I must have jinxed it when I wrote that the past few Merdekas I haven’t been in Malaysia.Because tonight I never even got to fucking leave Klang Valley.

(At least it happened this time and now when I’m going to be flying off. My greatest phobia is plane trouble…or or Snakes on the Plane wtf.)

Our train from Central Station was supposed to leave at 10pm. Suet came to pick me up at 845pm and we reached Subang station right before 9.

Then then the train was there already! Suet and I started running but it left before we could get to the opposite side of the tracks. :((((

Never mind.

We sat down and waited for the train.

And waited.

The fucking train never came!

At 930 in a panic we ran out of the station and found some taxi driver who offered to take us to Kelana Jaya station for RM20. Fucking cheat.

Anyway, beggars can’t be choosers and we had to go to KJ, then take the LRT to Central. Couldn’t drive there cos traffic jam cos of Merdeka.

So so we finally got to KJ and ran up the escalator to get to the tracks.

Lo and behold, the train was idling there.

I ran through the doors.

And the door shut behind me!

Suet was left outside!

I pawed at the door trying to find the button to press in case of emergency. But I had to break glass for it! So change of plans.

And Suet scared she kena terkepit at the door. Dahlah so besar. wtf. So she didn’t do anything either. Just outstretched her hand and looked forlornly at me. Like this!

Suet said I stared outside at her panicked, like this, too:

And the train moved away.

Okok so I got off the next stop and waited for her to meet me there. By the time we got to Central it was 1030.

The place was teeming with Mat Rempits – dunno why lots of black eyeliner and goth-punk and Harajuku fashion around.

We talked to the Info Counter and they told us the train had left at 10 T___________T

So we tried to get a refund from the Station Master cos it ain’t our fault that we arrived late ok! KTM fucked up not us!

So we found the station master. He told us the train to Singapore just left 5 minutes ago. It was 1045pm.

Fuckers! He said the train actually waited for passengers who were coming on the KTM commuter that was delayed.

But the fucking info counter people told us the train had already left at 10!!!

I hate the fucking Malaysian system! Fucking KTM! Why couldn’t they get their information right! If they told us the train was still waiting we would have made it and I’d be in Singapore now and Suet could have gotten her bloody interview with Mt Holyoke!

So at 12am on Merdeka I sat in front of my laptop with Suet and listened to fireworks popping at Dataran Merdeka.

Stupid! Independence for 49 years already still cannot get the country in order! Wanna be First World country konon! Wawasan 2020 konon! My ass la, you have 14 years to go only ok.

Increase petrol prices but the public transport system still so suck! Better faster extend the LRT to Subang Jaya I tell you!

I’m never taking KTM again! Always late and always breaking down! Because of that, Suet missed her interview and it probably affected her chances of getting into college! Fuck you KTM!

(Don’t say so much, later sure have to take KTM again when no choice.)

Stupid Malaysia! Biar kamu dijajah negara lain again la! Independence for what. Not maju at all. *emoes*
