KTM Berhad

the train (Langkawi Express - the name of the train) was to arrive at 9.30pm and we were supposed to be there at 8 something, we rushed to be there just before 9 when we got the news that the "flight" was delayed for 1 hr.. gosh.. i should have known... after that 1 hr, we went to the platform and waited for the train to come... and there was another announcement... 1130!!!!! the bloody train will only come at 11.30!!! omg.. this is so not good and it will take bout 9 hrs to reach, and my appointment is at 10.30!!! *panic*

but then, what to do, have to wait la... the waiting room, full of teenagers, college/uni students... i was thinking to myself, thank goodness we're not taking the normal sleeping berths, sure bising wan.... so sitting at the waiting room, they had this lousy drama-minggu-ini show on the tele on TV2.. it made me fall asleep on the chair... slept for a good 30 mins.. and when i got up, it felt weird, sleeping in a weird position with so many ppl around...

this time the train was on time, 11.30 it arrived, dad got to speak to some official and asked about the delay, it seems the train came from thailand - Hatyai and on the way to Butterworth, the tracks were new and it seems when it's new, they can't "speed" that's why the delay... sigh...

dad got excited, first time in this "1st class" berth.... he was looking around, checking things out... he took the top bunk bed.. hahahahah.... like small boy.. then even before the train could move, he said he wanted to go to the "food" coach to get our "complimentary refreshments"... i was telling my friends what would the KTM "complimentary refreshments" would mean... i was thinking, maybe a packet drink (which is normal for everything) and maybe a small packet of nasi lemak... note the minimum food for complimentary, it's expected in public businesses.... KTM.. 1 st class... u think it'll be the same as flying 1st class in MAS? .... NOT!!... so giving them reasonable doubt, it would be packet drink and nasi lemak... BUT in the end.... all we had was a bottle of mineral water (which is good) and NO nasi lemak, instead.... one small (nice looking) cup cake... sigh.... maybe they didn't want us to eat so late at night? shruggs... quite dissapointing actually cause i was actually hungry... so we got 2 egg sandwiches.... and guess how much was that? for 2, it costs, RM6.30 omg!! just for EGG sandwiches!!!

air con was cold..... had to adjust the air-con... and luckily i could sleep... maybe i was too tired (i did work just before leaving) ... the area that i slept in, was a bit small though, if u want to turn, u got to move abit so that u can turn on the same area.... could sleep, not that rocky and noisy... 1st class ma...! there was a lil table and chair and also a small sink.. which is good... cause at least u can wipe yourself cause there's no place for a bath... too cold to bathe also la anyway, can brush teeth, wash face.... but don't get me started on the toilets, they HAD paper (which was surprising, i brought my own just in case and they also had a water pipe)... but it was still a typical malaysian toilet... if u know what i mean....

luckily we reached KL Sentral at 9am.. and even managed to get some breakfast at McD before i went for the "interview"... i was 30 mins early..
