Train Tanker Crash: Thank You Twitter!

Hanya kerana berita ini, saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Twitter

dan juga Mark Zuckerberg for inventing Facebook.

1. Twitter menyampaikan berita dengan cukup pantas. If you blur, just tweet it, someone will reply it to you. Contoh : I tengok timeline saja, so I know what's going on di Petagas yesterday.

2. Twitter adalah rumours spreader paling pantas. Tapi tidak boleh dipercayai sangat. Contoh : di beritakan 18 kematian, but tv3 kata cuma kecederaan. Syukur Alhamdullilah.

3. Twitter bagi informasi yang berguna dengan cepat tanpa perlu google-ed. Contoh : via @KKCity saya dapat tahu jalan mana jam dan perlu di elakkan. Immediate gave me direction to go.

I was driving home alone in hujan kuat (dan kilat lagi) yesterday. I am so freaking nervous because setiap hari that was my route, where the incident took place. Having to change my route ikut Likas-Damai-Lido-Penampang- Jalan Ramayah-Servay Putatan punya jalan memang menakutkan sebab saya tidak biasa laluan itu pada waktu malam, berseorangan pula =.=

 

 

Saya stuck di Penampang for an hour, masa tu macam-macam di fikiran, 'is everybody safe?'. I bet I must know someone on the train. You see, some people in Putatan, Kinarut, Kawang and Papar really depend on the train for transport. Sepanjang jalan saya berdoa. Semoga semuanya selamat. Walau saya sendiri memandu with shaky hand and feet. I myself, wonder If I can get through this.

 

 

Thanks to you, twitter user.

When I drive alone in heavy rain and dark night,

on my not-so-normal-route,

clueless of what's exactly going on out there,

you guys on tweet are being really helpful T_T

 

 

Nampak Servay Putatan baru gementar hilang.

'Now I'm in my familiar route. Tapi bagaimana dengan nasib orang di train.'

'Are they survive?' Buka timeline, few killed.

Sepanjang jalan saya baca AlFatihah.

 

 

Sampai rumah, hugged husband, took shower, and pray for everybody's safety.

I could be there too. On the train. On the place. =.=

 

 

This is serious. Someone could have died last night.

Not just because the accident, but heart-attack.

Thank you, God. I can't imagine this happen to our hometown.

Terima kasih Allah. Semua selamat.

PS: First came across my mind adalah Ieda and Adeq's Little Sister-Baby. Sebab mereka pengguna tegar keretapi.

PS2: #PrayforKK adalah top trending semalam. Paling lucu; 'KK is Kota Kinabalu. No need to pray for Kim Kardashian. She is fine.' Hahaha Pagi neh di Ohbulan, Kim and Kris is getting divorced.

PS3: KK tiba tiba jadi famous. Even hotfm buat hot chat for this. Now, our beautiful city is well-known.

PS4: Okay aku bias. Memang I'm on JKNS side. First: It's illegal crossing, cross on your own risk sign was there. Dua, the train akan hon dengan sangat kuat bila something irregular on its route. Train sejak azali memang satu itu saja jalan dia. Kalau semua jalan keretapi di pagar, there will be no Jalan Lintas-Petagas, rasanya. Tiga, my uncle and my cousin works there, my late grandpa juga train driver once upon a time (according to my mum' story when I was little), so my bias-ity is undeniable and unavoidable. Plus, tanker selalu ikut bersesak di jem masa petang. Siapa tak panas hati? Tanker macam bom jangka tau. Enforce a rule; tanker should only travel on midnight.

PS5: Follow @kkcity on twitter, pls.
