This would be my last commuter ride (at least for this year)..am posting this on my way back to klang from meeting adifashla in KLCC.

spent the last 2 days in Darby Park with my fam..apparently my dad’s idea of holiday consist on spending our luxurious time in some 5-star hotel…what I had in mind was some kinda deep water snorkling,parasailing…or..everyting else :)
couldnt believe time past so swift.its already 4 pm.tomorrow,at this exact time i,d be in KLIA …ready to leave my beloved friends n family…

the train start to chug again after making it stops in jalan templer. i closed my eyes, feeling my heart aching…

with the holiday nearing to the end, i hastily made up my plan to visit granma in penang.

it seems too late to book an airline ticket (except if u dont know where to throw away your money),so i decided to travel by bus instead, …and..for not wasting my precious time, decided to travel during night..

whoever still being paranoid of getting “bus-lag” n a disturbed-non-sound sleep, rest assured..nowadays express bus are improving rapidly that i can sleep during the whole journey without a problem (or is it just me??)

and arriving early in the morning isnt that awkward. penang n kl are busy just like in daytime..taxi driver shouting..people waiting for the bus..the only difference is that the traffic is clear,and u can skip the 20cents payment for entering the public toilets..

i think i’ll do this more often ..why wasting ur time travel during daytime..when u can have a sound sleep and arrived at dawn at ur destination..

its like travelling in dream..

p/s:posting this aboard the bus during my way back from penang..thanks to my pda n DIGI for extending its GPRs service along the PLUs highway

me & ma’ new pda phone

am posting this blog via my new hp ipaq pda phone..huhu..sounds cool huh?

sort of..its ok,but not yet perfect.it doesnt have any built in wifi,but they do provide me with the ext wifi card.yet,it doesnt seems to work very well.

the great news, it have gps . so i can find my way home from anywhere in klang valley..i’ll never get lost (partly bcoz i dont drive…which idiot can get lost when he travels with komuter?)

10 things u never heard of BRECLAV

Friday, August 4th, 2006

.: I havent got the pics from my travel in Breclav. When i got it, I’ll post it here ASAP:.

1. U probably haven’t even heard the name of this city

2. One of the city in

South Moravia

,
it is the gateway to Lednice and Valtice, two worlds heritage sites declared by
UNESCO

3. I’m sure you have the same exact question which 37
people had asked me in Breclav. “What the hell is a Malaysian doing here?”

4. I’m actually visiting my Czech friend, Petr Berka whom
I met in the ESI Moscow 2003. So yes, I came down here all alone, leaving Safwan and others safely tucked in Prague.

5. It’s kinda a little town with local industry and warm,
nice people. Less car, and the most favorite modes of transportation is
bicycle. It’s a normal view for grandmas who perhaps suffer from arthritis
cycling happily around town.

6. I cycled around town and even to Lednice, covering the
whole distance up to more than 10 km!!!

7. Me and Petr went to a bar with “kain pelikat” around our waist. Its kinda funny idea Petr
had earlier. The thing that I thought gonna be awkward turned to make me the
most popular guy of the night. People came and took pictures, played bowling
and those mini-soccer, some even insist on buying me a drink. I said yes, and
ordered a bottle of mineral water J

8. I was the first Malaysian to arrived there, so my name
was written in a board of “First Tourist” in the tourist centre. If any of you
gonna be in Breclav, check my name out J

9. And as an honorable guest, I received a free gifts from
the tourist centre. One of them is a mini-sized measuring tape which I need
badly for my practical work. Thank u Breclav!!!

10. I went to Breclav by train, and after 2 nights, I
depart to

Berlin

– also by a
Eurocity train. When I sum up the distance, I had actually trail across the
whole

Czech

Republic

twice!!!
