Brrr, it's so cold here in the office today. Am and Wan haven't come back from Raya break yet. The boss is here, by the way. Whatever it is, I'm glad to be safely back in Kerteh after the long drive yesterday. I was quite anxious before the drive because firstly, I was thinking about the heavy traffic. Secondly, heavy rain had struck the East Coast non-stop and in some places flooding has started. It was quite a weird drive actually. We pushed off from Bidor around 10.30 in the morning. There were many cars on the highway but no traffic jams. Reached KL within 1.5 hours. Really wished we're living in KL, driving back and fro to Bidor will be such a walk in the park. But noo, we have to pushed eastwards towards Gombak and Karak highway. The weather was still good and sunny and we made good time. There were a lot of cars on the other lane, coming towards KL from the East Coast states. I tried to be extra careful and be on the lookout for people making illegal 'potong'.
Once reaching Kuantan, only then it all began. Dark clouds, rain pelting down by the buckets. But still there wasn't at any time that we came to a standstill, unlike those on the other lane. Pity them. My sister's fiancee was driving down from KT with his family at that time. Wondered what time they reached KL last night?
Anyway, we were back home safe and sound. A bit wet and tired but safe, nevertheless. Safety has become such a major thing for me now, especially road safety. It is the one thing that you spend most time in a day doing and of which is the riskiest. It's a dangerous thing, do take note of it. You can be the most careful driver in the world but someone can still drive his/her vehicle into yours. I need to limit these long distance driving because I have a family to look after now and I never, never want to be responsible for causing hurt to them in any way.
So, the plan is put into motion now, hopefully, there'll be some progress to ensure of it's implementation. Can't say much yet, I'll update them here whenever possible.
