After finishing 3 days of Hope JB's bible conference, it's rather discouraging lar to get scolded badly with a earfull by parents for not planning the holiday trip back for Hari Raya in advance, coz newspapers reported that bus tickets to the East Coast (apparently the most popular destination for the season) has been sold out 2 days ago. Was busy with my MCR and assignment last week, so no time to read newspapers lar.. anyway, when in doubt of what to do, pray lar :p
It doesn't help that it was raining cats and dogs in JB in the afternoon. Amazing that the rain stopped the moment my shepherd whom was fetching me home from Skudai arrived at the Larkin bus terminal :-)
It doesn't help that when we arrived in Larkin, there was a massive traffic jam and the place was loaded with taxis. Then out of nowhere, a car reversed out and there you go; a parking space :-)
It doesn't help that in a terminal crowded with people, you see the notice at the bus ticket counter 'East Coast tickets for Hari Raya season to Kuala Terengganu-Kota Bharu-Permatang Pasir from 26 September-9 October has been sold out.' What more, JB is not like KL which has buses leaving every hour, here it's like 2 trips in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 1-2 at night to Kuantan. Logically speaking, and also from experience, confirm gone case already (coz the same thing happened last time while in KL, and tickets were sold out long in advance). But somehow I'm thankful that I still manage to get a ticket to Kuantan; the best part is that it enabled me to leave after Sunday service (28 September, 3pm) and I even managed to buy a return ticket to come back on Saturday (4 October) so that I don't have to miss next day Sunday service :-)
