Can't stop walking: Part IV

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum.

Let's continue with the journey, shall we? :)

On to the fifth day Wednesday, I decided to go visit my old matriculation in PJ. Center for Foundation Studies, IIUM PJ. Went there alone, my sis didn't come along. I did ask Syafiq to join me when I've arrived there.

Of course, I went there using public transport. First from LRT Taman Jaya, I exited at LRT University. There, I waited for a bus that frequents my CFS. Used to do that lots of times before, so there should be no reason for me to be scared. Well, I admit, I was a bit scared. Must be because I'm alone.

Once I arrived, I was actually nervous as I had to walk pass the guards. But somehow when I did that, guards just ignored me. Heh, maybe because I was dressed quite modestly that day. So I walked in, and quickly started snatching photos. It'll be useful when I'm telling stories about my experiences as a VP2.

Other than going around reminiscing about the old days, the ZC cafe, the classes where we used to have meetings...I went to the LTD to check for ustaz Nadzri, our FRC advisor, but apparently he was taking that day off. That's most probably because the day after that was a holiday, the new year. Well, should've expected that. I messaged Syafiq, telling him about that. Well, Syafiq couldn't come too as his bike broke down in a middle of a highway. Hopefully everything'll be okay for him.

Go back to ZC Cafe to have my lunch...saw ex-IIUMK classmate eating alone there. Not wasting anytime, I greeted her and joined her. Won't feel awkward now that I had company. She was there as an exam invigilator. We talked for a bit, then I headed home. Waited for the bus outside the campus, stopped that green PJ bus that was supposed to be free, but the driver waved his hand to me saying no. I don't know, maybe I waited at the wrong bus stand. Welp. I took a different bus and traced back my way to my uncle's apartment.

**********

Thursday was the day we decided that we should go home. At first after breakfast my uncle said he would send me to the LRT station as I already knew the way to Pekeliling bus station. But somehow we were running late from planned time, he sent me straight to Pekeliling. He didn't have to fo that far for me, I said, bu he said it was okay. My aunt was unwell, she had a fever. Turned out it was dengue!(･_･;

Arriving at Pekeliling, we quickly surveyed the counters for any who sells tickets to Kuantan. Only PlusLiner had them, and the alternative route they'll take to avoid the flood would take 7 hours long! God, that's plus 3 more hours than what we usually have. Luckily the price was unchanged. Well, like it or not, I took the offer and bought the tickets as mom wanted us to be home as soon as we can. I'm not quite sure what she was worried about, but she didn't like us being away for a long time.

Bought the tickets, boarding time was 2pm if I'm not mistaken. Or was it 1.30pm? Can't remember. But we did have some free time after buying the tickets, so we said our farewells to our uncle and cousin, then we headed to Berjaya Time Square to fill our time. From Pekeliling, we just took the monorail straight to Imbi, no need to exchange line or anything.

We walked around Time Square, at that time there were not a lot of people, and some of the shops were just opening. I guess we came a bit early. We walked around the Cosmo World, little Taiwan (I think that's the name), that place where you get to enter a room and solve mysteries in it (for quite a price of course), and I noticed there was an archery range here too. Wasn't there when I last came, about...4 years ago? Lol.

Tried the piano stairs too, and that sort of pressure tiles...? When you step on it, the coloured liquid inside moves. Got tired of walking, stopped by a KFC and ordered their newly introduced desserts. I ordered the tiramisu. So-so I might say. Typical for a fast food franchise. Besides, KFC is not cake expert. Heh. Spend quite some time here, as at Pekeliling it's not as comfy.

When the time came, we left and headed back to Pekeliling, boarded our bus...the bus stopped at weird resting area! I has to speed pray at a petrol station, believing that it won't be stopping at all, and when it did, it was somewhere by the roadside with the toilets at the edge of some plantations. God, it must be scarier at night. I wanted to eat here as there was a food stall, but I couldn't find anything I want. There's not even snacks sold there.

Inside the bus for a 7 hours long trip, I couldn't help but feel bored. I slept, listened to music, looked outside the windown...hmm. Can't remember exact time we arrived in Kuanfan. But it was already night. Got home...haa, finally, time to rest!
