we were already at the Mid Valley train station
  before 8.30 pm
   
  this clock display
  is the only clock which lies to you in this world
  because the departure time 
  kept changing and changing
  a delay after another
  that you would soon give up
  
   
  and as usual
  the train was packed to the maximum
  I was carrying this cup of Ribena
  the cup was crushed 
  and oh damn, before I knew it
  sticky, sweet juice started to leak through the plastic bag
  thank goodness grabbed a plastic bag in time
  and wrapped it up
   
  luckily reached Serdang train station by 9.15 pm
  my condo bus is supposed to be here by 9.30 pm
  heaved a sign of relief
  far too early
  because the bus didn’t come at all
  what’s wrong?
   
  okay this is the first time 
  I was waiting for this particular bus 
  at this particular time
  did it few times on Sunday
  the bus was never late
   
  oh damn
  don’t tell me
  they have canceled this Friday night service
  because too little people are using it
  or maybe they just substitute the bus
  with a mini van or something
  maybe the bus was here, earlier on
   
  anything anything
  the truth remained 
  the bloody bus won’t be here anymore
  since it was already 10 minutes past 9.30 pm
   
  okay chill
  think of something 
  
  somebody who would pick you up
  some place nearby to bunk in for a night
  some public transports to get home 
   
  last resort is of course
  the cab!! 
  yeah I will never know cab service is that important
  always thinking it is for the rich foreigners 
  till the time I really need it
   
  there is this taxi counter outside the train station
  so this is what they do
  just tell the clerk your destination
  pay for it
  and she would issue a receipt
   
  basically, it’s a pay-before-riding system
  standardized fare 
  which I think is pretty reasonable 
  and relatively safer 
   
  the cab driver even asked me
  since he saw me walking to the 
  how much did the guys in front was asking from you?
  forty bucks?
   
  no I didn’t ask them
  I just missed my bus
  guess he mean the other taxi drivers 
  touting for business out there
   
  alright
  it was a darkened moment
  but did not last long
  
   
  on the cab
  I already thinking
  how I gonna compile this post
  just can’t wait to reach home
  early and safely
   
  why would I let such a petty issue
  ruined my perfect day
   
  saw a great car
  while being driven in another great one
  saving me from commuting on two buses 
  saw another baby blue one, too
  too far to be snapped 
  
   
  the great gift 
  which was quite a surprise
  thanks, man
  
   
  a great note in baby blue
  written with great care
  reminding what I am not supposed to forget
  during my trip back home
  
   
  not forgetting the great food
  
   
  the great loots
  and the great mission accomplished 
  
   
  and more importantly
  the great friend
  
   
  why bothered to let one single things
  ruin the seven good things I have had today
            the choice is all mine
  
   
  and on the other hand
  30 bucks is nothing
  just imagine
  *wood-touching*
  if I lose my camera, Mr. Lexis
  with all the great photos in there
  that would be more devastating, isn’t it
