of the morning crawl to work

the traffic was so so unbearable today! i thought it would be as smooth as yesterday, considering that the fasting period is over and it's still the school holidays. but noooooo, everybody decided to come out at the same time, the clouds cried, and the obstruction at the NKVE wasn't completely cleared yet.

driving out of the usj area into subang, cars were whizzing by. however, they started to slow down at the subang traffic lights. little did i know this was the beginning of a horrendous drive to work. i pressed on the odometer to reset it. when it clocked 5km, i was still in subang, and that was 1 hour after i had left the house!

there was no way i could turn back and feign sickness, and escape the nightmare that was before me. i was already halfway there, might as well go through the whole thing and pray that my boss will forgive my lateness.

so there i was, crawling along federal highway with the rest of the valley folks. it was still drizzling and many were impatient to get to work. anyways, i finally arrived at work 45 minutes late. that means i will have to stay back and replace the lost hours. wooohoo! :P
