i'd slept through most part of it, ipod stuck in the ears, save for the parts where they served the meals and when they stopped for toilet breaks along the expressway..
a solitary ride. yes i guess sometimes some things like these are not that bad after all. i can do solitary after all.
i see people travel in pairs, some a family of four or five, and many, a solitary trip as well.
they eat, they snooze. like me. then they wake up unable to sleep anymore, they start to plug in the huge headphones and join in the cheesy flicks on the drop-down screen...
some attempt to read.. i see one holding a novel from disembarkation until now. reading her "into the wild" on and off. yes, she is sitting just in front of me slightly. others attempt lighter stuffs like magazines. yes, she's sitting just next to me across the narrow aisle.
the others, they just sleep summore. on this home-leg of the journey, i am fortunate enough to manage myself a twin seat. the girl beside me shifted to a seat upwards with a power-point. imagine a pretty girl like her having to charge up her laptop while on a ride home from singapore, on a sunday.. .
now with my cardi up and my sleeves rolled-down, i hav one foot curled up under the other, while gibberishing on this... i just cannot sleep anymore.
and as i am at this, i cannot help dreading how i'll have to check on the woek week in advance once i reach home eight-ish later. yeah, i'll hav to make sure i do not fumble up on the meeting dates again... no, not again.
Work, Play, Life.
unfortunately, i cant seem to make them Not co-exist.
now that was the conclusion i made while i closed my book shut.
right after that the coach halted to a stop... both me and magazine-gurl across the aisle craned our neck out and saw the unmistaking bumper-to-bumper stretching all the way up.
almost instantaneously, we turned to look at each other and blurted out the same word.. "jam~"... and silently laughed at it all.. sigh~
and from then onwards the ride inched forward ever so painstakingly all the way past Seremban before it eventually got better.
what was supposed to be a 5-hour ride had me reaching home almost by 10PM....
that being said
i just luv KL ...

~along Orchard Rd. the big new tree at the big new mall... ION Orchard...
at Bugis... a soupy lunch @ Ajisen Ramen.... and New Moon's all the rage there too :)
across bugis junction, another queer mall. the ILUMA... which looks like a giant bubble-wrap from the outside...
Chinatown... yeah, been there too but. i still wanted to go so badly.... the anticipation as the street and the sunglight emerges at the end of the long flight of stairs up (escalator larh~)
