So I waited and waited for the Rapid KL's T320, because it goes to KLCC and it went by where I was going to get off. But I waited for about 10 minutes and it still wasn't here. It was all METRO Bus passing, so I went in one. The bus stopped, but I was still waiting for the T320, but it was no where to be found and the METRO one was moving slowly due to the traffic. I thought and thought, then suddenly I asked the lady if it went to Bukit Indah, which I was getting off. She said no, but it does go to Taman Kosas, which was a little outside of where I was heading. So I got on it and found myself a seat. I, then remembered my brother saying that the T320 bus goes into Bukit Indah, so I thought this METRO one would too, but just not "that" in. Taman Kosas was on the turn to the left, but the bus turned to the right. And when it did that, I was panicking and scared - not knowing where it would take me. So then I just sat there and thought that the bus would go around this area then back to Taman Kosas, but it didn't, it took my farther and farther. Then it came to a stop for about 15 minutes. This is where I called my girlfriend so her voice could calm me down. I called for about 5-6 times, but she didn't pick up. So I forgot about it, calmed myself down and waited. I sat there for about 5 minutes already and the bus haven't move yet. I, then approach to the lady and asked her what happened to Taman Kosas she said the bus would stop? "Oh, you haven't got off?" She replied. Then she told me that I should've gotten of there. So then I sat back down.
Later, the bus turned back. My mom called to see where I was, I told her to pack everything and stuff, and that when I came back, we could leave right away. Because they close the shop at 7, and it was already around 6:30. She asked me where I was, and I said I was "here" and "there" and told her to stop worrying because I roughly know where I am, and that I wouldn't get lost. People in the back were talking loudly in their language that I didn't know of. And it was my first time so I was pretty scared that they would harm me or something. But throughout all, they didn't and they got off where they were heading. Then it went back to Taman Kosas, now I knew, it didn't go "in" Taman Kosas, it just touched the rim, and they said they'll stop at Taman Kosas. I was like.."WHAT!?" But this was how the system was..
When I got off, it was about 6:55, so from where I got off the bus, I ran to my store. I ran and stopped, walked for a while and ran again. With this repeated process, I finally reached my store at 7:05. But the store was already closed and they were gone! I was like "WHAT?!" Then I called my mom and she said they were looking for me. So I told them where I was and they came to me. Then we headed home. They scolded me stuff and stuff, but I proclaimed that I promised my mom that I would reach at about 7, and wouldn't be "too" late. Which I wasn't at all! She said, how come you didn't wait "there" or "there?" and called us to come pick you up here on our way home, since we go by here? I said, no need. I promised you that I would reached at about 7, and I will. Because a promise is a promise. And it had to be fulfilled anyhow! But they said there point and by then I was really, extremely piss, because they went from this topic, to this, then continue on from there.. This is when my girlfriend texted me, saying that she was eating just now, that's why she didn't pick up. And she asked me what happened, but then I was really pissed and I said I'll tell her later, and I didn't took my anger out on her. Then she said, well, okay, I'll tell you when I'm done then, cause' she needs to go somewhere to do something. At the end of that, there were some sweet signs of "love," so it took my anger away like INSTANTLY! But then after a while my parents scolded again and again. Not listening to them, I thought about the happy moments that I had with my girlfriend, and magically I smiled and stuff. Which was pretty great.
From this incident, I've learned two lessons.
One was to know your neighborhood, so you would know when things aren't right and know where you are and whether you're still in that area or not. I knew this, that's why I didn't panic a lot while on the bus, going from there and there to here and here.
Second, was to know the public transport. Sooner or later, you'll going to experience some problems and that you will need the public transport. So learn it before you actually need it, you never know when it'll come in handy.
Though today and this experience here, I was really scared, and I didn't know what to think while I was "lost," I thought positively and thought, why not recognize this place? You're lost anyways, just recognize this place and you will know it. And gain something from this "lost" experience. So then I did, and I pretty much know how this METRO number 79 works. And that I wouldn't make the same mistake again.
But on the other hand, thanks to my girlfriend. hehehe...=]
