My Train Journey

Have been traveling on weekly basis for almost 3 years. It's really tiring. I think it is about time for me to take some rest. I am tired on traveling, I am tired of the "mm seh dak" feelings whenever I say goodbye to my family members and my dear. Cant afford to be apart with them anymore. Tired of facing 4 walls alone in my rented room after work, with no internet connection. Hate the feelings of eating alone, and that's the main reason why I skip breakfasts and dinners.
Buying coach and train tickets in advance is another headache for me. I have to keep track on long weekends, or school holidays and make sure that I buy the tickets 2 months in advance! This year is considered 'not so tiring' for me because I changed job, and I take the straight bus from SG to KL. 2 years before that, due to my "kiamsiap-ness", I go all the way to JB to get my express bus to KL because I can pay in Ringgit which is much much more CHEAPER! If I take a straight bus from SG to KL it will cost me $33 (around RM80), but if I take a bus from JB, it costs me about RM30 only!!! Can u see the different? RM50 different!!! I can save up to RM200 a month!!! But it takes 2 hours for me to reach Larkin (JB's bus terminal) from Singapore. I really salute myself, I cant believe I actually spending so much time on the bus and I am doing it every week!
For the past 10 months. Instead of taking a bus from KL - SG on every Sunday afternoon, I take night train now. Although it takes longer hours to reach (11 hours) compare to bus journey which is only 6 hours, I don't mind because I can sleep in the train as long as the berth is not near to the coach exit. But still have to be alert while sleeping, I got to make sure that I don't sleep like a pig because I have to take care of my belongings and my passport.
Ever since the H1N1 virus is spread in Malaysia, I have to be extra careful. Got to make sure I wear a mask when I am in the train. I don't care if people call me "kiasi". Better to be safe than sorry.

Jeng Jeng! This is me with the mask in the train... Do I look scary? lol


Long train journey, newspapers (Wan Pao) is always my travel companion.

A very quick update...

Singapore confirms the first H1N1 virus!

The patient is a 22-years old young lady who visited New York recently. Those who have close contact with this lady has already been quarantined, and the ministry is still searching for passengers who were on the same flight from NY.

Gosh...
I am down with flu as well...
Need to go to the doctor later.
Flu flu go away!

Edited:
Doctor said I got Viral Infection.
Asked me to go home and rest.
So, I think it is time for me to show some social responsibility...
Got 1.5 days MC. Oklah, I think I will rest half day only, then tomorrow get back to work...

Kiasi Again......

I was wearing masks in the whole KL-SIN journey. Even in checkpoints! Since I used the automated gate, so I do not have to remove the mask and show my face to the officer. But, when I was in Johor checkpoint, the Malay officer checked my berth, I think I looked suspicious with mask, otherwise he would not have checked my berth rite? T___T

Do I look suspicious?
Opps... Spotted PSP on my working desk!No... I did not play during working hours one, but my colleague transfered a new game to my PSP this morning and I forgot to put it back into my bag.


Being stared like an alien when I was waiting for my train, but I don't care because I am too Kiasi. Malaysia has already got 2 confirmed H1N1 virus case, don't play play.... lol! And there are a lot of foreigners in the train especially Indians from India, they like to take train cos train is the main transportation in India. Before they landed in Malaysia I am sure they take flights, and it means there is a possibility that some of them are already infected with that virus. errr.... Maybe I think too much lah, but still preventions is better than cure mah...
