Diaryless |
Monday 26th January 2004 |
My holiday life is diaryless. Days unfold using a rubber, even unknown time.
The first business appointment for 2004 drops into my e-mail box, a request for a course in designing cyclic rosters. There is no way I can take note of this appointment, as I do not have a diary yet. What a wonderful feeling, this diarylessness. Still, being conscious of the diarylessness does flag the end of the holiday.
Taiping is the starting point for the return journey to Gouda. A taxi takes me to Kamunting, the express bus to Kuala Lumpur Puduraya, next are the LRT en monorail to KL Sentral train station.
I admire all this new infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur. The LRT, monorail and KL Sentral are all new to me. Odd, it is like KL is a unknown, new town to me. I do miss the old central station, with its white towers.
Some Malaysia Airways employees perform a dragon dance at KL Sentral. Chinese new year is approaching, the year of the monkey.
After a joyful dinner with old friends it is the KLIA express. Malaysia Airways drops me at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. Dutch railways take me to Gouda via The Hague.
I exit the station shivering without a winter coat. Brr, this winter is cold. This country should be declared uninhabitable during winter. The journey ends like it started, in a taxi. HJ is back home again, after 8 transits.
Here in Holland the diaries are sold out at most places. In a bookstore I do find a discounted pile, as the new year is too old already. The Netherlands are already diarelessless.
