21 February   Putrajaya

Work related matters took me to Putrajaya again. This time it was in precinct 3. I thought I knew the way to Putrajaya and out. But this time it was not smooth sailing. The cab driver took me to precinct 1. Probably he had a feeling that it might not be the correct place. A few years earlier I made a similar trip but somehow the taxi driver then got me to the correct place after asking around. I thought that time has changed everything and that this particular department should be in its' rightful place which should be in precinct 1. I moved from one  huge building to another and each time the receptionist told me she is not sure about the event that I am about to attend. I had to call up my boss. Yes, it was not in precinct 1. So I called up the cab driver who brought me here. He refused to come. I had no choice but to walk out to a bus stop to catch the bus. Bus after bus after bus. Taxi after taxi after taxi. I waved and waved and waved. Even the driver does not know where is the location of the place I am heading. Finally one came. He knew where Precinct 3 is but he does not know the department I am going to. I got into the bus. I had no coins. So I gave away my RM 1 for a 50 cents ticket. I cannot use my touch go card on the Putrajaya bus. Along the way I saw passengers who got in and I knew they can give me the correct direction. I finally arrived at my destination. The department is glassed and green. My co workers and I were there for roughly two hours. Going back was smooth as my co worker is a frequent client of the cab driver. I piggy backed until LCCT before I excused myself and took the bus back to KL. I wanted to spend another night there. I was in MyHotel @ Sentral the night before. Now I changed to Summer View which is only a few walking distance further from KL Sentral, the hub of public transportation.
