KL Bad Experience

Back home after a 3 day 2 nite getaway. My god. It was supposed to be something relax but ended up feeling so stress on the first day when i arrived at JB larkin station. Cant believe it. I have been to KL from JB many times and this is the first time i felt so lost there. I got cheated by the bus operator. Grrrr...

What happened was, i arrived at abt 1130am last saturday, thinking that there will definitely be bus to KL. I walked ard the station to look for the earliest bus departure. To my surprise, the earliest to leave was 2pm. Some even sold out their tickets while others touters are like shouting there are tickets. hahha.. I have purchased tickets from touter before, eventually i ended up in KL quite late. So decide to buy from booth.

Never did i know i got cheated. The bus was supposed to leave at 2pm, i was at the platform since 145pm. No sight of the bus! Waited and waited, till 245pm. I sense something not right and went to the sales counter to ask. This malay lady shouted and said i should wait at the platform and not the sales counter. Then she mumbled some malay which i dun understand at all. Feeling lost, she brought me back to the platform again. This time she said i wait at the road side.

I felt so uncomfortable and think something is really wrong. I text my friend and even want to cancel the trip. However, thinking of all the oppt cost, i must continue the trip! I went to look for another operator, this time a chinese operator. The bus will leave for KL at 430pm. I got no choice but to buy one more ticket while waiting for the one tat is supposed to leave at 2pm. By 4pm, the earlier bus is still not there yet.

The 430pm bus was at the platform at 4pm. I boarded the bus and eventually arrive almost 9pm. Can you believe it? The trip to KL took me 12 hours. I left my house at 9am in the morning. There was a slight jam at the immigration counter in JB. Its a long weekend so many Singaporeans are heading to Malaysia.

In KL, the room that i got also had problem. The aircon malfuction!! Really bad la. The room was hot! I asked for a change. Thankfully, they gave me a higher room this time, from 25th floor to 30th floor. hahahha... The room is so much cooler lor. And it was almost 1am tat time. hahaha.. I cant believe my luck was so unlucky. Then on the last day before i head home, my specs broke into 2. hahahha... Really hor....

However, the trip to KL wasnt that bad. Thanks to my friend's hospitality. We went ard shopping and gossiping. hahhah. It was nice. Had some nice food too. The room had nice view too. I could see KLCC and KL Tower from my room after the change. hahhaa.. I even watch movie from the first time overseas. hahha... That's something that i dun usually do. Nice experience. Probably i have been to KL many times so its fine to catch a movie or two. hahahha... Other than the bad experience, i still enjoy myself.

Oh yes, i took a flight home. hahahah.. It was really fast and comfortable. More reliable. I reached home late at night. Quite tiring but still better than taking a bus. hahahha... I guess i shall be taking flight the next time if i am going KL again. lol....

KL Again

Finally time to take a short break again. I have been so tired at work recently. There are times that i still have to rush ard. Rushing is still ok for me, what irks me is the pple i meet. If i meet some nice and understanding pple, it is still fine. However, if i meet irritating pple, it kinda of piss me off. No choice. There is nothing perfect in this world. You cant always have good pple ard you. hahahhaha... I understand.

There are reasons why i wish my private life to be stress free to. Sad to say, sometimes it doesnt work tat way too. Family, friends, relationships add more burden to my ever stressful life. hahhaa.. I have been trying hard to destress, sometimes it just backfired. I prefer to lead a stress free lifestyle after work life. I think its hard cos afterall, the reality doesnt allow you to do so. Some things just couldnt be changed. Suck thumb!

Anyway, i will be going KL this time. Hmmmm... Been a few years since i last went. I miss the food!! Hopefully my friend in KL can bring me to some nice and good food. lol. I am going to relax myself fully. Its a good time to get away from home. hahaha... Enough of shitty stuff! Will be taking a coach up to KL. Good thing is, i will be flying back! hahahha.. Never tried flying back from KL. Should be fun i suppose...

It will be another round of war after the trip. hahahha.. In the mean time, i shall take a back seat. Will be off till next tues. Whoooooo... Fantastic! I hope i will have more time to blog when i am back. LOL.

Colleagues

I met Chen Bang Jun and some star search finalist in the gym earlier. wahhahah... Seems quite a friendly guy. I was finishing my workout when he came in. He gave me a warm smile and i smiled back. Seriously, some pple are rude, they ignore ur eye contact n pretend not to look at you. Here, i mean colleagues. And yes, Bang jun is my colleague.

