and today I have time to write something here or maybe not so lazy anymore...haha. It is a soundtrack day today.
last weekend vacation was a "not sure" thingy as mum had something to do, sis showed some disagreed and etc etc. I thought the whole family going until when I arrived back home then I realised only my dad, sis and I going. yea, I hate it...they always call me back for something which they didnt tell me specifically the itenaries. I need some judgement on how many clothes to pack and what to bring...haha.
I had a "nice conversation" with my dad when he picked me up from the bus terminal...about loan money and secure a job after graduation and etc :shock: not frustrated but funny...hahaha
and the same conversation when he sent me to the bus terminal again...uhh!

I wasnt up to the level the day before..no it was yesterday uhh mixed up all the days and even the subjects, I felt sleepy the whole day and ditched the morning class due to circumtances and so I slept early and woke up right after midnight when I heard some fireworks popping in the skies. My sister scolded me because I slept on the day of such a big event...it is the independence day today. I remembered I had the concept as last year. I woke up and had a short 'Merdeka Pool Party' with my friend before I slept back again. Well, it looked like it that I had a long sleep and woke up with a great feeling in the morning and started to pick up all the things that I need to be done.
I feel great :D

I got a funeral dream again and got realised that this month was my dad's mum 2nd year anniversary of dismissed ...err i cant think of the right word.
We were still stuck with the lab thingy...2 questions just couldnt clear any one of those and the lab tutor came and said ..."so, are you gonna give up?" No No No No....that was our answer and then went nuts a bit, me and my lab partner burnt the LED purposely. Voltage at that moment showed 3.5, I turned instantly to 9.0 to blow the LED but it didnt blow like we wanted "POP!" with a bit firery spark instead we were wondering why the LED had not show any symptom of burst and then suddenly quite lungsum of smoke came out from the LED. Oops, we didnt mean to intoxicate the whole class people but somehow we intoxicated ourselves. People turning and asking about the smell...and we went..."sniff...sniff...who is burning LED?" I wondered if our lab tutor saw it or not. Anyway...that was a bit silly and nuts...
sometimes, I couldnt sit still in my room, I just want to do this and that...walk, jog, walk, run, play...all these things drive me crazy. Sitting in my room only provoke me to sleep or hit my sleepiness and I just want to do something.
I took a stroll at the night market, enjoying walking and seeing the people and sellers as I was going to see them for the last time. It felt so real as if various interacting happening at one time, you just couldnt get update fast and much and wondered how can people get upset or sadden by just small things. Sad, upset, frustration, anger...all these things dont make it last forever...let it comes and go. someone told me life is a party. yea, either you smart partying or you get intoxicated while partying. Smart here ..doesnt mean it has to be intelligent, it is something more clear.
everybody sings.."life is a party, come on and have some party, lets celebrate the wonders...la la la la di da da"
ok, im off now...to skate and to run and to whatever...

I didnt know why I attended the maths class. The weather is good, Im tired and sleepy...it was a good thing to stay back and sleep but I did not. My eyes were sensitive to lights, no time to nap but I enjoyed walking to class. In class...dead! No any extra paying attention in front what was the lecturer yepping about...all I did was daydreaming and rest my eyes a bit.
Met with main ditch and Khalid on the way back and I jokingly said to main ditch..."why I happened to see you today? I supposed not to see you.."..hahaha.
and Met few others people...Radha, ex-housemate and Ramesh, waved from the car when I was crossing the road...ahh. feel good...seeing and waving..
now back home...eating, blogging and chat with my other burnt out friend..haha..still no time to nap.....have to get ready for 8pm class

o'so boring....I was thinking why dont they build a mini shopping mall or mini theme park or mini cineplex in the school or anything..games room, whatever as long as it is fun, can cure some sleepiness, boredom, stress and tension.
that guy behind the counter was a mathematical handicapped ... haha, he had problem calculating the price for my food and drink. He asked his assistant for help in the calculation and the assistant asked me about it....funny funny funny, we just had fun time calculating 1.20 + 2.00 = 3.20 and the balance money back 10 - 3.20 = 6.80...ahaha
Gloomy the whole day, light rain encountered. tired and boring 20 minutes before 12pm class, I told my friend that I wanted to run 1 round at the running track. They said they are going to support me. Without hesitation, we went over to the field. Light rain still pouring and I was in my attire with pants, jacket and stuffs...I ran. Every 50 meters I had to do a silly jump as requested by my friends and so I ran and ran and stopped at 370 meters. I knew that there was a bunch of people sitting up there at the stands watching when I started running and maybe else where too...I dont know...I just feel like running. We missed it...my friends thought it would be good if there was a video capture of my running...haha
About 15 minutes before my class ended..I realised I did dozed off a bit...haha

