I need help!

I shall start with my free trip on Rapid Penang when the provide free trips for THREE days fro 31st Jult till 2nd August 07.

I went to the Bas Hub in Weld Quay to try my ride from there to Sg Dua(USM). I took the free booklet that was distributed and flipped through to see which bus should i take. Namely U301, U303 are the buses that will pass thru sungai 2. I waited there for 15-20minutes. No sign of bus going to Sg2. written there the frequency of the bus is at the interval between 20/30mins. Disappointed, but i continued waiting for i really want to try after years of not taking a public transportation. So finally, U303 came. I hop into the bus and took my seat. Was clean and nice la.. 1st impression. Then came this old lady who asked the bus driver on whether will this bus passed Sg 2, the bus driver ignore her and say "tak tahu". What the heck??? written in the newspaper, the drivers are TRAINED and will be courteous.. but this, is a bastard, no manners driver who never did his duty well. The lady board the bus and asked a few of us whether this bus will be heading to Sg2, we told her yes.. and she took her seat. I was thinking.. this is not good. I hate it and the public transportation in Penang will not improve.

And what written in newspaper as well is the drivers WILL NOT wait till the bus is full before the y move to the next destination.(Maybe it is because this is a free ride, so why not make it full 1st) I was wrong.. they did wait at the hub for the bus to be filled before they move on. Plus 20minutes to wait for the bus in hub and plus extra 25minutes seating in the bus before the bus move. I am in Weld Quay for F***ing almost one hour. and i was relieved when the bus started moving after that.From the booklet provided, U303 was supposed to leave the Hub to Jalan Jelutong via the expressway.. so i tot i could reach faster, boy i was wrong again. THe driver had to turned into Komtar to fecth more passengers. The crowd was packed in Komtar and everyone was pushing their way up into the bus. The whole bus was sardine packed. I was geram because the driver did not follow the route as written. After much stopped and other place he went be4 following the actual route back, i was already started cursing at Rapid Penang and sweared that THIS WILL BE THE 1ST and LAST TIME I AM ON BOARD USING RAPID PENANG!!!. The journey from Weld Quay to USM, SG 2 took me 1.5hours, where by car or by other public transportation i could easily reached by 30mins time.

The reason i took Rapid Penang was because i was Impressed with Rapid KL everytime my trip down to the city centre. But R.Penang has prove me wrong with the rude bus driver as well/

Maybe others might enjoy Rapid Penang and think that their service is good but not for me. They let me down. No more public transportation. Wonder with LRT soon... will it help to solve problems in Penang??? I am wondering...

On the next issue, the Malaysia Film Festival. I attend the forum yesterday. The forum was on the challenges and trend in malaysia film nowadays. Why the heck questions regarding language being brought up. Not really related on the problems being discussed. And the panels agreed that the main problem is money matters and some other issue that will bring the glory of films in Malaysia. But other issue has to be brought up. Dissapointed though. Even the anugerah at night was a bit monotonous and boring. I wanted to attend but guess luck was not on my side as i was somewhere else. Lazy to elaborate on this anymore.

I realised that i am becoming lazier this days. Reason being that all work and assignments given are not done yet. and if i have free time, i prefer sleeping or do nothing rather than get my ass off doing more useful stuff. I am becoming a pig for being so lazy. Please help me!!!! I could not find myself and feel like running away from all problems than facing them. But i have to faced them yet i am confused.
