THE WOMEN OF MY LIFE

I know this might seemed weird especially coming from me. I'm talking about nothing other than the fact that I posted a back-to-back, two post in two days time, when in the previous post I argued just how busy and hectic my life was. Well, who cares, because I have an adventure last night and I just have to tell you.

I couldn't do it last night 'cos 1) I don't own a laptop, nor a PC, and 2) if I do own a laptop or a PC, I don't have any mean to connect to the Internet in a very reliable, stable, and happy way. Oh and maybe 3) I don't like begging my friend's to lend me their laptops since I know that 4) if I waited for another several hours like 10 to 12 hours I can go to my college and use the PC there instead.

YAAAYY for explanation of no use what-so-ever!

Anyway, let's go back to the story...

*****

Last evening, after I've posted my yesterday blog, it was pretty late. Like 7.15 PM late. I know it's not that late, but it's late for me, since I've already missed the I-don't-know-what-time bus. The bus was never on time and had clearly showed us just how well they can bend the bus schedule that we had been following since last year.

Whatever. So, I walked to Sunway Pyramid. Walking there is what you can say a breeze and happy thing to do. They had recently built a canopy walk that connect our university straight to the back door of Sunway Pyramid and the main entrance to the Sunway Lagoon (credit to my BGF who said that that entrance is in fact the main entrance. I just thought the main entrance should be huge and magnificent and filled with splashes of water, not a stupid merry-go-round).

Once inside of the Pyramid, I quickly made my mind, to not to eat here. Because, you see, if I ate there, it can easily cost me something like RM30.00, even more since I only had Carl's Jr. at the back of head and at the pit of my stomach. So I thought, you know what, I gonna run (ride a bus) straight back to casa (apartment) and eat at the cheapest place (my room) and go straight to sleep. If only I knew it wasn't that easy...

So I got to the main entrance of the Pyramid, and then I walked to the bus stop in front. There was, clearly enough, a bus, stopped right in front of it. It was a RapidKL bus, no. U62. I am not that used to riding RapidKL buses, so I went to the driver and asked him, 

Bang, pergi Subang Parade tak? 

The driver nod, and I was totally relieved. I hopped in, paid a RM1.00 and sat beside an unknown guy of an unknown nationality. Which made me realized just how my country is filled with immigrants.

The bus took off shortly after I ride it, and it started to go away. After a while, I realized something. My destination wasn't supposed to be Subang Parade, it was supposed to be The Summit. Shit. But instead of freaking out, shivering, crying, and beating the guy beside me demanding that the bus should stop right there and then, I took the pleasure to just seat and ride the bus to wherever it might take me, knowing that I only had about RM46.00, roughly.

The bus went, from Sunway Pyramid, to Subang Parade, to some highway, and then for all I know, I end up stopping at PKNS Complex in Shah Alam. I was very sure that I know the way back, but just to make sure, I called home. Sadly, my Dad and Mom was out, going somewhere. I hate them for that. Luckily, I didn't have to answer my sister's question of 'Why?', since my Honey Bee called just in time.

Yesterday, my Honey Bee celebrated her 27^th birthday. She was given a 'free call to all number' as her birthday gift from the call plan company. But who cares. She didn't called me 'cos she remembered me. She called me 'cos I said that I really don't mind her forgetting about me after calling 'all' her friends. Meaning I am not her friend. I wonder what am I. Better not be a background character.

Anyway, we talked, and I told her the whole story of my adventure. You can say that she was the first one to know my story. Although she doesn't really know how the story end out to be. Anyway, we practically had a good laugh, and it did an awesome job to calm my already numb heart.  She suggested that I took a cab and go back to Subang Jaya via the KTM. Which was also the first thing that came to my brain, and she had just reconfirmed it.

After that we talked about stupid stuffs, like our stupid ex-schoolmates, our dead ex-schoolmate (he died on the same day as her birthday), and nothing about her ex. But oh well, getting the chance to talk like that was good enough for me. I mean, since last year, I haven't seen her or talk to her for 17 minutes for 7 months now. So it was really a good time to spare, especially when you are currently lost and had no way of going back. Yet.

So I went to KFC, and spent about RM13.00 for a Zinger X-Meal. It was good, but really sad 'cos I could have spent nothing on my dinner if I took the correct bus and asked the correct question. While I was eating, I text my friend. I asked her was she busy. I don't really know why I text her, it just come out of nowhere. I mean, ultimately, I know that I could asked her to pick me up at PKNS, but at the same time I could have just text any other of my friends, preferably a guy. Yet, I still text her.