my alarm rang at 7am and I pondered a bit whether to stay in bed on get up. It was raining since 5am. Sleeping wasnt that good. I cant sleep but I slept...haha...sound ridiculous. I got a very messy dream. I was aware of it which make me feel like I didnt actually sleep at all....restless and felt like I was still chatting which added more the weird sensation after waking up.
Obviously I'd forgotten to off my pc and went flat on bed again until the thunder sound woke me up again. I was a bit afraid because I was sleeping on the floor and felt some vibration.
So, ponder and ponder...I was managed and no drowsy or anything, I went for class. I hate that class very much...haha. During that 10minutes break, this girl that I known earlier who was sitting behind me started a conversation with me, asking about maths mark and stuff. Im sorry...I cant help it but I kept looking at her newly plugged in braces on her teeth and she sounded so different with it. She looked cheerful today better than any other day. then, she asked me.."do you know that our maths lecturer Mr. Feras and our programming tutor Mr. Nebras are twins?" Then I said yea. She added later..."but i dont think so because they dont look the same"...well they are unindentical twins too. I didnt know what was wrong with me but I felt her topic sounded ridiculous to me as I had no mood to answer her questions and she kept asking me if I was ok...
and still she continued asking me animatedly..."so, which one do you think is handsome?" In my heart...I was thinking ..."Did she know that she is talking quite loud?" Obviously I was ignoring her then she asked me again if Im ok...and then she continued again..."which one do you prefer? are you ok with Nebras with black hair or Feras with blond hair?" I didnt know what she was thinking. She was attacking these kind of questions at me, early in the morning. Again, I ignored her and she asked me again if im fine. Then, she asked me again if I have spend all my rebursed loan money about 1K++. At last, I answered her last question.."No!" and smiled. I just dont know....but she just looked ridiculous to me today.

Practically I did nothing. The Weary head just made me want to sleep only. But I did some light yoga and meditation and read some books....of course not school books, something light-hearted...everything light even music

| TimeOut : wet weekend |
| 08.20.05 (11:46 am) [edit] |

I woke up with a terrible stomach pain and heard my friend keep buzzing me to wake up. Stomach pain was getting worse as I couldnt really stand properly and inside started to process of washing machine as I had to excuse to the loo for an emergency. I took a very slow walk to school, looked like half dead and almost wanted to just lay down on the floor when reached the venue. It was ok a bit after went into the emergency 'room' and still it distracted. It was hard to think to answer exam questions when have this kind of pain.
After exam, went to Jusco with my friends, walked here and there a bit and didnt realised it was raining heavily outside. Rain, rain, rain...we walked in the rain aboarded the bus and when I got down at my destination, heavy became more heavier as I took my slow, gentle, enjoyable walk under the rain...havent been walking under the huge pack of rain. It was good. Water dripped from the tip of my hairs, shoes all wet, bottom pants all wet.
It looked like my plan to runaway to someplace halted because of rain, stomach problem and helping to finish the project as I am some sort of an important person. damn....

I know why it makes me so hard to understand and have a blank look...because it is already full with words and add with some explanation...words again. I just dont see the big picture. My mind works at least in pictorial map. Draw for me something, I can figure it out. Thats why my programming class is a bit out for me.
Happy friday and happy weekend!

The ugliest mood just hit as what I wanted to see how ugliest can it goes and how it can be dreadful to me.
I started to get bored with schoolworks. They are endless, week by week, stranded here on the weekend, spoilt my plan for weekend.
sad...that I cant do anything, nothing can be cleared, nothing seemed to be right that lead to anger how dumb I can be and lead to bored that just didnt want to do anything, im not up on the 'good' level but I think it was a bad idea that I gave this excuse to my friend that Im in some kind of stamina or level to work things out...because they might not understand and they would think that I just have many attitude problem.
truly, work doesnt seem to be satisfied even if i'd force myself do it on that level and it would be more anger that the piece of work seemed to a piece of crap.
It is raining and cloudy here...I like it, have been hot for many days. It was the time again that all these emotional attachment...haha got to do something about it too.
forgive me if I cry a lot lately because I cant stop it from flowing
forgive me if I dont contribute much to my part of work
forgive me if Im not interesting in anything
forgive me if this is happening because this is what I wanted
forgive me if Im going to be mean

