Msia Trip - Journey to Kuantan [Day 0]
Ok shall start writing abt our trip now...So we set off from Larkin in JB after sitting thru a horrendous causeway jam...made it to the bus terminal with some time to spare thx to the excellent driving skills of Mei Fang's father's colleague. The bus left punctually at 8 pm & soon enough we were bumping along the night on some old road at breakneck speed. Along the way, as the bus stopped at a traffic light, there was a rickety looking gym on top of a shophse, complete with this huge muscle man posing at the window. Siti was so enthralled by the sight, she waved & even took a foto! & the muscle man waved back & flexed his muscles just for her! hahaha....
ok as the bus hurtled on to kuantan, we realized tt the driver was not going to stop for a break at all...that was just too much for hamid & boredin, whose bladders were full to the point of bursting. so our fearless leader asrie got up & asked the driver to stop for a toilet break. according to him, the driver gave him a pissed off look then continued driving. all of a sudden, he stopped the bus abruptly. ended up having a 1/2 hr break in e middle of nowhere, with no toilets arnd. yet many passengers got off to relieve their bladders! poor residents of that area probly woke up e next day to find the grass all dead.
reached kuantan bas terminal makmur at 1.30 am on sun morning as
"homeless vagabonds" (quoting hamid). yup, first we had supper at this happening 24hr Restoran, then decided to go to the nearest hotel & pretend we were guests so we could lepak for free in their lobby. we followed e lights to hotel grand continental, dragging & rolling our bags along e roads, while boredin amused us with some funny jokes. ended up taking a really roundabout route before finally arriving. well, in e end we decided we might as well book a rm there even though it was already 3am. the counter guy was nice enough to close 1 eye to e fact tt there were 6 of us to 1 rm. we sprawled arnd & found our own little spots to sleep in...day one was just beginning....
