At last, 6 o'clock, time to grab my bag and go to Malaysia. After a long day's work, I hurriedly took a bus and then an MRT to Nicholl Highway. My strides were long and I walked as fast as I could to get to Golden Mile Tower. I didn't had the ticket yet and I didn't know that it isn't like riding a regular bus that you ride then you pay. I looked for a place to buy the ticket from. I ran here and there, yet they said all were sold out and next bus would leave at 10:00pm or later.After 5 travel offices, I found this agency who sold me the ticket going to Kuala Lumpur from the bus company Konsortium . I felt so relieved that I was able to catch the bus scheduled at 7:00pm because when I checked the time it was already 7:00pm.
I sat quietly inside the double-decker bus. The seats were nice and comfy.I was nervous and excited because it was indeed my first time to go out of Singapore. That time I realized God guides me wherever I go because He sent an angel to guide me in that journey. She called her self Shirley. She was pleasant and friendly.She patiently answered all my questions about everything regarding Malaysia. She was with me all through out.
The first stop was at the Singaporean Immigraton after an hour and after a few minutes at the Malaysian Immigration. Then a stop-over at Lucky Garden, Johor Bahru for the passengers to eat, pee refresh and buy some souvenirs.
I didn't eat anything because I just finished munching some cookies and drinking iced tea when the bus stopped and the driver announced that we can go down and take a 30-minute break. Instead of staying in the bus, I accompanied Shirley in buying something to eat. That time I was intrigued and I wanted to see the place as well. There was nothing much inside.just few shops selling noodles, sandwiches, drinks and other snack. There was also a small grocery store and a loading station inside.
After the break, we continued the journey. I was not able to sleep during the trip. Maybe because I was busy reading the green signages indicating how far we were from KL. Maybe I could not bear my excitement because I will be reunited with my love after a long time. Maybe I was occupied thinking about that I see on the road (actually nothing to see much, just the trees and the road itself).
I looked at Shirley. She was sleeping (with her glasses on). But everytime I had the chance, I asked her if it was still far. She giggled and told me that maybe I missed my boyfriend so much that I asked her the question every ten minutes.
After almost four hours, we arrived safely in Ancasa Hotel which was the bus' last stop. Shirley said she and her boyfriend wouldn't leave me not until my boyfriend was there. I thanked her so much for being my guide and I thanked God for her. She was really an angel.
Finally, the long wait was over. I saw my boyfriend together with his friends who went with him to fetch me. I hugged my honeybee and then I know the long travel is all worth it.
