Something Stupid

Last week i received a Volunteer Guidelines from International Animal Rescue of Indonesia. I'm so excited about it so instead of revising for final exam i went through the 34-pages manual on things that i should and should not do before i register myself at the rescue center in 2weeks time. As part of the requirement for the volunteer before they can work with other people from around the globe we have to get vaccinated against certain diseases as recommended by WHO. As Malaysia is quite a 'unique' country by itself so we do not usually compulsory to get that certain vaccination. For example, Hepatitis A and B. I can't remember whether or not i got vaccinated against those two diseases. But again, if let say i want to get vaccination against Hep B, i have to get myself checked for antibody titre. So here the story begins *what a lengthy introduction, if this is exam answer script sure my lecturer will deduct my mark for the unnecessary introduction*. So I plan to get myself checked on the next day after my paper. I had my friend of mine dropped me at the University Health Center (PKU) located somewhere near the one of the colleges. Well i did not stay anyway near the colleges, as the vet students will be placed together with students from medical faculty in 17th College, about 15minutes bus away from the main campus. So in conclusion UPM is VERY BIG! So i went to get myself checked and i can only get the result after 4working days. So, it was time for me to go back as i got nothing else to do. I stepped out of the PKU building i saw one bus coming from the opposite way and stop just across the building when i am. I saw bunch of students rushing to get onto the bus, well normal phenomena in UPM, students cramped in a bus, a bit worst than 'tin sardin'. So, i ran towards the bus without even thinking and try to get on the bus myself and competing with the students and yay, i managed to get up even i can't secure a sit. But good enough, i'm in the bus and i do not have to wait any longer for another bus which i don't know what time the next one will be. I looked around, all look very young and fresh, so i told myself freshies kot. But who cares, but somehow some of them looked at me with weird look, who cares? I don't... I played with my phone as the bus started to move. After a few minutes of ride, i noticed that the bus took a different way, but i don't dare to ask anything because me myself do not have a very good sense of direction so i thought to myself maybe it just a different way that i don't know or its just the normal way that they usually used that i don't know 'cause that the first time i used their bus. So who cares? I don't, as long as I get to my destination. As the bus went further i started to panicked as the bus went towards the highway (pass by the UPM stadium) which mean really away from the main campus (see, my sense of direction is not that bad after all). Still i refused to ask other students in the bus, but there were still weird looks. SHIT! The first thing came out quite loud as the bus make the turn into the entrance of Ladang 16, where usually i go for my ruminant rotation. HOLY SHIT! What the hell is going on here! To calm myself, i still telling myself that maybe the driver just want to drop some student at the farm and then will get back to main campus after. Ain't that a stupid of thought?! The bus stopped inside the farm and half of the group get down the bus and half still sitting there. So, with all my gut i asked one of the girl;

''Dik, lepas ni bus ni pergi mane? - Sis, where will this bus go after this?''
''Tak pergi mane-mane. Sini je la. - No where else. It'll be here''
'' Eh, tak pergi main campus ke?" - Shouldn't this bus go to the main campus?"
" Takla, ni bus khas untuk kelas kitorang" - No, this is the special bus for my class.'


Shit! I got on the wrong bus!!!!!! And on a special BUS with a group of students that are 'classed' together except ME!!! That moment i think, most of my blood was pumped up to my face *my system must be confused with what's happening* I just can't explain how i felt that point of time. Interestingly, why on earth nobody is telling me that i'm on the wrong bus, and what am i the weird stranger doing on a class-trip-bus??? Why why why???? Why you no tell me? That was the biggest joke of my life as a student so far. EPIC! So i went to the driver and asked him whether or not he will go back to the college, where i got on the bus or the main campus anytime soon. He said he will not go anywhere and will wait for the student to finish. What time that will be, 5pm?? Then, what should i do there, wait weirdly at the farm, as i am their supervisor like that. Damn it, what should i do. 2minutes later, the driver told me that he wanted to go and refill petrol, so i told him to drop me at the farm entrance and i called a friend which is kind enough to help me to pick me up at the entrance. I'm so sorry to disturb your nap time Shaqie. I'm thinking of walking back to college, but come to think of it, its quite far and very hot, 3.45pm. Thanks to this friend of mine for willingly to pick the stupid-stranger from the farm entrance.

Well from the this map, the crescent sign is the PKU, where i did my Hep B screening and I supposed to take bus to somewhere near Faculty of Food Science and Technology (North of the map) before i can get a bus to my college but that lucky day i went to you see the round about at the bottom right of the map?, just 1-2minutes in front of it is the entrance to Ladang 16, that is where my "main campus' is.

What a stupid mistake. EPIC!!!!
