Back-packed & train ride 背包火车行


Today, I took KTM commuter train to Kuala Lumpur to visit my old friend David Chia and Raymond Ong. Have not been taking train for about 3 years !

I parked my car securely at our church carpark and walked 10 minutes to the train station.

The ride was smooth and comfortable .... until we reached Seputih station. Something wronged somewhere ... it remained stationary for about twenty minutes, then moving slowly to Mid-valley station.

"Turun, turun, turun, train rosak ...(get down, get down, train broke down..)" the train driver were yelling to passengers as if he was herding the sheep. Apparently we have to get down due to some mechanical fault of the train.

We boarded the next train which was rather full.

From Kuala Lumpur main station, I walked about 20 minutes to David Chia's office at Petaling Street.

We had the famous beef noodles for lunch. Later, David brought me to a tea stall to have tea and the famous curry puff of Petaling Street ...... Two bites of curry puff, one sip of tea .... such a leisure and pleasure .... plenty of catching up and fellowship.

I left at about 2:30 pm.

A wonderful day indeed for me !

大约有三年没有乘坐电动火车了。

今天早上,把车安稳的停放在教堂的停车场,走了十分钟的路程,到火车站乘搭电动火车(KTM Commuter)到吉隆坡,探访老朋友谢家强(老总)及王秀明。

火车准时的抵达,旅程也非常的舒适,直到半个小时后,抵达士布爹站,火车就停留了大约二十分钟。过后,慢慢的开行到下一站谷中城。司机就喊道:“下车,下车,下车,火车怀了。。”好像赶羊般的把乘客叫了下车。看来火车是出了状况,我们都得下车,等下一趟了。

下一趟车十分钟后到了,几乎满座,但都得挤上去。

我在吉隆坡总站下车,步行大约20分钟,到茨厂街(Petaling Street)谢家强的办公室。

我们去附近著名的牛肉面档吃午餐。过后,老总带我去后巷一间摊档喝茶,加上茨厂街道著名的咖哩角。。。吃两口咖哩角,喝一口茶,风味无穷。我们边喝边谈天,难得此乐。。。

我在下午大约两点半左右才离开。
