Roadwork at Bukit Bintang

Clearly Bukit Bintang would never be the same anymore. Especially looking at the amount of digging they were doing around the iconic intersection between Jalan Bukit Bintang and Sultan Ismail. And it had been going on for the last couple of years, with an almost constant changing of the road layout around that particular area.

This development also had contributed to the closure of another famous landmark, the Bukit Bintang Plaza.

So, on my way to Low Yat Plaza last weekend, I went past the famous intersection again. There were still a big crowd mingling about, but the layout had changed again. The pedestrian walkway was still preserved but getting across the road could be a bit tricky.

I saw a few Mat Salleh stopping at the junction trying to get around the place. I was sure they stayed at a hotel nearby and wanted to explore the area. Not a good time for that mate!

Some heavy gear there ...I sure hope that all these distractions would pay dividend at the end of the day. There had been a lot of investment here and I hope that it would all be worth it .....

Midnight Jam

After finishing my evening rounds, I sat at my brother-in-law's room, then had a late dinner, before taking a breather at the Doctor's Lounge. Chelsea was spanking Norwich then.

After the football was done, I decided to head back to apartment. Which route should I take? The rather boring NPE with 2 toll booths, or the more relaxing drive along the Federal Highway. Shorter and usually faster past midnight. I decided to take the Federal Highway.

Bad move. They were resurfacing part of the stretch between Sunway and PJ. The two inside lanes were blocked, and the queue was horrendous even this late in the day. It took me around 40 minutes to drive what usually would take around 15 minutes on a typical Saturday night. Grrrrr!