I have decided to head to the company's gym cos i was lazy to go PF. I had a late assignment, so stayed back to gym. There werent many pple. Met another colleague but din tok much. We were too busy running or doing weights training. By 9pm, he was gone and i was all alone in the gym. Good la. I feel more relax and enjoy the gym all to myself. It was ard 10 plus when bang jun came.

Was at a colleague solemnization ceremony last saturday. hmmm.. My boss said her hubby looked like me. Some colleagues agreed. I guess the side view. hahhaa.. When i congratulated the couple, i told him and he said, probably we are brothers. True enough, we took a photo, his wife, also my colleague was like OMG, so alike. I was like .....

They were christians, so the solemnization was held in a church. I almost lost my way cos i took the bus in the wrong direction. grrrrr.. I hate townlink buses. I din know how they work. hahaha.. In the end, i got a cab n rushed to the venue. Thankfully, i was in time to see the ceremony.

There were songs, preaching and signing of documents. The female pastor is quite cool. She posed few questions for the couple and ask them to re-enact what happen during the proposal. Wow. I din know her hubby propose to her at the Great Wall of China. hahhaa.. Sounds quite interesting. There were also photo whoring. As usual. The buffet wasnt tat bad. Quite a good spread. Congrats to the newly wed!

Mad Rush

Just got home after nearly 12 hours of work. I was once again performing stunts! Rushing skills requires a lot of stamina and energy. Woke up pretty early this morning. Thankfully, mum bought me some wanton noodles, if not, i would be starved in court the whole morning. It was a long wait. Really. Some of my other friends were grumbling to me.

Came back office before 2pm. Finished my stuff quickly before heading for lunch. Then something cropped up. The system was down. I had to do some other stuff to save the situation. Grrrr. By the time i was ready, its time to go off to another place. There wasnt even a time for me to sit and chill a while. Cant hv coffee break lor.

There were good dinner served in the late assignment. Sad to say, i dun have the time to eat. Before i knew it, my colleague was rushing me to head back office. I got no choice cos i have to rush for deadlines too. When i see all the lovely champagn and red wine, i was like omg. I wanna have a sip too. hahahha...

It will be another rushing day tomolo. Its a colleague church wedding in the morning. Then in the evening, i will be meeting a friend for coffee session. At night, its the usual session. Last week, many failed to turn up cos it was larry's and jaden's bday. I couldnt make it in time for their celebration. I finish work late. In the end, i went with some other friends to dbl o n met up starhub. Tat guy's friend almost got into trouble. I even became a hero for the nite lor. So happening. Time to sleep. Try to update whenever possible. lol

PF turns TF

Lazy lazy lazy. Yep. I have not been updating my blog regularly. I always have a lot to say but sometimes, i m just too lazy to blog about it. I had another busy week. As usual, hectic n running ard. Have to cover some of my colleagues duties when they went mc. Well, no choice. Though busy, i still had a little time to myself.

I was sleeping the whole day yesterday. Dearie msg me and i was like in my dreamland. When she finally came, i woke up. hahhaa.. Weather was cool so i decided to nap. As such, i skipped my gym routine. whahahha. I went this afternoon instead. I love wkdays afternoon. The gym is quiet and i could work my way through.

Speaking of gym, PF is now known as TF. It is undergoing some renovation and upgrading, creating a lot of inconvenice for the members. What irks me a lot is when one of their sales staff or personal trainer come ard seeking for feedback. It is ok to give our feedback. However, the thing is their feedback is to sign up one of their PT packages. I am like... Can you give me some time to myself?

This friendly staff approached me twice. I told him he had spoken to me before. He said oh, i am just trying to see if i could help you more. Well, sound nice. He asked what my aim was when i came to the gym, how PT can help. Sigh. I visit the gym not only to keep fit, but also to relax and chill. If i need a PT, i would have got one long ago. I am not there to become some muscular man lor. hahahhaha....

Since the place is undergoing renovation, they have rearranged the equipment. Vivo branch doesnt have a large floor space. After some shifting, the gym looked so cramp with equipment all over the place. I remembered when i first came, i love the gym so much cos it was spacious. Secondly, it overlook Sentosa. Now, it look more like a condo gym. With all the equipment pack side by side, walking space is limited.

Even the free newspaper were gone. hahaha. There were copies of papers for members to read if they decide to chill. Too bad, they are all gone! I wonder if TF will reinstate these services when the upgrading is completed. Members' interest should be put to priority. I wonder how long the entire upgrading will go. Hopefully, when it's completed, it wont disappoint me.
