Train story

Taking the public transport to work is tiring especially when you have to stand for the whole 30minutes and another 10minutes rides. You'll see the same view out the window everyday BUT not the same people with the same story.

Yesterday morning, a mother and her primary school son were standing next to me. She managed to pour hot water into a tumbler with a mixed of oat, milo and milk powder (I heard she told her son) while standing and asking the son to drink it there and then because it's his time for breakfast. Obviously, she's ignoring the "no eating and no drinking" in the train. hehehe. A very good breakfast indeed.

Today, 5 minutes delay caused a very significant difference. Instead of 1 train every 5 minutes, the train came after 10 minutes. So more and more people were waiting at the station. And of course, the delay was not only at my station. So many people were already standing in the train when it came and arriving at Cheras station, the train was so packed, people can not go in anymore.

I was standing at the back of a lovey dovey secondary school chinese couple. The girl is a bigger version of my niece. She looks exactly like Hannah. I was facing them so I can't help glancing. Hehehe.. I can see that the boy is so madly in love with the girl. Ah, puppy love. I wonder how far will they go.

Back to yesterday's story, I was asked to personally deliver a letter to JP@ at the very last minute. There was no more office car, so I had to take the public transport. Imagine that. Luckily Wan was around so he took an hour off to drive me there. Left the office at 3pm and rushing to catch the 3.40pm ERL. Managed to finish the whole business at 4.30.

And it felt so good to be at home after all the rushing.

I'm learning to walk more gracefully now :)
