Bad journey...

Recently, I went back to my hometown, Penang for 'Cheng Beng' (hopefully you know what it means). I started journey back to Penang on the 27th of March which is last Friday. I drove back with my aunt and my cousin. I started driving around 6pm. When I reached Jalan Duta, I was greeted with a massive traffic jam. I was thinking 'It's ok. I will be going on the highway in just a while and I can be speeding my way home.' But, I was proved to be wrong. I was stuck in the jam for half an hour just to pass a less than 10 km stretch. When I am on the North-South Highway, I was speeding at 120-130km/h(which is wrong!!). However, 15minutes into my journey, I was again greeted by something bad. Heavy rain!!! It is so heavy that my vision is reduced to only 2-3 meters only. So, thinking I should stop for a while, I stopped at Tanjung Malim rest area. I waited for the rain to get smaller but the rain doesn't seem to be following my wish. I waited for half an hour there and I told my aunt that we better get going or we will never reach home. I continue my journey but this time driving only 80-90km/h. When I reached somewhere before Ipoh, the rain stopped. Yeah!! Then I sped at 110-120km/h again. When I have passed the dangerous Ipoh stretch, we stopped at Sungai Perak rest area. It's really a nice place to stop. Then, after having a drink, we continue with our journey. This time, I am speeding at the speed of 130-140km/h, which is fast. The whole road from there is smooth and I reached home in around 1 hour. That is fast. Then, for my return journey, the same thing happened again. Traffic jam, rain and delays!!! I started journey at 2.30pm but I reached KL around 9 pm. Try to imagine it and you will understand. This journey got to be the most tiring journey of all. That's all for today. I will be updating more bout my life next time. Till next time!!!
