Massive Jam Last Saturday

Yea.. yea... I know it's not news.... everyone had to go through that ordeal the minute they leave home.

Hubby & I initially hoped tht we can stay home & hole ourselves in PD to avoid the jam, but his boss is throwing a party for his baby's full moon celebration. Worse, it's right in Bukit Pantai, so we have to really "redah" all the "hot-spots" in KL...

Since the party starts from 4pm right to the evening, we thought we'll leave Cheras at 4pm. The crowd at the Istana should have dispersed by then... Boy were we wrong...

We left Cheras close to 4pm. It was smooth sailing till somewhere in front of UE3, then the real jam starts. We managed to reach Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka & thinking that the Istana road should be open by now, we tried to take the road to Istana, only to find out that it was sealed. We had to make a u-turn at Sg Besi & come back to the main road towards Chinese Assembly hall & hope to hit Federal Highway from there. We drove all the way there only to find that it was sealed as well. We had to make a u-turn & enter Petaling Street. At that time it was nearing 6pm. Hubby was boiling mad by that time & cursing all the police that were standing around guarding the blocked roads.

We finally took a road towards Brickfields & cut into Bangsar. Finally we get to cut into Bukit Pantai via Lucky Garden near Bangsar Village. By the time we arrived, it was nearly 7pm! Wah... damn tiring man....
