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.
