Train Ride...


Sitting in the commuter and wishing that I have a laptop with me. I have to be content with the old skool notebook. I guessed that’s where the whole laptop idea came about. A tool that is light and portable where you can pen down all your ideas and thoughts :)

I’ve been observing her the minute she steps off from the elevator. Thinking to myself how stylish she looks and what nice pair of shoes she has. She’s wearing this light gray trouser with white blouse and carrying a brown suede handbag. As I sat next to her I noticed that she’s wearing a Dior watch, carrying a Nine West handbag & her shoes is the shoes that I’ve been eyeing in Clarks the other day. Have you ever caught yourself noticing all these things about people or is it just me? Noticing all the trivial thing about people? Does that make me a materialistic person? I’m not sure. These are one of the things that I missed when taking the commuter, looking at people and wondering what they’re thinking (apart from B.O. of people coming back from the office and waiting endlessly for the train to come ;) ). While I’m writing away my thoughts in my “notebook” I was thinking maybe some of the people in the train is thinking “What the heck the girl writing in her notebook with a pink color pen. Why don’t she get a laptop like everyone else in the world?” or they don't noticed at all, so caught up in their own thoughts :)

Some are calling they’re loved ones to informed that they’re late yet again. Some are just talking to friend while taking the long journey back to whatever their destination. As for me how i wished i cud call someone or sms someone but i left my phone at the office. after leaving my wallet in the office yesterday ahaksss.. becoming so absent minded :).. old age is catching up to me ehehe... 2 person is wearing their headphones. wonder what song they're listening too.. top 40 or oldies.. chinese or english.. ahaksss..mcm suka jaga tepi kain org kan.. but the train moves so slow and my journey is still so long...

a couple of kids are studying for their exams.. saw them reading a PMR revision book..gosh it's only march and they started studying already !!! no wonder the number of students getting straight A's is getting more each year.. remembering when i was taking PMR totally study at the last minute.. and my mum brought me a mug of Nescafe all the days that i stayed up late.. thanks mum :).. some just got back from movies and talking loudly and laughing happily.. like they own the train ahaksss.. but it's a free country and there is no rules saying u can't laugh out loud in the train.. so enjoy kids while u still can :)...

best part of taking the train is watching ppl sleep ahaksss.. there are ppl sleeping as straight as a ramrod (wonder how they do that :) ) and some just lentok abis .. best2.. i've done my shares of taking a nap in the train ;)... if u don't missed your stop its a nap but if u missed your stop its dead man sleep ahaksss.. i missed my stopped twice before :).. deep and restful sleep.. i'm one of those ppl who can sleep anywhere ehehe.. even in a rocking boat.. so can't say much about sleeping in the train.. the movement of the train not so smooth on the tracks is like you're a baby rocking in the cradle ehehe.. so syiok.. especially at 9pm and u're dead tired from work.. heaven on earth !!!

another habit of mine when i'm taking the train is reading ppl books/magazine ahaksss..a really bad habit.. the stylish lady next to me is reading "New Moon".. there's a character name Charlie who can fly, Bella and Jacob.. this is one of the reason why i need my phone or a book when i'm in the train or else i'll start reading someone elses book :).. can't remember how many books i finished while waiting for the train or in the train.. i missed that. now that i'm driving to work the only time i can read is during weekends or before i go to sleep... which i can only read about half a page ehehe :D...

kids are screaming..some are crying.. maybe too tired after a whole day of shopping trip or a long journey.. the clock is 9pm and it's their sleeping time.. the sounds of their cries is deafening.. i wish their parents cud do something about it :).. but that's just me.. i need to handle just myself.. wonder what i'll do if i'm in their situation.. tak tau lah maybe just the same as them.. ignore jer.. tak larat nak ckp dah kot ehehe.. kesian gak lah...

conversations is flying all over the train.. some in english, malay, chinese and indonesian.. feels like i'm in an international train and not just heading home :).. at other times there will be bangladesh or korean or whatever language there is in the world.. and here i am just sitting and talking in my thoughts.. busy observing :).. and the clock ticks away...

wow i wrote all this in the space of 20 mins ehehe.. guessed my 200 words per day quota is fulfilled or is it more :) ahaksss.. if u have read up to this line thank u very very much :)... reached my destination and it's time to go home...
