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....
