On Friday, I balik dengan train lagi.. As usual, I was at the Bandar Tasik Selatan Komuter Station, waiting for the komuter for more than 45 minutes from 6.10 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. There were 2 full loaded trains past by me that I could not boarded. It was alright with me cause I was busy with my book... turning page by page... And suddenly there it was a noisy heavy machine or engine coming towards the station. It was like the usual long distance train e.g. to Singapore. It suddenly stop at the station and a man from onboard the train came out and wave a flag just like the long distance train. But people were rushing to boarding the train. I was like confused! I asked the man "Encik, boleh naik ke". He did not answer, instead asked me " Nak pergi mana?" I said "Nak pergi Seremban". Now he answered me "Boleh, naik.. naik".
I rushed with the others borded the train. The train was called Shuttle Train, from KL to Seremban, 5 trips daily starting from 6.55 a.m from Seremban. Only make stops at major stations like Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kajang, Nilai and Seremban. The condition of the coach was more confortable compared to Komuter train. The seats are more comfortable and more spacious I would say. I think the additional services provided by the KTM was excellent and could cater for growing numbers of commuters between Seremban and KL Sentral. I am glad, they did improve!!!

Komuter oh komuter ...
Yesterday, I took the KTM komuter ride from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Seremban. Biasalah naik komuter kalau tak car-pool dengan sesapa.
I reached the BTS station around 7.10 p.m. Tengok the displayed schedule, katanya the next train sampai situ 7.25 p.m. So... another fifteen minutes... o.klah. I smsed my daughter, Nadia to inform my arrival would be around 8.30 p.m. And ask babah to fetch me after sending Sarah for tuition. Travelling time from BTS to Seremban normally will take 1 hour. O.K fine..
After waiting and waiting the train still no sign of coming.. It was 7.30 p.m. The displayed schedule has changed to 7.45 p.m. for the next train. O.k lah I waited waited. Suddenly, my phone rang, my daughter, Sarah called and I told her that better ask babah to wait for me at the railway station in Seremban at 9.00 p.m... and finally the most waited train shoooing on the track slowly approaching the station at 8.00 p.m. Has they changed the time-table?? I have no idea. I just make myself storming onboard the train (of course la after letting people disembark the train). The coaches all packed with people but I managed to fit myself infront of the pintu. Standing somemore! Penat! I do not know why the train punctuality is always questionable. Can they improve? I am sure Malaysia Boleh!
Sampai Seremban, my husband was already waiting for me with Hajar, my youngest daughter. He parked the car and we headed to Parkson Grand. I have promised Hajar to buy her a pair of kasut tinggi (high heeled shoes) that's what she called, as long as the shoes/slipper/sandal tu ada tumit sikit and kalau jalan ada bunyi tuk tuk tuk. Macam kasut mama katanya. Unfortunately, tak jumpa kasut yang dikehendaki... instead I bought her a nice cotton blouse with pink floral design with 7o% discount!! After that we singgah at Mc Donald's (sorrylah, I have no choice semalam sbb dah balik lambat) while Babah busy at the Men' Dept. Later, Babah came over to us . We have to rush back to fetch Sarah at the tuition centre by 10.00 p.m.
We reached there 2 minutes to 10.00 p.m. and I sempat lagi singgah kat Dress Shop sebab from outside I can see they have a new collection of girls' princess dresses. I cannot resist but to enter the shop to have a closer look. Finally, I did not make any purchase and stormed out of the shop because it's already 10.05 p.m. I do not want Sarah to wait but lucky the tuition centre is just a couple of blocks from the Dress Shop. I will tell more about this Dress Shop in my future posting.
Sarah, she waited patiently in front of the tuition centre and came running towards the car as we pulled over. As usual she was dressed in her favourite O'kayce cotton shirt with girl image printed on the front side.
We reached home 5 minutes later and I quickly asked Nadia to change the channel to 701 for CSI Miami. I indulged in the CSI until 11.00 p.m. I quickly set the washing machine full loaded and went upstair and bathe and pray. By this time Hajar had fallen asleep and Sarah has changed into her pyjama and she went straight to bed. After Isyaq' prayer, I also went straight to bed. It was 12.45 a.m. What a day.. Good night everyone! I could only whisper.. zzz..zzzz..
