Grouses and Nightmares

Yesterday was my WORST ever experience with the Malaysian transport system, ever.

I was heading from Subang KTM station with my sister en route to PC Fair held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. When the train arrived, it was packed like sardines. Somehow or rather, we managed to pack outselves into the cramped train with no standing space and barely any breathing space left.

The doors shut, and then suddenly the AC went off. And no, it didn't come back on. Ok, to give you a better account of what happened.. Here's what Joel saw, felt, and smelt during the 40minute journey.

It was packed like a club. Seriously, it was like crotch to ass, crotch to ass all over. There was this guy in front of me, who's hands kept bumping/brushing against my hand. Super disgusting. =_=

And did I mention the smell? Oh my, the smell... Thank God I was taller than most people there. Imagine if your height was at armpit level, the aromas that you would have encountered! I smelt a mixture of sweaty armpits, a hint of Issey Miyake cologne from the chinese dude to my left, and some nasty smelling hair! All that mixed together. . . 

The worst part of the journey was when the train came to a complete stop somewhere midway of the journey. It was horrendous. By the time we got off the train, I was completely drenched in my own sweat plus like everyone else's sweat around me. Definitely not a good sight to behold.

That's the reason why I do not believe in Malaysia's public transport system. It has let me down time and time again. Not only is the wait long, the ride ardorous and the journey unpleasant, it is always overcrowded as well. Its back to taking taxis for me.

Ok. 'Nuff said bout' Malaysia's let-down of a transport system. Last night, I had two nightmare-ish dreams. Not really nightmares la, more of like really weird.

In the first one, I felt my two front teeth were really loose and painful. Next thing I knew, I was spewing blood from my mouth and had my two teeth in hand. Lookin in the mirror, I swear, it waslike a scene from a vampire movie. Blood oozing out of my mouth, minus the two front teeth. Not pretty at all. Chinese call that "Bo Gey!"

2nd dream... I dreamt that I did something really really bad. And I was running and finding a place to hide in this apartment block. Too bad for me, the victim's friends got to me and we had to like settle the issue. It was either they called the police, or I paid them $500,000. I chose to pay the 500k. Where I got the money, I don't know. I must've been pretty rich in that dream. I remembered mom picking me up after I paid them off, and she just smiled to me and said, "Good thing can settle. Or else you'll be in jail!"

Hahaha. Thats all for now folks.

Till later,

Joel
