The day I was stuck in the horrendous traffic

I usually love the journey back home from work. It must be weird to some, but I actually do love to drive back during the rush hour just to have some alone time in the car - listening to the radio and just wind down.

However, I was not happy to be stuck in the massive jam for more than one and a half hour this evening. It was really REALLY bad!!! It even took me more than 10 minutes to get out of the car park, thanks to all the drivers that thought they could by-pass the back-to-crawl along Jalan Raja Chulan... shish...!

The worst thing about being stuck in a massive traffic jam like today is that I was really hungry and was looking forward for a home-cooked dinner. I was already imagining hot steaming rice with deep fried chicken marinated to perfection. yummmmsss.... Unfortunately, I was stuck in the car eating telur pindang from yesterday's kenduri and a whole packet of dried peach.

The thing that triggered me about how bad today's traffic was when the infamous traffic announcer ended the day of traffic report with "Good luck getting back home tonight!". Then the most apt song came on air (takde laa the MOST apt.. but somehow the chorus kinda summed up what I was feeling at that time)

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me.....

binx: pls pls pls no more traffic jams tomorrow....

Time for an update!

Yups.. It has been awhile since the last update. How have you been?

Things have been pretty hectic at the work front, with the boss still out of the office for over a month already. She has been busy nursing her mom at the hospital since early of February. Hence, I have been frequenting the hospital every week to update her on our current project status. Imagine us having a corporate discussion at the hospital's cafeteria, where most of the people there are either sick or visiting sick people.

I have also been busy sorting out the wedding stuffs after working hours and during the weekends. We have been going out every weekend now trying to grab all the good deals on the hantaran stuffs while the Mega Sale is still on. Penat tak hengat punya duk pusing-pusing the malls, i.e. Mid Valley, Sogo, Pavillion... Most of the hantaran for Mr Judge dah settle, just tinggal his shoes and wallet je. Mine, however, will have to wait for my friend to come back from The States. This weekend, we are going ring hunting pulak... (yeah.. no F1 @ Sepang this year).

We have also been busy scouting out for a house. A visit to the MAPEX 2008 had sent us on a surprising trip to Rawang. YES, RAWANG! We actually LOVE the house. Love the huge windows... Love the huge tub... Love the outdoor shower... Love love love the layout of the entire house. And yes, we didn't wait too long to grab a unit of our own. However, after we left the place, reality suddenly sets in. The picture of the lovely house suddenly got erased from our minds as we shared our joy of buying the house with family and friends. Everyone gave us nothing but negative comments about buying a property in Rawang. pok pek pok pek... And being the typical indecisive guy that he is, Mr Judge had called to cancel the purchase today. Sedey.... Coz now we are back to square one!

There are still lots to do. My credit card has been heavily damaged after all the shopping madness. How am I going to sustain until July?

How did all of you, married people, handled the pre-wedding stress?

Can you spot me?

What is wrong with this picture?




Have you spotted it yet?



No?
How about now?

Caaaaaaaakkk.....!


That is my traumatised cat, Ash.

Ever since the move, she had been behaving quite oddly. She'll jump whenever she hears any weird sound. Her eyes and ears are constantly alert to pick-up any sudden movements and weird sounds.

We even bought her a new collar with a bell so that we can track her whereabouts easily. The cat can really make herself disappear. Refer to the picture above, see how well she blends into her surrounding. I was seriously surprised to find her, all curled up, in between all those books yesterday. She was actually hiding from all the commotion downstairs, where everyone was trying to clear up all the mess from the move.

However, soon after, she was actively checking out the result of the cleaning up. Minah kepoh jugak kucing nieh... Habis segala ceruk dia jenguk... Nak melawat kawasan laa konon... Bukan wakil rakyat aje tau yang sibuk melawat kawasan... ;)

bimx: meeeoooowww.....
