the train ride

the train (Langkawi Express - the name of the train) was to arrive at 9.30pm but there was an 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...
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.... he wanted to go to the "food" coach to get our "complimentary refreshments"... 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....
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..