I got a dream...
A narrow space, hilly and at night, sometimes so small and narrow that it needed to be crawled. I dreamt about someone's death....no no no, actually there were 2 different things in the same dream, same place with same people.
Firstly, dreamt about celebrating one of my relative's birthday that I didnt have a clue who it was. She was celebrating her 150th birthday. I was waiting eagerly outside her house to see her come out but took a long time, guessed that she was too old to really move around.
dream changed...
someone's death...one of my relative's death that i didnt have a clue who it was or someone who was more up north in the family tree that I didnt know about it. We were actually setting up for the funeral, arranged the chairs and stuff as the space getting more narrow, I had a hard time breathing for real I was afraid that I didnt breath at all. The body in the coffin transported to the place with a train contena. I was a bit afraid because first time encountered such thing, transported by train and the contena already stopped infront of the road. I saw another tunnel that led out to a better area, with lights at the other end, the place was still narrow. So, I tried to go by that tunnel but I couldnt, the thicks reel at the entrance was a bit disturbance and caught me there. So, I cant go nowhere and was a bit horrified when imagined the train contena going to open and they would ushered out the coffin.
and so slowly, the dream disappeared and woke up.

A hot day! It was also a bad idea to walk in a very drowsy manner under the hot sun.
I had stayed up for 22 Hours, wasnt a record for me but im happy about it because I managed to beat thru the sleepy sensation and almost faint sensation because of too fatigue inside that you cant see.
By 8am, I laid flat on my bed and was awaken by this idiotic caller, couldnt fall back to sleep again and realised I had slept for 2 hours only.
It is going to 5pm now, im going to fall flat again...need to recharge, tomorrow is the burn out day.

Everyone was happy when we got the news that our midterm programming test for tomorrow has been postponed due to the haze problem in cyberjaya.
What else? throw the books, papers aside and focus on maths instead. Maths midterm is happening tomorrow. But I dont know..I dont feel like studying. It hits again.
yesterday class, lecturer was explaining about how to write CV and Resume and thought are we getting good results just to decorate our cv/resume? TRY to be active in societies just to fill the empty space of cv/resume? getting good results just to secure yourself a good place for working? how about the others...might get bad results...do you think they are not qualified or dumb?
zzzzzzzz

I felt weird when I got out from the house this morning for 8am class. It felt like I was seeing something, all these thoughts of what I had done or any person that I met running in my mind...all regarding about past.
I took a nap...a nap which I think was deep and got dreams. I think I dreamt something that I was performing in a mini concert which lasted for 2 days. I was wearing a butterfly suit or angel or bee..something got to do with wings. Then the following day, they were a spectator asked me how long is this concert going to last because they feel bored...haha...I saw my dad later, came and fetched me back, going in a road and only realised it had been blocked due to some possession and rehearsal. The road which didnt look narrow as we entered but now it was so narrow that only fit a car and to our suprised..the whole surrounding was covered with gold and saw a buddhist monk also in gold, controlling the traffic in front. All gold...and we let lion dances and the musicians also covered with gold clothes passed thru.
that's all..i woke up when my housemate was closing the door to school.

im trying to go back and to get all moods, feelings and etc before the weekend. The previous weekend was something that I didnt want to have in any near future. It exhausted myself.
As for now, I still have no mood in doing anything, want to sleep so much, fatigue, getting rid all the distraction and etc.
I woke up from nap, feeling not so good. Head a bit spinning and probably having the feeling of old feeling.."get up, dizzy and wanna cry"
I dreamt something. clearly I saw one of my friend in the scene with me. We were chatting for a while. She was eating some of my food. the first time I looked at my watch was 6.15pm. then, my friend told me that she got class at 7pm. so, I just waited with her until 7pm and then I looked at my watch again because I felt like..had been waiting for long and surprised me because my watch still showed 6.15pm before I realised my watch had stopped. So, I adjusted the leg of minutes to see if it had totally spoilt or temporary. Weird, one time adjust, the leg of minutes auto swinged anticlockwise with speed. I got a bit panic and then I heard my phone ranged, that was where I alerted a bit.
It felt like when the watch had broken, I cant go back which means I would be staying in the dream longer and so, when I woke up from my nap, my watch showed 6.15pm, the exact position from what I saw in the dream.

