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
