My Weekend.....

What week-end ? The weekend came and go before I even realise it was here ! There was only one posting !

Anyaway on Saturday too a day trip to Malacca because the last time I was there was last year's Hari Raya. The plan was to leave early and come back early ! But thing don't always work out as planned.

A day before that , my eldest daughter said that there was a last minute change and she had to be on call on the eve of departure and would only be back on Saturday morning at 9 o' clock.

But that was ok. However on Saturday motning, when she came back she looked so worn as she didnt have a chance to sleep at all.. She came in , half asleep, told me she neede a half hour sleep , and headed straight to her bedroom. We let her sleep for about a nhour. ( Apparently , we found out later that there too many cases and a 'heart-attack' case took up so much of her time---well I guess thats part and parcel of her job.)

Anyway we started out journey at about 10.30. The highway from KL to Seremban is like, errr, Jalan Raja Laut during peak hours. It was bumper to bumper --- and road hogs do not help at all ! They go at 90 km. on the fast lane !! I believe in UK you would be fined if you that. Anyway after Seremban ---it was all so clear.

You wonder where has all the traffic gone ! Seremban ? Port Dickson ?

Anyway now tht the road is clear its beginning to be fun to drive. I can't help it! Soon I locked the auto cruise at about 185 kph. I actually wanted , in a mad moment , to take a photo of the speedometer but decided against such a foolish move. ( I must say the cps engine performed as promised because this is the first long distance in this car)

Anyway made to our destination and Malacca wa so hot anyone would have thaought there was a heat wave. By 2.30pm, we were on our way back. My daughter was driving and the traffic , again ,was so heavy. It must have been the end of the school holidays.

There was even a traffic jam where cars were crawling. But just as we suspected , there was an accident. But the darndest thing is that , the accident was ojn the other southward bound road. Explaination for northward-bound traffic jam ? Easy. Our blood thirsty Malaysians had to really slow down to see if anybody dies or any limb hanging at the lamp-post or fences. Or they are trying to have a peek at the number to buy the four-digit lottery.

I guess the number of vehicles may soon out-number the number of people, if it not already is .

We arrived at 5.00pm and were so exhausted ! That explains the absence of any posting from me. Even Sunday was just a lazy hazy day .

yes.. the number of vehicles already out-number the number of people but not on the road, of course. If not who's behind the wheels? Robot?
