naik minyak

it was raining like cats and dogs when i left the office yesterday. i punched out at exactly 5:44pm. hisham 'hitched' a ride with me as both of us were going the same direction. we took the NPE route as it would be fast and furious. After the second toll heading towards pantai dalam direction, the traffic began to slow down. cars were bumper to bumper all the way up to jalan bangsar. suddenly i saw the electronic notice board saying "BANJIR DI TEROWONG RTM. SILA IKUT JALAN ALTERNATIF". fcuk!!


didn't want to be stranded (again), i decided to beat the traffic via jalan Kerinchi. Thank GOD it was clear as hell! huhu. but as soon as we managed to squeeze ourself in, there was bad traffic at jalan pantai baharu. darn!! i quickly turned left and climbed up that 'bukit' heading to bangsar. yesss!! the road was clear but the right lane was really packed and almost at a stop. pity them. but, who cares dude! i drove up until masjid bangsar and ... argghh, met with the traffic again. emm. i guess everywhere was jam packed in KL town last nite. didn't really know what was the reason? was it because of the rain? what? what??

out of the blue, md amid called telling me that 'harga minyak naik effective midnite to rm2.70'. shoot. that must be the contribution to the traffic. nways, i decided not to drive down to SOGO. parked my car near LRT PUTRA Bangsar and took the train with hisham. my journey was smooth and i reached SOGO at almost 7pm. cool. went back to Bangsar at almost 8.30pm. looked down and saw a massive jam as cars were flocking to the shell station nearby. whatever! ive filled up my tank yesterday afternoon, prior the announcement.. so i couldnt be bothered.

left bangsar and headed home. while driving i was still trying to figure out routes that do not lead to gas stations... huhu. managed to escape and arrived home safely at 9-ish. yessss!

*sighhhh....*
this minyak thingy... makes me 'naik minyak'.
