May 31 2003 Happy Birthday to Me! Not! |

| |
Woke up rather late and didn't get to the train station until 11. Once there I discovered that the train for Kuala Lumpur left at 11:15. Unfortunately there was only one ticket window open and the ticket clerk was amazingly slow so I was unable to catch the train. |
