FROM CHERAS TO SHAH ALAM

Most of my friends know that I am currently commuting to and fro office by public transportations as I now have no car. Believe it or not, I somehow enjoy taking public transports... Hahaha...

I bought the RM1oo monthly pass for LRT, meaning that I am now able to go anywhere using LRT (hahaha... as long as the places are reachable by LRT la, duh~) without the hassle of queuing up for tickets... Nice! Especially for someone like me who sometimes forgot to bring cash along~ hahaha...

Anyway... it's not about the ticket that I am about to go all out crapping in here... Nah, it won't be interesting at all to crap bout tickets!! Hahaha... Well, read further to find out what I've classified as annoyingly hillarious stories that happened almost everyday and faced by almost all LRT-Takers.

.

.

1. Illiterate people

.

Do you notice that there are signboards telling all people using the escalators at Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral LRT Stations that asking not-so-rushing people to stay on the left side of the escalators so that the rushing-people could dash down and up the escalators easily.... Those signboards were hang there with purpose... So, please la, to all my dear LRT-Takers, don't be so illiterate pagan wearing expensive slacks and ties standing on the right side of the escalators during peak hours. And even please, when people ask you to give them way, dun la give them a fierce stare. you might end up having a palm print on your face k. We know that you work in KL and your punch-in time is at 9am... Just please be empathy of people working in Shah Alam like me who have to rush to catch the always-late commuters and buses.

.

P/s: I think this stand on left, walk on right rules shall apply at all LRT escalators, not limited to Masjid Jamek and KL Sentral Stations only.

.

2. Deodorant-less people

.

I just dun get it people, seriously! Why do we have to stink so bad in the morning... Tak mandi pagi ke? Tak pakai deodorant ke?

.

It is acceptable should you stink at 4pm - 8pm, as you might'd been doing lots of sweaty chores in offices or sites... But in the morning, heck!!!

.

Fellow LRT-Takers, why should you spend RM400 for hot-shower installation fee if you don't use them when you should? How come that you could never notice the odour that comes from your armpits? Don't you realise that there's totally no use of spending RM500+ for nice attires should you stink real bad?

.

Come on fellow people, for other people's sake: -

.

(a) Please lah mandi pagi... Dun tell me you had mandi before went for bed last nite... That's last nite la!

.

(b) Please lah put some deodorants... No matter la whether you are a cleaner, or labour, executive or manager, do it for other people's sake... You can ask your wife or husband to smell them should you are darn proud of your body odour... But a BIG NO NO for other people yea...

.
P/s: Maybe we should get Rexona doing road shows at the LRT stations and Komuters to Klang and Sentul Stations so that these stink people can be introduced with some products called 'deodorants'... and Rexona might explore new market... hehehe... talking bout killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

.

.

3. Pole People


This is a situation where the so indifferent people hugging the pole inside the LRT or Komuter as if they wereso in love with the pole... and they think of bringing the pole home. Same goes to the people who are so selfish leaning against the pole. Most of them, if you notice are the Indonesian workers, Indian (old & young) ladies, young Chinese (both male & female) and young & old Malay ladies... They are so indifferent... So insenstitive leaving other people have to hold to nowhere.

.

People, be considerate, we know that you are tired, but please do not hug the pole, and do not lean against it too... Other people such as elder people or weaker people as well as the shorter people, they might need the pole to hold during the bumpy rides, as they cannot reach the rail hanging above their head.

.

Things like that shall be shared la... It's not your private properties and that there's no such first-come-first serve rule shall apply in this case yea!

.

P/s: They are just plainly selfish!

.

.

4. Announcer People

.

This is somewhat annoying! Hahaha... there are some people who would either: -

.

(a) Talk on their phone so loud

.

(b) Chat with their friends non-stop loudly since boarding till disembarking

.

(c) Turn on their favourite playlist of songs loudly using phone

.

Hahaha... There's no need to elaborate more, rite? I think all of us know how annoying these people could be. I have had an incident when someone who was so irked with the above (b)-type of people compaining to them to pause chatting for a while as he got tired listening to them loudly chatting since boarding the train from Padang Jawa till Kg. Dato' Harun. And guess what, they would never stop chatting should that someone didn't complain.

.

And it is not that we do not like Tamil and Hindi songs, but please lah... You do not have to play your favourite songs too loud in the commuter... you may use the earphone or just sorry, listen them at home...

.

P/s: Sometimes the group (c) people deliberately play the songs loud. If you play Michael Buble's Everything, then OK lah... hahaha... it's pretty much soothing... but to a loud and noisy tamil music... sorry lah... we are so tired in the evening after piles of office works.

Nudge: I somehow find it is interesting commuting from Cheras to Shah Alam by public transports. Start my morning journey by taking STAR LRT from Chan Sow Lin Station to Masjid Jamek Station where I interchange to PUTA LRT to KL Sentral that I gotta buy and queue for KTMB Komuter to Batu Tiga Shah Alam, I can see lots of funny and sometimes annoying truth about us, people's attitude & manners. Sad, but yes, it's colourful! Lots more to write, but save it for next time.
