Anti-ISA protesters were having a demonstration against the act. According to the newspaper, their gathering point is at Sogo Shopping Complex and will march towards the Istana Nagara morning. As usual, I'm having my work out session at Menara Maxis today.
I saw a relaxing and peaceful environment along my LRT trip to KLCC... thinking that the demonstration must be well under controlled or has been cancelled last minutes coz it was already 11.00am. Didn't heard people talk much about the issue as well along the way. Everyone in the LRT seems more excited about the PIKOM PC fair or mega sales instead. Just another nice weekend.
Joined 3 classes back to back today.... Body Combat, Body Jam and Body Balance. Finished my work out session at around 4.00pm. So as usual, I headed towards KLCC Putra LRT station. My normal routine is to stop at Masjid Jamek Station, inter-change station to Star LRT which will be heading to Sri Petaling. At the point of stepping into the KLCC station, I heard an announcement that the train is not going to stop at Masjid Jamek Station as the illegal demonstration is still on and that area is in a total mess.
Omg.... this is the only way that I know of how to get home from KLCC. I tried to asked around but seems like lots of passengers have the same problems with me. Everyone keep asking and asking whereas the officer in charge were all busy attending them. No choice..... I have to study their route map carefully and try to look for an option where I can start from KLCC LRT station and end at Sri Petaling LRT station without stopping at the inter-change station of Masjid Jamek.
Thank God..... I found 2 option. First is to stop at KL Sentral and change to KTM heading towards Tasik Selatan and from there I can take the Star LRT back home. Second is to stop at Dang Wangi and change to Monorail at Bukit Nanas which heading towards Hang Tuah and from there again I can take the Star LRT back home. I choose the second options with a simple reason that I don't wanna bypass the Masjid Jamek station. Yes... I'm scared of this kind of riot and demonstration. I saw this thing 10 years back and this is really a terrible nightmare for me.
Along my way of LRT trip..... I saw lots of people wearing black shirts... the dress code for the issue. But I think they are not related to the mentioned activity. I can hear the helicopters circling overhead. Think I'm just too sensitive.....
When I was in the Hang Tuah inter-change station, I feel some fear there coz this are is very near city centre. Just scared that when the crowds disperse, they will proceed to this area. Luckily I manage to get into the train in few minutes.
In the train, I overheard a conversation between 2 Chinese guys saying that they just back from the Anti-ISA protest. They are so proud to be part of it. Heard that the police and FRU used tear gas and water cannons fired towards the protesters. Heard that traffic at Jalan Dang Wangi and Ampang is affected. No wonder I can see polices are all around Dang Wangi area.... If I know it earlier, I won't be using the Dang Wangi as my LRT inter-change point....
Finally, manage to reach home in peace as per schedule..... *sweat*
