture of sweat and smokes and goodness knows what...
I continued my journey by exchanging from Putra line to Star Line, i didnt know which side of the station i should be going, since there was no indication of the destination in platform A and B, i found out when i was at the wrong side of the station and hafta make a dash across the road to the other side...Poor system...at one point, my card wont access the barrier and the guard jz wont let me go until he has cleared all of the other passengers, i spent another few minutes with him bringing me to the counter for investigation, oh c'mon, it's jz a couple of dollars for goodness sake...
I eventually got to PWTC, spent some time there and gotten myself an external CDRW-driver and some CDR...I later went back to the station, took a detour to Titiwangsa station, and then jumped on the monorail heading to Bukit Bintang....i really dunno where i got all that strength from, since im now carrying a big packet that weighs like 6 pounds or so...and u know how packed PT is, u could never get any place to seat, or at least i didnt choose to seat, jz let the folks to seat all they want...arriving there, i sent my HP to fix, got on the train, i headed for Bukit Nanas station, after all the enquiries of coz, since im not a regular PT user...
When i got off, i hafta walk a mile (im exaggerating a lil', coz im so pissed!) to the so-called 'connecting' station to Putra line's dang wangi station....i was so exhausted when i got there, imagine walking under the scorching sun, i was jz glad it wasnt pouring...I eventually got back to my car after embarking on such an extreme journey, and i told myself, there shall be no next time..... :)

Hey Dude, this is what I have to go through every single day of my life. Every little you say is true. So I've developed a system where I'd only stand near the exit doors every time in order to fully make it out of there in time. There was this one time, a lady did not let me pass and there were several other behind me needing to get out. So I pushed her with my hips and she went flying to the left! See, got space for her to move her fat ass! LOL!
LOL, i would love to see you do that, coz i so feel like doing it myself...these ppl are so inconsiderate...
