Today is the official semester break and i'm already back home in Penang. =D =D =D Gonna be home until the Jan 09 semester starts..which is on 5th Jan 2009. Meaning, i have a two month long break. I can hear fellow Intians shouting "YAYYYYYY!!!" Of the other colleges i've heard about so far, Inti is the only one that has such a long break. Others have only one month or less.
I spent the last day of my time in Inti in the comforts of civilization. =P A bunch of us went down to Sunway Pyramid (yes, again) to eat good food and do some retail therapy. Hahahaha. 7 of us (Rachel, Crystal, Wui Yarn, Kok Keong, Tze Liang, Jit Choon and me) hopped on the Inti bus to Inti Subang and from there, we took a taxi to Sunway Pyramid. Coincidentally on that day, there was this 'Meet The Fans & Autograph Session' which had famous HK stars like the guys from The Super Trio Show and Bosco Wong. But it was at 8pm. And our last bus back to Inti Nilai leaves at 7.15pm. So, we didn't stay and we took a cab from Pyramid back to Inti Subang to wait for the Inti bus.
The day went pretty well except for when we were going back home..We arrived at Inti Subang at about 7.05pm. Seeing as the bus wasn't there yet, some of us meandered around the place, checking out the food stalls and what nots. Manatau, Jit Choon called to say that the bus was leaving already. Jit Choon and Tze Liang weren't able to convince the bus driver to wait for us. So, we ketinggalan bus at 7.10pm. The bus driver couldn't even wait for us eventhough it wasn't even 7.15pm yet. He insisted that he cannot wait and drove off just like that.
Hence, that was how the 7 of us got stranded in front of Inti Subang. -.- We thought of taking a taxi straight back to Nilai but the "best price" they could give us was RM90. Crazee. If we had known this was going to happen, we would've just stayed to watch the HK stars up close. Heh. With no other remaining options, we had to take another taxi to the Subang KTM station, board the KTM from Subang to KL Sentral and from KL Sentral back home to Nilai. AND from Nilai, we took another taxi back to Inti.
Yesterday, a lot of money was spent on transportation. No thanks at all to the bus driver. An advice to others who might want to try the Inti bus service in future, be there early and don't wander away. =)
Annyywayyyyyy, I <3 Penang.
Seeing all the familiar buildings and landmarks feels so good.
And i realize food in Penang is cheap.
Cheap = good
ps- Jas, take me on a car ride when you're back!!
