I have one week holidays for Chinese New Year, it was quite a long holiday as majority of the students at my college are Chinese, we as a Muslim also got benefit from that.So, We got an opportunity to go back to our hometown. Some of my friends from other colleges or universities were sour grape with me as they merely have two or three days break.



At first, i decided not to return home as i thought it was just wasting my money even my time as it took a long journey to reach at my hometown, about seven or eight hours. It was a boring trip, sitting in the bus without doing anything, just counting the time to arrive at my place. But, when most of my friends who staying at the hostel wanted to go back home, i became confuse with my decision as no one will accompany me at the hostel. besides, if i not returned home on this holiday, my chance to go back just on may or June during the mid term break, i didn't want to regret for the decision that i have made so i bought a ticket.



In spite of my friends going back early , i went back on Sunday as i wanted to finish my homework first. I did not want to bring along my heavy physic book and also i admitted that i didn't do my works at home, a lot of things will reduce my intention to study especially the television. Our lecturers gave us a lot of assignments for Chinese New Year breaks,but we realize that it certainly was for our own good. hopefully i could finish them all on time.





i went back on Saturday night , at 5 p.m. my friend Athira and i departure from the hostel. We went to Kl Sentral together but Athira need to go to LCCT as she went back to her hometown by flight. Meanwhile i went to Putra Bus station by KTM, about 15 minutes from Kl Sentral. I reached there at 6.00 p.m but actually my bus ticket was at 9 p.m. Instead of waiting there without doing anything i decided to go to nearby shopping mall to do some window shopping.In spite of I was quite scared to go there alone , it was better to shopping compared to sit at the bus station and just watching people around me. Besides, as Chinese new year was just around the corner, so of course there were many sales and At last i bought some stuffs for myself.



At 8.30 p.m, the bus station started to become crowded. All people wanted to go back home to spend time with their family , the thing that they could rarely did,particularly a student like me. I took my luggage at the luggage -keeping place, paying for RM 3 for that, i think it was quite an expensive value, but i believe that everyone could accept it as nothing were cheap nowadays, the cost of living is increasing from day to day, all people should adapt themselves with this situation.






Then, i went to the bus to show my ticket but unfortunately the bus driver told me that the number was not in the list, he asked me to move to the other bus as there were two buses that will take the journey to Terengganu. I move there and did the same thing, i was shocked as the bus driver also told that the ticket number was not in the list . Only god knew my feeling at that time, scared, anxious and did not know what to do. Furthermore,i was the only one there, without knowing anyone else. i will cry all night if i could not return home. Some people who sitting there asked me to calm, they said that it was just a technical problem.


After waiting for a while, a person who took the responsibility in the arrangement of the tickets gave me a new ticket number , She apologize to me for the silly mistake that had occurred. I felt relief,thankful as the problem have been solved, finally i could go back safely . that night was a sad memory for me.Hopefully it will not happen again.
