I'm A Pig

As mentioned on my previous post, went back to Penang last Sunday night to visit my little precious. I always hated to take bus on a long journey so as usual I went back by the train. As I was a bit late to buy the ticket, all the sleeping berth had been sold out so I had to buy the second class sitting ticket instead.

When I was on my way to Penang, I was seated with a middle-aged Malay man. I was a little bit uncomfortable at first because the thought of sleeping with another man (although on separate seats) irks me a little. But in the end, I was really glad because he went and slept with his wife whose sitting on the other side and left me sitting alone (hurray!).

The nightmares started when I was on my way back to KL. I was really really upset because I has to seat with another Malays guy in his 20s. The worst part is, the whole coach is full of his gang, which makes me the only Chinese in that coach.

Part of me was annoyed while part of me was scared. I was so scared that they will steal something from my bag that I end up holding both of my bags to myself instead of throwing them up to the place where people put their bags. And as that Malays guy besides me was leaning on his back, I dare not to lean on my back because I was afraid that he would touch me. I don't want any of his body part to touch me. Eeek!

And for the first hour of my journey back home, I was so hoping that the ticket officer would come faster so that I could exchange place to the sleeping berth (if there's any empty space) only to find out that all of them had been occupid. So there I was feeling so irritated and upset because I will be stuck there for 9 hours.

Since I was left no other choice, I tucked my bagpack under my seat and hold another one with me the whole night. They were making a lot of noises by talking and laughing so loudly. Thank God I brought along my earphone and my phone's battery was fully charged. Inserted the earphone to my ear and blasted the MP3 player to maximum volume.

After like 2-3 hours, the guy besides eventually waved to me and initiated a conversation asking me where I want to go and so on. Being "friendly", I talked to him with a fake smile. After less than 10 minutes, we kept quiet and I plugged the earphone back into my ear.

I was planning to stay awake the whole night because I was really scared what they'll do to me after I fell asleep. But in the end I dozed off because I was kinda tired and I still need to go to a few hours upon reaching KL.

I woke up several times during the whole trip back because it's really uncomfortable to sleep in sitting position. And I woke up to check on the time to see how long do I have to deal with this anymore. That guy besides me leaned his head toward my side but luckily not on my shoulder or else I would have freaked out.

All the while I did know that I'm a racist person but I didn't know that I would be so racist that I did not trust any of them race. What made it worst was the fact that I was the only girl on that coach. Really scared the shit outta me.

So what I've learnt from this experience is not to buy train tickets last minute.

And to those that hates me after reading this post, don't judge, I'm sure that there's a part of racist-ness in you too.

Conclusion is, I'm a pig, a racist PIG~
