Yesterday, Nov, 4 2008 Me and Nashrul were doin something challenging in our life. Want to know what is it? Both of us went to Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia in Melaka. Hurm the story begin with…
Before we go, Nashrul ask me to follow him to register his passport for next vacation, so as far as i’m free i’ll follow… Then in the morning about 11 we start our journey by walking to the UiTM bus stop. Then waiting for the bus about 1 hour, then the bus come at 12 something, then after arrive at Alor Gajah we went to Jabatan Pendaftaran Malaysia.
Hard to believe, for the first time since i came here, this is the first time for me to see JPN in Alor Gajah. And i’m shock because the place is actually behind the KFC restaurant. And to enter that place is actually not like we want to go to the office, but to the k-box using then 174cm width hole to enter the office and the office have 1 camera with 3.2mpx to capture image for Malaysian Identification and have 2 counters. Hurm when we arrive there, we ask on how to solve our problem, so the person at the counter said, we need to go to Jabatan Imigresen Melaka in Ayer Keroh… After listen to that woman, we rush to Alor Gajah Bus Station to wait for Tye Lye Bus to go to MC and of course to take another bus to go to Ayer Keroh or Jalan Negeri near MITC to go to JAbatan Imigresen.
Waiting for the bus like hell!, 30 minutes after that, the bus come, and the cost to MC is already RM3. For your information, i’ve ask a person, 24 years old about the bus services. He said that, tye lye bus operate since he was small and this is the bus for people to go somewhere because Melaka is small so no need for too many bus besides Alor Gajah actually “Kampung” so no need extra bus for transportation, they will focus for urban area such as Ayer Keroh for that service. My ears color turn to red at that time u know because of that impossible reason.
Never mind, after about 1 hour we arrive at MC, at 2.15 pm. Hurm then we ask for the bus to go there, luckily an uncle said the bus will arrive soon, SKA bus. the bus will take us to imigresen area. Thank god!. But the soon is actually about 1 hour and 15 minutes. about 3.30pm move form MC to Jabatan Imigresen. Then I ask the driver, when should i press the bell to stop, I don’t really know about that place actually, but the driver said ” aiyo, lu cakap nak pg ke Imigresen, nnt sampai imigresen lu tekan la, nak pg mana pun tak tau” suddenly makcik at the back say something about us, but we just silent. we not Melaka People, we study here btw… try to be nice WAHAI ORANG MELAKA. We don’t know, that why we ask, if we know everything we just silent ok!.
Then when we arrive at that place, suddenly a guy press the bell (button) then he said, Imigresen? then he suddenly out of the bus because he also want to go there… Then we I go to him and ask, if after this, we want to go back, can we wait for the bus here, then he said, ok. when ew arrive there is about 4. but thank god the office close at 5.30pm and the process to do that is actually about 1 hour. Then we fill the form, then just one space we didn’t know and try to ask the person at the counter, suddently she said ” ni perlukan pengesahan lagi ni, dan kalau nak buat apa apa, sila datang awal sebab kalau buat hari ni, tak boleh ambil hari ini sebab lepas 3.30 petang dah. Kenapa datang lambat sangat? pejabat buka puul 8.30 kalau nak dalam satu hari, kena datang awal, weekend pun kami buka tapi sampai pukul satu.” I think i want to blow her away from that counter actually. we’re not from melaka plus ayer keroh. We’re from Alor Gajah and live in Alor Star ok, and we use bus service to go there…. ggggrrrrhhhh!
Btw the place is very nice… im not lying…
So far, our journey seems empty, nothing actually. Then about 4.45pm we out from that building adn waiting for the bus, but the bus isn’t appears and 30 minutes after that Nashrul ask me to walk if we meet the bus, then we go ok. Then we walk about 6 to 7 km from that place till penjara (I don’t know the name of that place). Suddenly we meet Salira Bus… then we go to MC laa using that bus.
After that we breakfast, lunch and tea at the same time at 6.18pm at MC.D. Then we wait for Mara Liner bus to Alor Gajah, and arrive at Alor Gajah at 7.09pm ok. Then we wait for Alor Gajah bus to UiTM campus, but till 7.30pm the bus still missing (hahaah) hurm then we go for taxi…. RM10 to UiTM ok…. bloody hell! then the driver ask me, how many years left in uitm, i said next year in april i will finish my study here, the suddenly the driver said to me ” hurm dah dekat 3 tahun dah kat uitm, takkan tak tau bas alor gajah ni macam mana? bas paling lewat 6.30 sahaja, malam nmacam ni bukan ada bus. Dok kampus takkan tak pernah kuar naik bus” aiyo…. please laa sir, im not using the bus surveyer or frequent user. but i do ask for pakcik mara liner, when is the last bus, he said at 8.. but who knows, the sytem still unstable like Macintosh computer… gggrrr! after that we arrive at campus, and get rest..
Thats all from me about our journey