She said she was eating with her housemate at Banana (restaurant). I told her a part of my story, and continued eating, while texting her. After I was done with my dinner, my Dad called me. Finally, I thought. So I told him what happened today, and he suggested that I walked for some hundreds meter and took the same bus that brought me here 'cos eventually it will go back to Sunway Pyramid.

Since I am such a good son, so I followed his instruction. All the while still texting my friend, talking about whatnot and stuff that just made me wonder. Oh well, so I walked and I walked. I end up going nowhere. Luckily there was this uncle, old (looks like), so I went to him and asked him where is the bus station. He pointed it out specifically for me. From the point of where I was standing with him, that bus station was so far away. So I braved myself and walked all the way till I reached this open space filled with I-don't-know-what.

When I reached there, I got a message from my friend. I read the message and I felt so relieved that I actually text her, and not some other guy (NO!, it's not 'cos I might get my ass screwed if I asked some other guy! Gosh just what are you thinking?!). Her message sounded something like

Eh, kalau kau nak, aku boleh ambil kau dekat PKNS tu. Tapi kau kene tunggu sikit la, boleh?

I've never felt so relieved, knowing that I finally scored my ride back and that I don't have to worry about where the bus was going anymore 'cos I know this 'bus' is so going straight to casa. So I quickly replied saying that I'll definitely buy her a cake from Secret Recipe. Just because there was a freaking Secret Recipe cafe over the road. So I bought her her cake, Chocolate Indulgence to be exact, just because that was easily the tallest cake in the display and I know it would definitely be worth of my RM6.90.

But that was after I went into the SACC mall and walked around a bit, seeing what is the whole idea of shopping in SACC Mall was supposed to be. Turned out shopping there was like shopping in a barren land. They got nothing! Of course they have stuffs and whatnot, but nah, if I was to shop there, I'd rather just buy a balloon. A balloon, nothing more. Probably another Chocolate Indulgence, maybe the whole cake. That would definitely be nice.

So I waited for my friend, in front of the PKNS Complex. The shop lots in the complex was already closed, seems like they didn't open up until ten after all. I thought every freaking shops in mall or complexes closed at ten. Well, whatever. Anyway, I was sitting beside the road, on some decoration thingy that now is used as a stool, I realized that my phone was left with a single bar worth of battery. A freaking single bar. Which made me so damn worried. But who cares. After waiting so long, my friend finally came around.

I can easily recognize her car, what's more the road is clear, not too packed with cars, and the night is dark enough. I can also see three other figures in her car. Which I know, is also my other friends. I guessed she had to bring her companies, which I don't really mind actually. So I bravely crossed the road, a smile plastered to my face, so wide that I actually realized I didn't forced myself to smile that wide. Maybe I was just too relieved.

You can say that I had a very safe ride back home to casa after I slammed the car's door shut.

Morale of the story? Well, well, well. Clearly, make up your mind before asking something. Don't go to someone, feeling all inferior, speaking just whatever that you felt like speaking. I admit that I actually am not used to ride the RapidKL buses and that made me nervous and was exactly the reason why I blurted out the wrong place.

Note to self: RapidKL buses eat rabbits, not humans.

I've also learned another thing. In my life, especially last night, there was a whole lot of woman involved ad just how amazed I am knowing that I have all these women around me.

When I was lost, I called my home,  a woman answered the phone. She was my sister.

When I really don't know what to tell my sister, a woman called me. It was also her birthday. She was my best friend, a friend that I will have for the rest of my life.

When I was already calmed, a woman called me. She was my Mom, worried about me.

When I was lost again in conclusion, a woman came to rescue me. She was my friend. But I guessed we're ought to be best friends too.

When I was at the verge of freaking out thanks to my phone, a woman text me. She said my friend was driving and told me not to cry. I wasn't. I was just freaking out.

When I finally saw my friend's car, I saw a bunch of woman in there, all came to rescue me. Women whom I called friends. Women who was there for me, although I know they were initially there to laugh at me. I don't care, nor do I mind. They've done me a favour. If laugh at is all I have to face, I'd rather give them more of it.

These are all the women in my life. At least some of them. I owe them big time for last night. I'd repay you women, by promising that I will not forget that night, nor will I ever forget the universal truth. When you are in a deep shit, don't always trust your same-sex companion. They will not always tell you the truth. Of course they might lead you to it, but it will either be to far to reach, or maybe it will just be a little too much for you in the end.

If you have a choice, try asking help from your female friends for a change. I mean, of course unless if you have like a 'bad boy' reputation to keep, then go ahead and just keep trusting your bro's. Sometimes, these girls can't really shut their mouth, who cares, 'cos what I believe is that neither can the boys. At least I know that they can take me safely to MY bed, and even with some condolences and companion along the way. Way to go, girls. Or should I say women...
