On a KTM Commuter !

I got an invitation to attend a wedding luncheon of my old friend's eldest son at Klana Resort's Grand Ballroom in Seremban yesterday. Since we had a guest at home, I had to follow my other friend to attend this wedding. We left early at 10.30 am because my friend's son was the mcee for the wedding luncheon.

We were the first to arrive at the Grand Ballroom . The bride and groom were already there rehearsing for the walking in and going up the staircase.We settled at our Table No. 21 and then my old dormmate friend whom I had arranged to sit together came in with her friend. I could not recognise her because she had corrected her eyesight and she had a different hairstyle altogether! Anyway, her look is still the same but I too could not recognise her husband who has put on since I last met them when our children were attending their briefing to leave for Australia for studies.

All throughout the luncheon, we were non stopped chatting away and catching up with the missing tales about one another. It was really good to have met and my intentions were all fulfilled. We must really make an effort to meet our good old friends and I am happy that I had gone that far to attend this wedding.Seremban is now so near to us and to go anytime is not a fuss at all when I see the link with MidValley!

At 3.30pm ,the ceremony was over and as prearranged, my good friend and her husband sent me to the train station to take the commuter home.I was quite scared being travelling alone and being the first time on a commuter from Seremban.I hopped into the waiting commuter but it was so packed with people.I paid RM5.90 for a oneway journey from Seremban to MidValley.

The journey took me one hour and 10 minutes to arrive at MidValley station which is one floor down.The commuter stopped at every station and the first stop after Seremban is a very small town called Troli. I was glad to gain this experience on a commuter to get to know these small stops such as Labu, Nilai, Batang Benar,Bangi, UKM, Kajang, Serdang, Bandar Tasik Selatan, Salak Selatan , Siputeh before finally reaching MidValley station. I could only get my seat after three stops.

It was a comfortable journey compared to a bus journey. I have made to understand the difference between a commuter from a train. A commuter has a standing space whereas a train has available seat for everyone.All in all, I too got to see the rural sceneries along the route and have definitely become a more confident single traveller on a commuter !
