Happy CNY to all the chinese people out there!

i just got back from kl last tuesday. took the monday night bus and reached singapore at about 6.30 am tuesday. luckily it is still the holidays and there weren't a lot of people at the immigrations checkpoint and on the streets.


i am surprised that chinatown is still packed with people even though it is the CNY festival. looks like some of the local chinese people didn't go back to their kampung or hometown to celebrate with their family. instead, they still carry on with their businesses entertaining the tourists and locals alike.


i didn't do much shopping. but the others did major shopping like there is no tomorrow. so i spent abit of time waiting at starbucks and some coffee shops. it was relaxing though. hahah!


and when u are in malaysia, surely u will indulge yourself in food and glorious food. my other aim of this trip is for me to gain weight too! so we'll see how my weight in a few days to come.

actually, i wasn't sure whether i could go for the trip because of my current collarbone condition. i was thinking of going there with a wheel bag so that i wont have to carry it. but the bag is small and i chose to bring a big backpack instead. it was uncomfortable to carry the bag only on my left shoulder but guys have to tahan right. hahah!

i thought it was going to be the start of a bad trip because we missed the bus to KL! the bus was supposed was supposed to leave at 3pm but when we reached there at 3pm, the bus was gone. so we went to the counter where we bought the tickets and asked where the bus is. the lady at the counter told us the bus is at another platform. initially, our tickets stated that the bus was at platform 20. and she changed it to platform 18. so went back to platform 18 only to find out that there is no bus there. so we returned to the counter again and enquired. the lady looking panicked called a guy who looks scruffy to handle my problem. and he came and said:

scruffy guy - "sorry but your bus just left." ( talking in bochap manner)
me - "but we just reached exactly at 3pm and how can the bus leaves us without waiting?"
scruffy guy- "the bus leaves exactly at 3pm and u are late. sorry cannot do anything about it."

at this moment, i was going to say the F word but i kept my cool. but in the end, i had to argue with him.

me - "eh.. i know the bus will at least wait for 10 - 30 minutes for the passengers and now u are telling me that the bus suddenly wanted to leave punctually."
scruffy guy - "yes brother... we wont wait for people one. the bus leaves on time."

i had a good reason to complain because the platform where the bus was supposed to be had changed at the last minute. and how can the BUS NOT WAIT FOR US????
in the end, i told the guy to get us the bus no matter what. we did and got a very decent looking bus which looks like it was chartered by some third party company. i had no comment about the ride. it was just freaking uncomfortable. full stop.

this is for that man and all those people trying to cheat us -

DAMN IT! YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT AND CHEAT MY MONEY! NO FRIGGING WAY BECAUSE I AM NOT STUPID U BUGGER! I KNOW U SOLD OUR SEATS TO OTHER PEOPLE AND BECAUSE YOU SOLD IT, YOU HAD TO SEND THE BUS AWAY SO THAT WE WONT BE ABLE TO BOARD IT. YOU STUPID LIAR. YOU THINK I DONT KNOW YOUR TRICK. I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE EXCUSES AND BY SAYING THAT THE BUS LEAVES ON TIME WHEN WE REACHED ON TIME PROVED THAT YOU ARE A BAD LIAR.

honestly, i would have said the F word in my blog. but i'm just afraid i have young readers who chanced upon my blog and see atrocious languages.

anyway, it was good to know that the trip didn't turned out bad or worse after that incident. i only wished that these people just wont cheat passengers. i mean, what if there is a poor malaysian who needs to go back to his hometown urgently and found out that his bus left way to early or there wasn't any bus at all in the first place to go with. and he would have to fork out another amount of his hard earned cash just to get back. stop it sia this ticket sellers.

no problem when we returned home.


just a bit tired from the trip (-_-)