convo weekend = tired weekend = busy weekend = restless weekend = frustration weekend
It was a nice decent sleep but still wasnt feeling so good. Frustration strucked when people overshot the schedule of time or keep calling hurry up and etc etc
It was the day of the day. The day of celebration of academic excellency. A hot day. People who sounded negatively to my ears, turned me off. They couldnt get things focus one by one at a time. I know, im feeling a bit frust because my room was in mess. Mum came and chucked everything in the fridge..damn. Dad kept worrying about the eggs. I had no time for that. I can settled that later but not today. Mum wont finished mumbling around the orange juice. Mum words of 'what to do next' not interested me as it repeated when I met her at day, before lunch, after lunch, before going back. I had a bad hair day.
I always worries about my dad handling the camera because digicam just dont suit him. Small, versatile, light but still couldnt manage it. We just didint want things to repeat again after the disappointed videorecord my sis's convo by my dad, All shaky and dizzy.
I arrived there quite late, when it was almost started. Sweat pouring, into the hall, sat at the last row before moved to the front row, right in front of the stage. Procession started, national anthem sang, speeches, observed the chancellor if she was falling asleep or not...haha, more speeches, sleepy, e-scroll giving ceremony started with IT students, long, applaused, sleepy, bored, laughed and then our turn, diploma students. Before I knew, it was like a 5 seconds fame on stage and then that was it. Received e-scroll from school chancellor's Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Hj. Mohd Ali, wife to the ex-prime minister Tun Dato Seri Dr Mahathir Mohammad, special award, closing speech, school anthem sang, national anthem sang, photo session. Done!
Tired, relief zzzzzz...ahahahaha

Poles and rules |
|
|
& nbsp;In the fall of 2003 I was walking late one night through the center of Stockholm when I saw a woman walking along using ski poles. My first reaction was to think of some injury she must have suffered, but then I noticed she was moving quite fast and with rhythmic movements as if she were on a patch of snow – except that all that was around us was the asphalt of paved streets. The obvious conclusion was: “that woman is crazy, how could she pretend to be skiing in the middle of the city?” & nbsp;Back in the hotel, I mentioned the incident to my editor. He said that I was the crazy one: what I had seen was a sort of exercise called “Nordic walking”. He explained that besides the movement of the legs, the arms, shoulders and back muscles are also used to make it a much more complete exercise. & nbsp;When I go for a walk ( which is my favorite pastime, together with archery), it is to be able to reflect, think, look at all the marvels around me, and chat with my wife while we are walking along. I found my editor’s comment interesting, but thought no further of it. & nbsp;One day I was in a sports store buying material for my arrows when I noticed new poles used by mountaineers – made of aluminum, they are light and can be opened or closed using the same telescopic system as a tripod for a camera. I remembered the Nordic walking and thought to myself: why not try it? I bought two pairs, for myself and my wife. We adjusted the poles to a comfortable height and the next day decided to try them out. & nbsp;What a fantastic discovery! We climbed a mountain, then came back down, really feeling that the whole body was in movement, the balance was better, we were less tired. We walked double the distance we usually cover in an hour. I remembered that I had once tried to explore a dried-up stream but it was so difficult with all the stones that I gave up. I thought that with the poles it would be easier, and I was right. & nbsp;My wife got into the Internet and discovered that you burn 46% more calories than on a normal walk. She grew very enthusiastic and “Nordic walking” has become part of our daily routine. & nbsp;One afternoon, just for distraction, I also decided to get into the Internet to see what I could find on the subject. I was surprised to see page after page, with federations, groups, discussions, models and ... rules! & nbsp;I don’t know what made me open the page about rules. As I read I became horrified – I was doing it all wrong! My poles should be adjusted higher, a certain rhythm had to be followed, a certain angle of support had to be kept, the shoulder movement was complicated, the way of using the elbow was all different, everything followed rigid, technical, precise rules. & nbsp;I printed all the pages. The following day – and the others that followed – I tried to do exactly as the specialists ordered. The walk began to lose interest, I no longer saw all the wonders around me, I spoke very little to my wife, I could think of nothing except the rules. At the end of a week I asked myself: why am I learning all this? & nbsp;My objective is not to do gymnastics. I don’t think that the first people who did their “Nordic walking” had anything in mind apart from the pleasure of walking, improving their balance and moving the whole body. We knew intuitively what was the ideal height for the poles, just as we could intuitively deduce that the closer they were to the body, the better and easier the movement. But now, because of the rules, I had stopped concentrating on the things I liked and was more concerned about losing calories, moving my muscles and using a certain section of the spine. & nbsp;I decided to forget all that I had learned. Now we go out walking with our two poles, enjoying the world around us and feeling happy at seeing the body being made to work, being moved and balanced. And if I want to do gymnastics instead of “meditation in movement”, I’ll look for a gymnasium. At the moment I am quite content with my relaxed and instinctive “Nordic walking”, even though I may not be losing 46% more calories. & nbsp;I’ve no idea why human beings have this mania of setting rules to everything. |

