Kembara Jalanan.. Yang Penat ;-)

its been a week since i used public transportation. its different, its tiring but honestly, im kind of enjoying myself. strange but its true!.. :-) not that i like it but somewhere in between, its been like a somewhat a revelation. a lesson if i may call it.

its been like, oh, maybe between 4 to 8 years ago since i used the public transportations. yes its that long-loooong time ago. before i bought my scooter that is. well, i did used it occasionally but not as entirely dependent on it as these past week. i used it all-well almost; bus (selangor bus,rapid,metro,sj bus), taxi, commuter, star and putra lrt (now both known as rapid kl i think).

that is why its been like 2 weeks i didnt wrote anything because it's really difficult to go anywhere without any transport. usually i went here at night-coz its cooler and convenient. but today i went here in the afternoon. catching the selangor bus. waiting for it is one thing, not paying for it is another.. hehe.. hey.. i didnt purposely not paying for the fares but its just one stop away and the bus conductor still at the middle of the bus collecting fares from other passengers when i arrived at my stop. so i just alighted from the bus and went on. sorry conductor. i'll pay you next time..

one funny thing happened to me this week was, on the way back from work, im sooooo tired and tertido while inside the bus on my journey back to my house. all of the sudden i woke up and realise that i overslept and the bus had already arrived at its final stop and there was no more passanger around! there i was dumbfounded and confuse and high.. the driver was already standing outside the bus doing nothing. i sat for awhile. regain my consciousness and decided to walk back home. its not too far but its already 9pm and im tired and disillusion and i pissed of with the bus driver or the passenger besides me for not waking me up. but actually its me, myself and i whom were at fault and nobody else. when i think back it makes me, and my mom, laugh! yes i told her about the 'incident'. she even sarcastically sms me the next day weather i overslept again.. grrr!!!

as a normal citizen using the public transport, it really got me thinking. i watched all walks of life going about their own business. there are more to life that we never see. there are so much going on. i watched the young and the old, the poor and the rich, the not so poor nor rich. the beauty and the beast. the basikal apek and the aprilla's or ducati's. the viva's and the mercedes brabus. different races, nationality, age, all have their own stories to tell. all have something going on somewhere. by using public transportation you'll get to watch how life really goes on around you. believe me you'll only get to watched this side of life by foot. its most of us nowadays are not willing to do even myself. if not by chance i lost my scooter then maybe i wouldnt even notice there's more going on in life other than the oil price hike and political tsunami that rage our society currently that overshadows our sight to the more important and urgent manner to be resolve such as livelihood of the poor or the safety or our fellow commuters or even the fate of stray cats and dogs all over the city.

yes even animals have their right to live alongside us in this world. we share this world, remember?..

kembara aku pergi balik kerja menyedarkan aku terlalu banyak aku perlu pelajari dari kehidupan. terlalu banyak aku tertinggal dalam belajar erti hidup yang sebenar. setiap rupa, setiap kudrat, setiap gaya, menyimpan seribu satu cerita. manakala perjalanan hidup aku sendiri sebenarnya banyak mengajar aku betapa kerdilnya aku sebagai manusia. betapa biasanya aku. aku umpama jatuh ke bumi semula. aku ni sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga. sudah la ditimpa tangga, kaki aku pula tersepit dan cedera parah.

actually its like a down memory lane thing for me. when i used to depend on the buses or taxis to get me anywhere. its a de javu sort of thing. one particular memory was when i used to catch the hideously, crap, junk, worthy of metal scrap, smelly feet conductor, crazy driver that either he thinks he's a formula one driver or very slow driver that a 45 minute journey took more than 1 and a half hour to arrives of selangor omni bus co. ltd.

we will see how its gonna be next week. hopefully im fully awake until the last stop. :-)
