My Learning Experience - Malika Temirova

My impression of the trip

On Friday, 6th of August 2010 we, DT36, had an assignment involving public transportation system. We chose the Genting Highlands for our destination. On that day we started our trip around 11:40am from Taylor`s College, which located in PJS 7/5. Our group had a problem reaching Kelana Jaya LRT Station. We missed the college bus and did not find available taxi. Later one of my group member helped us. So we went to Kelana Jaya LRT Station by car.

The second transport, which we used, was Light Rail Transit. The way was from Kelana Jaya LRT Station to KL Sentral Station.  For me it was first time when I used this type of public transport.

When we reached the KL Sentral, the bus left the station without us. My group was late less than 5 minutes. We were very upset about this situation. Next bus was only at 5pm, so waiting for 4 hours was not convenient for us. We decided to go to another station. So, we again started our way by LRT, from KL Sentral Station to Gombak LRT Station. Finally, we took the bus at 3pm. But the bus was full and some of us did not have a place to seat. Later we changed a bus.

I remember this day, when we reached the Genting Highlands, I was very tired like all of my group members and all we need was a rest.

Students took different ways to come back home. For example me, I took the taxi from Genting Highland to Subang Jaya. It was the easiest and fastest way to come back.

What can I say about our trip? We need to learn how to organize the trips; we must think more about planning the timing. Now we have experience about how important to correct planning and thinking about different situations, which can happen during a trip. My group and I felt by ourselves how organization is important for travel. Public transports are convenient and very useful for travelers in our days. After this interesting trip I learnt many useful things for my daily life. I want to say Thank You for our lecturer, Ms. Madelyn! She gave us unique opportunity for do this trip with my classmates. And now we can share with our experience with each other.

Thank You