Love traps |
|
|
The Caliph and his wife & nbsp;The Arab Caliph sent for his secretary: & nbsp;“Lock up my wife in the tower while I’m away,” he ordered. & nbsp;“But she loves Your Majesty!” & nbsp;“And I love her,” answered the Caliph. “But I respect an old traditional proverb of ours that says "keep your dog thin and he will follow you; make him fat and he will bite you." & nbsp;The Caliph went off to war and returned six months later. On arriving, he called for his secretary and asked to see his wife. & nbsp;“She has abandoned you,” was the secretary’s answer. “Your Majesty quoted a beautiful proverb before leaving but forgot another Arab saying that goes: "If your dog is tied up it will follow anybody that opens its cage".
Trying to control the soul & nbsp;We often think we can control love. And then we catch ourselves asking the completely useless question: "is it really worth it?" & nbsp;Love does not bother itself with that question. Love refuses to be priced like some piece of merchandise. One of the characters in Bertold Brecht’s play "The Good Person of Szechuan" tells us about true love: & nbsp;"I want to be next to the one I love. & nbsp;I don’t care what this will cost me. & nbsp;I don’t care whether this will do my life good or bad. & nbsp;I don’t care whether this person loves me or not. & nbsp;All I want, all I need is to be close to the one I love."
The measure of love & nbsp;“I have always wanted to know if I was able to love like you do,” said the disciple of a Hindu master. & nbsp;“There is nothing beyond love,” answered the master. “It’s love that keeps the world going round and the stars hanging in the sky.” & nbsp;“I know all that. But how can I know if my love is great enough?” & nbsp;“Try to find out if you abandon yourself to love or if you flee from your emotions. But don’t ask questions like that because love is neither great nor small. You can’t measure a feeling like you measure a road: if you act like that you will see only your reflection, like the moon in a lake, but you won’t be following your path.”
The contemplative quest & nbsp;Linda Sabbath took her three sons and decided to go and live on a small farm in the interior of Canada, where she wanted to dedicate herself completely to spiritual contemplation. & nbsp;In less than a year she fell in love, got married again, studied the saints’ techniques of meditation, fought for a school for her children, made friends, make enemies, neglected her teeth, got herself an abscess, hitchhiked in snowstorms, learned to fix the car, thaw out frozen pipes, make her alimony stretch out at month’s end, survive on unemployment money, sleep without indoor heating, laugh for no reason, cry with despair, build a chapel, make repairs to the house, paint walls, and give courses on spiritual contemplation. & nbsp;“And I eventually realized that a life of prayer does not mean isolation,” she says. “Love is so big it has to be shared.

Brilliant me...I slept for 2 hours and woke up around 8am, getting ready for the convocation rehearsal. My friend's on the way warning didnt seem to be arrive in 5 minutes, instead 15 minutes. She called me twice about the car rental thingy during my sleeping process. I wasnt sure if I did replied her correctly.
Journey entering Dewan Seri Negeri jam packed as all students come from nowhere for the rehearsal...haha. We sat way at the back and met my old ex-classmates. We couldnt hear what they were yepping in front. 2 hours briefing and then we out from there and back to campus to do smartcard verification and invitation card collection. Another shocking scene, long queue, so we off for some refreshment as we were dead hungry. We came back 2 hours later and no need to queue anymore..ahaha. Done with verification and card collection...that was it! done for the day...it is the time of some sort like reunion, meeting back their old friends and their main discussion is "what are you doing now?" they proudly can say that im now working at bla bla bla as a bla bla bla...
weather hot and we happened to witness an accident right in front of our eyes. luckily, the motorcyclist didnt flyover across the car when got rammed into the side of the car, only the helmet flew but still the motor broke a lot of stuffs.
Happy Friday..i think i need to catch up some sleeping. I dont know I cant sleep soundly. :D

haha...I must be a "freak long time no watching TV" caused I watched another movie called "Drumline" after waking up :D ...yea, bad bad idea to weep then sleep, my eyes were swollen..big and weird.
Nothing much, I just thought that if my sis would read this, she would start to comment.."do not do this, do not write that..." and my mum was mumbling all the way upstairs.."sleep early and etc etc" . Well, I had earphoned plugged on...INXS is playing at the moment. Oh, and my sis would be so interested If she got to find something on my blog, something about her, something bad about her...well, nothing really...
I had a weird sensation this evening..I saw something. I felt I was in the place. I was pretty much awake and later my head started get dizzy after the sensation...ahaha

