For this semester of college, I rarely get to return back to Ipoh, my hometown. However, I went back to Ipoh today for cousin's wedding dinner.
Woke up at 9 to shower and got ready to head out at 11. Since the bus stop is so near my apartment block, I didn't have to walk that much. I don't know if I'm lucky or what, I didn't have to wait for the bus since once I reached the bus stop, straight came the bus to jetty.
The ride to jetty took longer than expected? Reached the bus terminal 30 minutes later and had to walk all the way to the netty area which was quite tiring considering the fact that I had to carry a bag with Baker's Cottage mooncake (for Mom). But the weather was bearable so it was still okay. Waited for the ferry to arrive for 15 minutes and the ferry ride to Butterworth was 40 minutes long. I was in seasickness mode at that time (YIKES!). Thankfully did not vomit, was just a bit lightheaded which did not last that long.
Walked towards the bus terminal which was a long tedious walk. It was so far away and with all the lugagge and massive crowd, I wanted to just drop everything. Took me a while to reach the bus terminal and get my bus ticket. Had to wait till 1 for my bus. And the weather in Butterworth wasn't helping at all. The waiting area had limited fans and seats to accommodate the crowd.
When the bus arrived, first one to get on it and hurriedly rush towards my seat cause I thought someone will steal my window side seat and I would have to spend my time explaining to them that this window seat is mine according to my booking info. Luck was on my side again, no one sat beside and across my seat, SCORE! The journey along the way was kind of smooth except for the moment when we were at Kuala Kangsar and there was a sudden jam which delayed my travel time. But all was good when I touched down in Ipoh at 3.15PM, safe and sound.
Too bad that I have to go back tomorrow morning (Thanks, Monday college classes).  Can't wait to come back to Ipoh during my long semester break, but I doubt I'll do much. Probably just gonna laze around at home, something I can rarely do back in Penang.
