Three hours downpour

I got a very bad experience yesterday evening, as most other people who worked in KL city area. The 3 hours downpour afternoon caused flash flood in many areas in the city. And I got home after 2.5 hours I left office. My friend spent 3.5 hours to get home, damn, that should be enough for you to drive from KL to Johor (center Malaysia to south Malaysia, over 220 KM) in a normal day.

I can’t resist to think of quiting such a city life style, while stuck in the car. Is it worth? You may feel good to live in a city like KL for benefit of feeling “in” and easy access to lots of facilities. However, that’s always trade-off. The quality of life drop when it come to day-to-day working environment. Of course, the biggest problem would be the traffic situation. Some people could handle but discipline themselves like wake-up much earlier to go to office, staying late to skip the rush hour.

May be it’s just me. I couldn’t stand much with this, always dreaming to have a more relax working life and stay away of wasting time in traffic. Guess it’d be time to do something.

It would be a shame to miss it, though it would be a good reason to live another couple hundred years? posted by Kitty Mortland 8:51 AM

I'm finally back from my road trip across the country with Bitter Chris. ... The first stop we made was in New Orleans, which, as expected, is an extremely STRANGE city. ... Chris brought up a valid point in conjunction with the universities that is definitely worth pondering: why are most colleges situated but a few blocks from the most ghetto areas in every city? ... The city of New Orleans itself is a little crappy; I don't think I could deal with living there. ... One of the redeeming factors of the city was what Chris calls Homosexual ...
