i have so many to talk about
suddenly i didn’t know
which one should come in next
*
and i think it’s easier to
transfer all photos to my laptop
and sort them out
before i start blogging
*
instead of looking around
for photos from my phone
*
okay let’s rewind
i departed on Saturday
got a 10:30 AM bus ticket
to the airport
it takes about 2-3 hours max
*
so it was estimated that
i’ll be reaching around 1 PM
and have some time to
lunch and loiter
before our flight at 4:15 AM
*
but shit happened
the 10:30 AM bus didnt’ come
because the bus broke down
*
so the person in charge
led us to the counter
for a refund and assumed us that
we can catch another 10:30 AM
with another bus operator
*
basically there are only two
which run service between
Melaka and KLIA1/2
and they kind of form agreement
*
company A runs buses on
10:30 AM / 12:30 PM / 2:30 PM
while company B runs buses on
9:30 AM / 11:30 AM / 1:30 PM
and so on
*
but someone came
saying that 10:30 AM
was not available
*
okay fine
you guys can get 11:30 AM
that would be still okay
i guess
*
so we were queuing
at Counter B for 11:30 AM
however while queuing
was told that
the tickets were sold out
*
so the next would be
12:30 PM with company A
*
what the hell
and I decided to just
catch a 11 AM to KL
and transfer to the airport train
KLIA Transit / ERL
*
so i got onto the 11 AM bus
a couple and a solo traveler
from China were following as
they have trust in a local like me
*
so we reached TBS
around 1:15 PM
and i was waiting for them
i know i have to run for the train
but feel bad to ditch them
just like that
*
i found out that
the train ticket is quite pricey
having informed them
the solo traveler decided to
just go with bus which is like
so much cheaper
*
and she was not
really in rush as
her flight was at 5
and it was a domestic flight
to Langkawi
*
so i left
with quick pace
by the time i reached
the train station
and checked out the signboard
next arrival was like in 0 minute
*
okay fine there’s no way
i can make it
so i just took my sweet time
at the vending machine
and the couple caught up with me
and i bought three tickets in total
*
thank goodness for the machine
or i doubt i even have enough cash
to pay for one ticket
and there’s 10% off
*
the next train
would be like in 30 minutes
so i took my own sweet time
i can’t remember when was the last time
i took this but it was like half the price
*
Melaka – KLIA by bus = 25 MYR
Melaka – KL by bus = 10 MYR
*
KL Sentral – KLIA by train = 55 MYR
KL Terminal – KLIA by train = 38 MYR
ridiculous right
*
so i just hanged out
talking to the couple
they are from Suzhou
and were also heading to
Langkawi
*
i seriously don’t know
what’s good in Langkawi
because I have never been there
chocolate and alcohol?
*
but i nevertheless
made it to the airport by 2:15 PM
which was like okay
*
grabbed some buns
and a bottle of Coke
and off we go
*
