juz finished Rocs blog & i had to pen this down before it goes too stale to be told...
this weekend is the following weekend from our unforgettable trip to Penang. Well said Roc bout this being the first of many more trips to come.
She n another well meanin friend, Jay arranged tis weekend get-away for me since its the weekend just befor my official turning into a 26 year old. It was a surprise to me until i got to the place. Every single moment of our journey together was memorable. We took the train wher Preshnan followed us. Thank God it was a berth that we chose. We slept for some good 7 hours, the first hour was spent recording the departure. N then we sat n chit chatted for a bit before sneaking around in the train looking for the cafeteria for some food. We ordered a hot plate of fried rice and keay teow.
Of course me, as usual had to check out the toilets in almost all places i go to. The toilet was very basic. I went in when the train stopped at a station. but we never left the train at all throughout the journey. When we got back Preshnan was already fast asleep. We got into our own bunks and slept off. I kept waking up frequently during the first hour, afraid that we might miss our stop and end up at the borders of Thailand.
However, my anticipation lessened after a while coz i was being lulled by the swaying of the train while it was moving. It felt very comforting to feel the train move since it brings back many many memories of the past...
The train has always been our only mode of travel between cities coz anya was a KTM staff. So he had many privilleges we could use and besides that, it was always more convenient for both anya and ma to handle all of us children who were very little then on a train than they would in a bus. So yea.. we've had many memorable trips up-North and down-South on the train, in the mornin, afternoon, night.. we've been thru it all.. So part of me was re-living all the memories throughout the journey.
Okay... now i'm reminising again... BUT i've smttg more important to do at the moment. The Income Tax submission is due tomorrow! ANd i'm still tryin to get thru the online submission which is to no avail. N i've 3 other important tasks at hand as well... so i've gotta pen off for now... Will continue over the 'holiday' if at all... till den... chiaos de mous
