4 = 6, 2 = 1/2 (what i would really call this post wld have to be censored)

Whoa, yesterday sucked big time.

Bus-load of us USMers were to go down to KLPac to watch Macbeth since thats the play we're doing this semester...
Ok, so play started at 3pm.
We left at 8.45.... on average, without too many stops, we can make it to KL in 4 hours. So supposed to reach at 12.45 - 1pm right ?
Wrong.
Whatever could go wrong did.
Firstly the drivers insisted in taking a 30min lunch break, when me lecturers were saying "no need, 20mins enough" but they werent firm so ended up 45mins stop, and only started off again AFTER filling up on petrol , that was SOOOOO much wasted time...

The co-driver took over to give the first dude a break, which was "good" cause he was a maniac driver, so much faster, and really mad, that we almost had an accident. Imagine, he tried to overtake a cement truck, that was overtaking a motorbike... there was about 1 foot in between us...
FREAKY SCARY wei!!!! All on the bus had wide eyes and could not sleep after that.
Next great thing to happen ?

*thud! bump bump bump bump bump*
Flat tyre. Great.
Stopped, and the drivers decided it was still okay to drive along, but would be slow.
He was nto kidding. 50-60 kmj on the highway is so so slow...

Oh i didnt mention the BEST part... The flat somehow managed to effect the aircon, so we had NO AIRCON for the next 2hours almost.
And of COURSE it was a freakin hot day...
Imagine all this and we're not even at the place yet.

Obviously we were late, and going into KL at 2+ is NOT the best of times....
J A M (not marmalade)
My lecturer actually called up and asked if they could hold the play for us, they tried, but eventually the show must go on! (with or without the USMers...)
When we got there, had started bout 10mins, so thats fine, but they told us that we couldnt go to our seats and distract everyone, so we had to either sit along the aisles or stand for the next 1 hour 20mins.... GREAT!

Putting the horridness aside, the play was really good, the stage arrangements, sounds, lighting and sequence really drew in the audience. And the new place, KLPac is lovely..area is called Sentul West, look out for it...

So, the bus was supposed to be repaired during the play, and pick us up after.
Show ended at bout 4.45, bus arrived at 6.50pm... Lovely eh...
Tyre fixed, but air con NOT!

Some genius planned that we go to KLCC next, and so we actually went and were supposed to be there from 7.30- 9.30. There is NOTHING to do in a place where everything is double the price , so 5 of us had the smart idea to go on the LRT to somewhere else to eat.
Chose Ipoh Chicken Rice on Jalan Gasing, yup, stopped at Taman Jaya and WALKED there...I had a bad feeling about the plan cause we only had 1 1/2 hours to get there, eat n back. But Chris insisted it was only a 10min walk, but i dont think he considered that not all in our group were fast walkers..
Desperately tried calling for help transport wise, and managed to get Joseph, thank God cause seriously every minute counted. So basically our 2 hour dinner break, became 1/2 hour of ordering and wolfing down the food.

The ONLY happy thing of the day was i saw my KITTY CAT!! Yeah, she actually came from home (Puchong) to find me knowing it would be no more than 10mins... Sigh. Seeing her made me really really miss my talking times with her. She's really one of a kind la....

Got back to the LRT station, and KLCC by 9.25pm - wanted to go to the loo just in case, but the whole floor that we were on was PREMIER TOILETS at RM2 per entry , WHAT ON EARTH?! We went round in circles looking for a free toilet... Stupid man, trying to get money even by doing THAT!!! its terrible...

Back on the bus, drove and since no air con, the door was open the whole way for air to come in. Made another unneccessary stop along the way, another 40mins wasted...
By the time in got to my room , it was 4am... YAY!

So i was all sticky, pissed off and just plain fed up from the day .
Couldnt care, went to bed.
And it was supposed to be a great day.

Thankfully, this morning got up, feeling so much better and got ready for church... Chris overslept, kekeke, but he said he had trouble falling asleep so...

Moral of the Story : Always leave early just in case Sh*t happens along the way....
