I wanted to have a
separate entry for this as this one of those experience I'm sure I will never
forget and learn from, especially on traveling.
So we left
Universal Studios at around 9pm which we thought would be enough time since our
train will not leave until 11:30. What we didn't foresee was everyone else was
going home and there was a long queue for the train leaving Universal Studio.
Before we know it, it was already past 10pm when we reached our hotel. We just
immediately packed our bags and checked out. We tried waiting for a bus, but it
took us a long time, so we tried to hail a cab. We didn't have luck on that
either as the taxis we're not stopping or didn't want to let us ride as the
train station was just really nearby. We had no choice but to wait for our bus
again. We then ride the MRT again until Woodlands, which is where the train
station is. The MRT ride took forever and when we finally arrived at Woodlands
it was already 11:30. What's worst is that we don't know where exactly the
train station to Malaysia is.
We asked some of
the cab drivers, and they don't know it as well. Finally one cab driver knows
and so he brought us there. And when we arrived, the train has already left.
Apparently, they're not following Filipino time, which is always late. Haha. I
was kinda expecting it. We then asked one of the crews there and he suggested
to ride the bus and try to catch the train on its next stop. We did that, and
to our dismay, we're still not able to catch the train. What was worse, was
that I didn't know we already had cross the border, and we're now at Johor Baru
in Malaysia. Continue reading here.
Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey's fits and starts, rehearses life's own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.
