I apologize for the lack of updates recently. Was really tied up with work.
Driving to work today WAS. ABSOLUTELY. HORRENDOUS. Worst I've experienced in years, all thanks to the road closures in view of parade rehearsals for the Federal Territory Day. I headed out earlier today, thinking of escaping the jam and have a smooth drive to work for a change. Mana tau, I ended up arriving to the office much, much later than I normally do. Talk about making the wrong choice at the wrong time! I think my blood pressure shot up a few levels due to my inability to comprehend with the 'no-brainer road closures during peak hours' to accomodate parade rehearsals.
Sometimes I do question the purpose behind these supposingly 'patriotism-instilling-parades' which is supposed to make the rakyat feel proud of their state/country whenever they see multiple lines of individuals marching pass wearing colorful and sometimes plain weird attires. Anyway, from the view of a selfish, non-patriotic, not-so-bright individual living in KL:
parade rehearsals = road closures = traffic congestion = late for work = reduced productivity on massive scale = economy affected
If you think I am exaggerating, think of the number of people around you that was affected by the jam and multiply it with 10K. Those 'atasan' who approved the closure wouldn't know what the daily commuters are experiencing since they get escorted around, which is another reason that traffic congestion occurs. Sigh... Before I head anywhere further or deeper, I better stop here. Don't intend on spending time in any 'enclosed' locations.
Anyway, I felt that I'm getting very forgetful lately. Just yesterday, I drove to work, forgetting my office keys and notebook. Only have way through did I realize about it, jam all the way to make a U-turn and jam all the way back to office. Still, I arrived earlier than today! That's not all, when I headed out to lunch, I actually forgotten to bring my keycard and both my colleagues were in Singapore. O_o In the end, I had to request my admin to return all the way from Subang to pass me his keycard, dem paiseh weh... Seriously, I have no idea what's causing it, maybe its theconstant pressure from the girlfriend to get married incomprehensible amount of pressure from work or maybe its just lack of sleep. Somebody help/save me!!!
I was asking the girlfriend (blogging from her house currently) on what other things that should be talking about, she gave me these:
"Blog about how I got sick, and took MC for the day, but ended up eating McD and drinking cold chocolate milk, and still able to lay my wrath upon you loh"
Frankly speaking, without any sarcasm intended, I felt that even though not in the optimal state, she's still hyper and energetic. -_-"
I rest my case.
