Someday in KL

Wake up early in the morning, pack the remain thing. It was 730am, still early for my bus to KL. I went to KFC to have my breakfast. The reason I choose there were there got free WiFi access. After finish watch newspaper and eat breakfast, I look at the watch and it almost the time. Inside the bus, hardly can sleep. When almost falling in sleep, there will be a call or sms coming. I not excited when I had arrive at KL. The place look strange to me, the Jalan Duta is not the Jalan Duta in my memories. Maybe KL already had great changes in past 2 years. I saw block of apartment rising from the ground. "yeah, where are the twin tower and KL tower?", suddenly it pop in my head. I facing the window searching for it, I could find it. I asked myself, is it I already inside KL, if yes then why i still can not see the landmark.

The bus took off once again from Hentian Duta after letting people off the road before heading toward city center. Then I saw it the KL tower. I still have not go up there before. It was 2pm and I reaching the Pudu Sentral, a newly renovate bus station. I stepped out from the bus, went up to the platform. It was just a normal bus station for me after hearing rumours about this bus station. There was a moment of lost but when I saw the sign for direction to the Plaza Rakyat LRT station then I decide to have change the line instead of walking to station Pasar Seni.

Inside the station, I realise how I gonna buy my ticket. It was a long queue in the counter and 2 unfamiliar ticketing machines. Nothing seem to happen when i touch my Mykad on the machine. Not sure if the touch n go function inside is working. The journey to station Majlis Jamek just required RM1.20. Hence I insert a RM1 note and a 50 cent coin. A plastic coin and 30 cent charge drop out. I look at the plastic coin mysteriously. "You just touch at there then when you finally out from the station, just throw the coin inside", the guys told me after i asked him.

Looking at the ticketing machine again but different station. I can not use the machine because it is just for travel less than RM2. I stepped back and accidentally hitting a lady. She stop and stare at me, I quickly apologise to her. She stare at me for another second before continue her walk. "What wrong with her", in my thought. I did not care about and went down the escalator for the next LRT ride.

It was raining and I at the bus hub for the universiti station waiting people from IME to fetch me to their office. I saw a girl holding some papers seem to memorise something before leaving by a UM bus. My phone sound, it was the lady who will fetch me, she had reach. On the way to the IME office, the rains have cause KL to show it's ugly side. Cars are need to slow down to across the "water path". At that time felt that my campus not that worst, it is still acceptable compare to our capital.

Tea break time and my time to eat my lunch after arrived at the IME office. Knowing about the two top winners are boys, a bit disappointed. They continue the training and I skipped some lesson. The guy called Amirul who will fetch me to the place I am staying and I will staying with him in this 7 days. His is also the trainer for the 3Dvia composer. The room is occupied with thing by another IME staff who having outstation. After put my stuff and the 1st thing is check if there any internet access here through WiFi. Luckily there is a WiFI that not required password and it got internet access. However, just a while, I cant connect again to the wifi. I having my dinner near the apartment, just outside. I order a clay-pot rice and cost me RM5.50, quite reasonable (maybe because it taste good). Went back to the room and there still no internet connection. The 1st boring night and a early sleep that night.