Monday stayed at home and realised that I have something coming up for next week that I need to do....more tests and assignment due date...started to think about organizing some time...but in the mean time...damn, mosquitoes...I was so cured with mosquitoes bites and it happened again.
I watched this movie "Mitch Albom's movie 5 people you meet in heaven" and when almost end, tears rolled down my cheeks. It wasnt just a few drops but auto water-gushing out...hahaha. I was touched. Not a few but plenty of water. It was a bad idea to weep then sleep. I waited for a bit, to let it dry but if I have to wait completely dry, I probaby have to wait until 5am or longer...haha. Well, I dozed off at the end..

fully-recharged day as I noticed it when I was sleeping. I got a dream, transported me from places to places to recharge my energy and I saw I was physically fit and hype plus smiles. A day out of doing a little shopping and I realised that I was falling asleep on the chair while watching F1 on TV.
It was CSI : Super sunday...CSI : NY yea yea yea...was watching it and in the same time doing something on the pc. Watched "Lost in Translation", a bit dry movie, directed by Sophie Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's daughter which earned her a few awards, trying to watch it finish as I had watched it a few times, never get it done. Well, this time..it was still undone. I was falling asleep halfway thru, that show was going to finish at 5am.

ohh...my shoulder and neck ached. I had the sofa again for the night and feeling a bit weird, head heavy but still managed. I was hungry and had my breakfast that my dad bought. woo...I ate deliciously until at the end, I felt not good and said "i had finished my food, im full now..yuks!". I realised that this breakfast didnt suit my morning diet. I had a record for not coming back for 7 weeks and everything here just didnt suit me anymore. I used to have this thinking.."woo, going back..and gulp down all the food that my mum prepares" but now..."eww..bluek...yuks..no appetite"
Anyway, after that breakfast, my energy started to burn out little by little. It was very heaty and I still managed to go out for a car ride to the supermarket and KFC. By afternoon, I almost dead..hot and no electricity for 1 and half hour. My brain got dehydrated..haha. Eyes looked like Garfield. But that didnt stop me from eating ice cream still not giving a kick for me. But it surely did a kick for my mum, she had chocolates all around her mouth.
hot, laying on the floor..head spinning and heavy, eyes heavy, cant really sleep and managed to watch 2 movies "Down With Love" and a movie about running for US President.
At night, I was sitting on a rocking chair and still managed to comment on the fashion show...haha. It was the KL Fashion Week. Lazy, LAzy and weak to move around even for shower.
oh it was my mum's birthday. Everyone was excited for going out for a big feast but didnt happen..damn, no one had a mood for eating at home.

30.07.05 - A cloudy day but heaty. It was the last day before break for a break. I thought no one came for the lab class and everyone started to tease me that I was not going to get any bus ticket to go back home but I took the risk from booking any bus ticket in advance....
I took bus to 3 o'clock bus to KL instead there was a bus to Klang at 4.30pm...brilliant! haha, because I couldnt wait till 4.30pm and if I told my friend about this, she would shout at me, she couldnt bear to hear me saying about taking many routes to go back home and also couldnt bear me that I cant sit at home still, must go out for a walk.
So, when I happened to see that KL Tower and Petronas Tower...yes, I knew that I had arrived. From Pudu, I took a walk backwards to Times Square and took a monorail from there. checked my watch, already after 5pm, clearly after work...damn, that monorail packed like shit..shoulder to shoulder, assess to assess. I missed 3 fully packed monorail before I aboarded the next one. I didnt know that the guy standing in front of me was a blind man when he got down at Tun Sambathan Station.
Reached KL Sentral..oh yea, lots of human. Took KTM...another packed like shit train and worst...I had to pass 13 stations. My shoulder was aching and feeling tired. I know that there would be no place to seats until when the train reaches Shah Alam. That was the place where most people get their butts out there. yea, I was right...at least I rest a bit, my legs, my backbone...hahaha
