Exactly one year ago, it was my Day 1 surviving at SG, setting up room, settling down my luggage and preparing myself to work for the following day. So fast, it's been a year and so happen I'm now taking train to SG ;)
Ya, since the train services for Tg Pagar ceased starting last Jul, I have never consider train is one of my main transportation choices. Main reason because it terminates at Woodlands, which require to take bus to nearest MRT station (Marsiling/Woodlands) then to city centre and the journey may take about another hour.
Why so hassle when taking coach can be good too? About 5 hours trip and can reach within the same day. It's just that I need to return to SG a day earlier but isn't that bad too as I can reach SG room around 11pm and still can do some preparation and housekeeping ;)
Back to my trip by train ... feel a bit anxious and strange even knowing this isn't my first time. Unlike previously, the seat numbering has changed from prefix 'L' to 'S' and from 4-5 decks to 2 now. This can be understood as other passengers like me will find terminating at Woodlands is very inconvenient and time consuming. Luckily I'm traveling on Friday night so I can still take my sweet time home tomorrow morning. Guess I might take taxi because so lazy to transit MRT back to HG as it might take another hour.
About 10pm, I finally reach KL Sentral and thr crowd still much more than before, maybe it's Friday. Wanted to hang out at McD but it's just too pack and stuffy so ended up with Burger King which not much crowd and cozy. Got to know my son cried right after I left and instantly my heart felt shattered but I've to keep myself strong. Know the purpose to work abroad and quickly return once accomplished.
When walking towards platform, heard the announcement that my train has been rescheduled to 11:25pm!!! WTF, when they will learn be punctual as they have been operating almost a century!!! Luckily it's not too late so I'm making use of the free slot to blog this. Hopefully the journey will be a smooth one ... Good night
