a class in UM

Filed under: Travel — khailip at 8:34 pm on Monday, August 15, 2005

yesterday went to kl again to buy books..took the 830 bus and reached there around 1030..

when i reached pudu..straight away bought the ticket home…dunno why…of all the time available..i chose 730pm..maybe influenced by daryl..

anyway…after that i walked to pasar seni and took lrt to central…then took monorail to chow kit…then walked to kamal bookstore…bought a psysiology–guyton and hall…caused me rm 195

on my way back…while walking on the street…saw a malay aunty holding a child on one hand and a plastic bag on the other..i think she juz finished the fruit in it…the tong sampah is juz 10 feet ahead…but she suddenly bent down..trying to sumbat the plastic bag into the drain… damn tak bertimbang rasa man…set bad example to the daughter some more….and the most stupid thing is she wasted more energy trying to sumbat the plastic bag when she could juz walk a few step and put it into the tong sampah

it was oni 1130…long time more before my appointment with hang seng..(my senior and a great friend)…so went to klcc..ate nandos…and walked around kinokunia….and bought a magazine….till 230 pm..

then took lrt to universiti stand…took the bus into UM….and waited for hang seng whose classes ended at 4 pm…

we sat down and talked for about an hour…can see that he’s doing quite well there…have many friends…

unfortunately…he has a lecture at 5 pm…so he ajak me to join him…haha..tak sangka man…got chance to be in the same class as my senior….

the lecture hall is so big…the lecturer won’t notice me anyway…the subject is TISAS…tamadun islam something something something…..throughout the lecture can see many people sleeping…others doing algebra…engineering stuff..and others..some even discussing wat to eat for dinner..typical lecture senario..the lecturer’s voice is monotonous…the perfect tone for sleeping…..she spoke about jahiliah…pra islam..etc/…. ..me and hang seng were drawing in our papers…haha..

the lecture is till 7pm..30 min before my bus…planned to juz walk out before the lecture ends…sth i wanted to do for a long time…but the lecturer was hungry…so she ended the lecture earlier…juz as i wanted to walk out…

rushed to the bus stop..waited for bus…till 705pm..but still no bus…kan cheong adi….so took taxi…but traffic jam..i saw the lrt station…so wanted to walk there …but then the taxi driver refused to let me go…he said: "nanti jam kat depan siapa nak bayar?” …but in the end he saw my kesian face…so let me go…paid him rm 3….was nearby oni…could have juz walked…

no time adi…so crossed the road tergesa-gesa…almost dilanggar kereta…twice…

715 on the clock…1 min more…was in lrt..keep looking at the clock…was the oni one sweating….

723..reached lrt station…(pasar seni)…was the first one to run out of the train..almost ran into 2 australian…i said "excuse me"…and they smile: "it’s alright…keep running.."

728..ran across petaling street….hate myself for not able to run faster….my mom called…but i cancelled her call..

i knew i won’t make it if i go up and ask the platform…so juz went down straight away where all the buses are…juz as i was about to enter the place…a transnational bus written "MELAKA" was driving out…stopping at the junction…

i quickly knock on the door..trying to tell him i’m one of the passenger across the glass…he open the door and ask…"ya?”

i was breathless…all i was able to say was " MELAKA!!!"

he smiled….and said: "naik, naik!"

i wanted to show him my ticket…but instead i took out from my pocket a resit i got from the bookshop…he smiled at how clumzy i was….he said.."takpe, masuk dulu"..

he talked to himself…" itulah, orang melaka nak balik melaka….last minute baru datang…."

was glad that i made it in time….slept in the bus becoz was too tired…when i woke up…the bus was juz reaching the tol….
