The Trip Home

I spent my whole weekend in Penang "My Second Home", underwent vigorous food therapy starting from Char Hor Fun (upon arrival) at Pulau Tikus area, followed by my favourite moi and "kicapless" Wantan Mee in Penang Street the next morning. Then my dad bought fresh white promfret and senangin which I later steamed it in Teochew style for lunch and dinner.... fuh panjang pulak mukadimah ...

I guess hawker food in Penang are heaven coz the ingredients they use are fresh especially the seafood. Bukan apa, everytime I followed my dad to street market belakang Chowrasta I memang excited lah nak borong semua ikan kat situ. Boleh nampak lah beza nya ... Though kat sini I kadang2 get my wet ingredients from Pasar Borong Selangor, kesegaran ikan dia memang tak sama dengan wat I get here in Penang Street market.

So balik KL i decided to shed a few "grammes" by going back using alternative way. Normally, sampai Pudu Raya I will take an LRT train to Bukit Jalil Station, then from there I will take a taxi to my apartment in Fortune Park. Problem is kadang2 taxi driver taknak pegi tat area atas alasan jam and susah nak dapat penumpang. So they tend to charge more tanpa guna meter ... which irks me. Total cost from Pudu Raya to my home by this route is RM 1.90 (LRT) + RM 15.00 (Taxi) = RM 16.90.

Masa first pindah to this area, benda pertama I buat ialah identifying the bus route, nearest LRT/komuter station, taxi drivers numbers and nearest police station. Selain stesen LRT Bukit Jalil, another station paling dekat adalah stesen komuter Serdang (which also nearer). Tapi kena tukar train lah kat stesen LRT Bandar Tasik Selatan. Since I arrived awal yesterday I decided to follow this route.

Sememang Tuhan memang mahu I shed more than just few grammes. Sampai jer kat Pudu, hujan rintik2 and since my bus berhenti luar Pudu Raya, I had to "jog" about 20 metres to Pudu Raya then walk about 20 metres to LRT Plaza Rakyat. Dahlah time tuh bawa laptop and small weekend bag. Kebetulan ramai pulak students (sebab semua bawak laptop) balik ke uni dari weekend break I guess. Hmm ... takpe lah. I pun kan rupa student ... hehehe.

Apabila train sampai kena berasak-asak pulak dengan orang ramai yang maybe menghala ke arah Sri Petaling. Perjalanan ke LRT Bandar Tasik Selatan taklah lama, about 20 mins. Tapi ingatkan tak ramai orang turun kat situ, bila pintu train bukak jer ... I think separuh passengers turun. Time tu rasa menyesal plak tak bawak kad Touch "n" Go. Then I pun mulalah perjalanan I ke stesen komuter just next door.

I malas naik komuter sebenarnya sebab kalau dibandingkan, 3 tren LRT dah melepasi tempat tu barulah tren komuter sampai. Bila sampai pulak, penuh dengan student2 dan org ramai yang baru balik shopping kat Mid-Valley. But anyway .. I am not a "virgin" when it comes to berasak2 kat stesen2 LRT and Komuter nie .... habis semua skill ragbi keluar.

Bak kata pepatah, bersakit-sakit dahulu ... bersenang-senang kemudian. Sampai kat Stesen Komuter Serdang I dapati tambang teksi ke my area dah ditetapkan RM 8.00 sebab diuruskan oleh a consortium. Siap masa nak masuk taxi kena escort dan pintu dibukak lagi hehehe ... So total cost guna route B nie ialah RM 1.70 (LRT) + RM 1.00 (KOMUTER) + RM 8.00 (Taxi) = RM 10.70. Beza sebanyak RM 6.20.

Kesimpulan daripada eksperimen di atas ialah balik ke rumah guna Route B tidak akan memberikan perubahan signifikan kepada berat badan anda kecuali penat dan jimat RM 6.20 hehehe ...

P/S Semin ... ada macam student PHD punya paper tak ?
