I thought we would survive....

the hassle of taking public transport to the city centre, unfortunately only for the first day of our training. It was way tooo Maaaa Fannn that we decided to drive, finally :- To leave the house as early as 645am, which means less sleeping hour and that would traslate to puffy eyes and dark circles and yawning at every hour???? Nooo thanks, we would rather car pool, pay a lil more and enjoy our morning drive.

However, the 1 day experience wasn’t the bitter one; It was a fun and memorable one indeed. After almost 5 years of not taking any public transport, I was really delighted and overwhelmed when other colleagues suggested the idea. To my imagination, I would love the morning sight of people queuing, pushing and squeezing their ways to the commuter/LRT :D Flock of peoples in a sort of style and colors, kinda interesting at first; at least at the very beginning of the day when all are still fresh and no wangian-wangian harum ;)

Evening crowds...squeeze ur self to the tiniest size possible and run for your seat

Later by 5++ approaching the end of the day, the thought of walking and sweating and waiting..erghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NOooooooooo! Pain in the ass.

*Sigh*

Second day, we dare not take the challenge, so we drove instead and happily arrived 15 minutes before our training started..SYOK gile! Had our breakfast, cuci mata kejap and started the day with big wide smile *wink*

On a positive note, credit should be given to our public transportation facilities in KL that have improved tremendously off late. It has never been easier before for fast access to LRT and Monorail stations
Forcing a weak smile after a long walk frm one station to one station..Aduhhsss
Ohhhh we were in Jalan Imbi for 2 days training on Blue Ocean Strategy, a new business management methodology. Will elaborate on it later.

p/s: After 2 days in KL, I am changing my mind. I will no longer mind working at the heart of KL with one condition- a pay increase by 30% upwards. The answer would be YES but problem is, in current economical limbo, 30% increase might not be as easy as that kan?

i've tried also, and all i can say is.. never again.. unless something drastic is done to make it all work better..

i ended up spending more time, and paying more money as compared to driving down.
