Jack experiments what working in and traveling to KL entails. Sooner or later (sooner, more likely) we're getting displaced to KL office, seeing that the benevolent company has bought a whole building, so this Monday we took a trial run exploring the option of taking Star LRT to work.
I'm pampered. I hardly ever take public transport (unless you count airplanes). The prospect of taking public transport daily to work is something new and not at all exciting. Much as I prefer driving (ah - the personal space), I'd rather keep my blood vessels intact than drive out of USJ in the mornings.
Trashycan has outlined the available options of getting to work in KL from Subang. This is the route Jack and me tried.
7.20am leave home
7.50 reach Star LRT Bukit Jalil. Actually I didn't realize until I was at the station platform that I was actually lost. I meant to reach Star LRT Sri Petaling station. =P.
8.02 Finish U-turn, leave Jack in open-air parking (RM 1.50 per day), walk across big drain to station, zap TouchNGo and wait at platform.
8.25 Reach station Sultan Ismail.
8.26 Got scared by the rush of people hurrying out of the station. What's the emergency? All the otherwise wonderfully dressed people were rushing head forward, legs trying to desperately catch up. Like chickens running across the street hahaha.
8.27 Finish gaping at the chickens running across the road. Begin walking to office. Getting acquainted with dirty diesel-ly KL air.
8.40-ish Reach office.
Not a bad daily commute. The traveling time can be cut down quite some, since I not that familiar yet.
Not bad, leave at 7.20am daily as opposed to currently leave at 8.20am...

Malacca Jack
Jacks goes down to Malacca for the weekend, for Lou Peng's wedding.
We bunked in with Anah for this trip - Thanks Anah!
Having had a relatively tiring week, I had expected to be wasted and tired and moody by Sunday. With a KLIA trip on Friday evening, another KLIA trip on Saturday morning, after which I drove back to Subang then on to getting stuck in Sunway jam (construction, construction) in the ghastly afternoon heat and THEN drive down to Malacca... I was expecting to be tired and was a bit afraid of being bad company.
But the drive to Malacca is awesome. GRIN. Once past Seremban it is a pleasure to drive drive drive. Jack and me had a fun time cruising along on the nice road, taking in the beatiful scenery. I agree with Anah, once past Seremban the scenery turns very pretty. Having promised Car-man I won't take Jack pass 130 km/h, we kept a steady speed and it still was a beatiful beautiful drive.
Haha, plus we discovered Malacca is not that far after all.
Satay celup within reach. Woohoo.
I meantioned I expected a tiring weekend rite? I hadn't expected the place I was sleeping over at. I've been to Anah's house pre-renovation and during renovation, but the post-renovation home is - wahliao. I left the house and Malacca extremely calmed and rejuvenated - take a look at these pics to see why.
Once again, Thank you Anah!

Jack up the petrol price
This blog is running for just a year and already there were two posts on petrol price increase, a 10 sen jump on May 5th '05 and another 10 sen jump on August 4th '05
Now we have a third jump at 30 sen to 1.92 sen.
30 sen.
There's not much to say that's not already been said, no?
