gripe

Oh, I hate Malaysian roads. Look at them, always being dug & patched … patched & dug again. If it is not the cables, it would be the pipes that they burrow. And our professional “bas-kilang” (factory bus) will eventually make more craters & pot holes out of the tar-patches - and more frustration will ensure. (this will go perpetually like a cycle)

Recently, there has been a month long road construction along the route to Emily’s workplace. This time, they are not burying anything. The plan is to elevate the road several feet higher, hence, they have to shut down 2 of the existing 4 lanes to be able to carry out the work. This, of course, has caused a massive congestion to the entire industrial zone.

Now, to make the matter worse, there are plenty of trucks that use this road. With the recent heavy downpour, the 2 lanes have turned into full of pot holes and became something like a rally route. Driving through it will be like an adventure in Paris-Dakar expedition. Some of the potholes are actually big enough to stall a small Kancil’s wheel. So, basically, the road is like, totally not roadworthy at all.

As a result of that, the commuters went ahead to find an alternative way to weave through the mayhem, and they found one - a route which requires driving through the opposite direction into a smaller lane. And the whole place is now like a warzone.

I’m now so fucking fed-up of getting stuck at that screwed up road everyday. I mean, did the authority actually analyze the traffic situation before they decide to do anything at all? Did they even think of how are they going to execute the plans to mitigate the jam and stuff? I fucking doubted that.

So, nothing good has actually happened to me lately. I have been in my solemn mood for the past 2 weeks now… and I’m finding it hard to be optimistic about anything at all.

Just hope it will all be over soon.
