Miss The Bus X Nobody to Ask: Back Home, Last

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

KTM display board

 

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

the cab receipt

 

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

great car

 

the great gift

which was quite a surprise

thanks, man

cola can glass - pink

 

a great note in baby blue

written with great care

reminding what I am not supposed to forget

during my trip back home

reminder note

 

not forgetting the great food

peanut butter milk toast

 

the great loots

and the great mission accomplished

the loots

 

and more importantly

the great friend

the great friends

 

why bothered to let one single things

ruin the seven good things I have had today

the choice is all mine

oh my, i camwhored a lot today

 

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
