The Good and Not-So-Good

Dear readers,

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, then take note. (If not then ignore this la.)

Be prepared to be reading complains about bus taking for the whole year.

Don't blame me.

You know how exhausting it can be. Or maybe you do not know.

I don't expect you to. But I'll love to give you some idea about that. That is, if you are willing to listen =)

To begin with, join me in my journey. First off, wake up around 5 - 6am for each early and morning class. Proceed to the bus station, squeeze yourself into the space and sometimes when you are unexpectedly lucky, you get to sit. And when you're not, you stand for at least 20mins. Note that you're not consider lucky everytime you get a seat because chances are that you will have alien sitting beside you --- which is worse.

Fortunate enough, the one who sat beside me today was a young man at my age la.

For my case, I'll have to stop by a station and walk to another. It might sound pretty simple but when you take traffic into consideration it won't be as easy as you think. Try to imagine a highway. A highway with cars? A highway with cars travelling at speed of 100km/hr?? A highway with many cars travelling at speed of 100km/hr??? 3 highways with many cars travelling at speed of 100km/hr????

Bingo, you got it. I'll have to cross these highways to get to my station. Nevermind the distance.

Actually it isn't that bad. The most frustrating part would be the waiting for the bus. To be honest I don't mind waiting but weather is so hot in Malaysia and the roofs aren't doing much to help. And what's worst? Pollution. Since I'm like... standing by the roads, the vehicles are generous with their supply of carbon monoxide. Immediately after reaching home, I spotted pimples formed when I looked into the mirror. Horrible. Not to mention the terrible smell of smoke and gases la. Pity my lungs.

By the time monsoon season comes, I'll be complaining over getting wet and all the inconvenience.

Argh.

You blissful people who don't need to suffer like me be grateful a little.

With traffic jams, sometimes I reach home in more than 2hrs time. I nearly dozed off in the bus and missed my station. Sleeping on the bus is so ruining my image la, good thing no friends on the same bus.

When I got back home,

well-tempered = bad-tempered

Uh oh,

University life is definitely a lot of fun without the bus riding scenario.

Girl, i seriously know what are u going thru now, i frequently take bus when i was in my form 4 & 5 as nobody fetch me to & fro tuition. The bus is like so not punctual, fresh carbon monoxide filling the air, & even u get a seat, it may be an alien sitting beside you. What sorts of people you also can see on the bus. Cheer up k.. at least you don't need to walk lor.. haha~ Look at the bright side & ur day will be better.... =D

looks like living in selangor ("relatively near school") isn't better than living far away from home although near school (live in hostel/ rent rooms)....|||
