Japan GT (no Jack)

Jack gets car-napped to Seremban while I spend the day at Sepang ogling at people ogling at Japan GT babes.

Decision Jack

Mileage: 38806 km

This morning while getting off Jack after parking him I noticed my sunglasses lying limp on the dashboard. I realised it has been ages since I last used them... Jack reaches the office as the sun is just beginning to shine and leaves office when the sun has long retired.

This sad observation just adds another pebble to the decision scale. For the past 2 months I've caught myself frequently grousing about working in KL. Since Jack complaining week to week makes a boring read, and is making me a tediously boring person, I've decided to make a decision about doing something to solve this 'problem'.

Step 1: Decide to do something [DONE]
Step 2: Decide what it is that needs to be done.

I have on hand two possible solution. Either I change address of residence, which is not too easy considering I just bought the house, or I change address of working place, which is not easy because of.. of... I like the work *choke.

Between dismantling my Ikea shelves or dismantling two-and-a-half years of work history, the choice seems obviously obvious.

Sareed Jack

Mileage: 38450 km

Jack makes a trip to Seremban for wedding saree(s) shopping.

A cousin of mine runs a home business selling selected sarees brought in direct from India. We spent 4 hours shifting through a roomful of choices, sitting comfortably on the floor enveloped in their kind hospitality.





































We left happily with our purchase of 5 sarees and 5 punjabi suits, including a wedding saree.

I LOVE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!
No jams! 45 mins to work - ON FEDERAL HIGHWAY!

Which means I'm at the office now at 7.45am. A bit too early :p

Subang-Kuantan Dash Jack

Jack makes a spur-of-the-moment trip to Kuantan.

11.00 am - Leave Subang
Journey was pleasant, not much cars on the road. Had cousin Kesv keep me company and join me in sampling the food at Temerloh rest stop (not recommended, duh).

2.45 pm - reach Kuantan
Whee! Get to spend some time with car-man. Rindu.

6.17 pm - leave Kuantan
At car-man's insistence left before the day gets dark. He wanted me to clear the Kuantan-Karak stretch before night, at least. People say the highway got 'things', but actually is just so staright and boring that bad single-car crashes happens often. Plus a lot monkeys cross road without looking first. I saw two-and-half monkey corpse on the way back.

10.01 pm - reach Subang
Smooth journey, except for a slight (45 mins) crawl before the tunnel. On the clear streches of highway I noticed no one barely went over the 120km/h. (I didn't either, I promised I wouldn't and strained my neck keeping the speed. Try driving at a slower than normal speed - you'll feel your neck straining to get ahead. Inertia maybe.)

Anyways I was quite surprised, nice roads and no hell-speeding. Was it because the cars were mostly filled with families on holidays? Or was it just the laid-back style of driving that city people cannot understand? Or was it city people but driving slower cause it's ho-li-day? Hrm...

7.5 hours spent in the car to spend 3.5 hours with car-man.
Worth it? You bet.
