Idiot Outrider!

After the long drive in this morning, I though I deserved a treat. Decided to head out for sushi after the last patient on my morning list. I was hungry anyway and the drive in this morning was horrible.

I didn't mind the queue at all. What got on my nerve was when the outriders came around with a VIP in an entourage and started telling people to push off. The policeman also got the cheeks to kick out at a kancil who could not move away due to the long jam. Such irresponsibility.

I wished that I have the number of the Policeman and tweet it off but they took a left turn out of DUKE after I left towards the NKVE toll. Such action was really uncalled for! Idiots!

Productive Monday

Monday. I was expecting really bad traffic, but it turned out to be not too bad. Maybe some of the city dwellers had decided to extend their leaves to Wednesday since it would be Hari Wilayah. I would not be surprised if some would be extending it further to next week as both Monday and Tuesday would again be public holidays.

As for me, I turned up for work extra early and finished my rounds just after 9. Did some paperwork and letters right after. Finally I decided to head home to fire off some lecture notes and had a quick lunch with Puan Anita. We then did some grocery shopping before picking up Irfan from school.

I got home in time to do some reading and preparation for my next set of lectures. Put it this way. It had been a productive morning …..

A Heavy Pelt

As I walked out towards the carpark, it started raining heavily. And it was relentless. By the time I reached the tunnel opposite Sunway Pyramid as I joined the New Pantai Expressway, the water level already started rising.

I could hardly see anything in the next 2 km and drove at about 30 km/h. It was a heavy pelt, but luckily, there were no further waterlog as the whole highway was elevated above street level. And it stopped raining by the time I reached Pantai Dalam.

BFM

"Busy Finding Money". I must admit that I am guilty of that. All those evening on calls rather than spending with the family, but ones need to make end meets however.

Came across this cabby in the usual traffic jam on my way back home. How very true!

Meeting was Over

It was finally over. Luckily, this time around, traffic was not an issue. I remembered in the last few UMNO meetings, the road was practically a gridlock, especially at around 7, as the VIP were leaving the site, all with their accompanying police escort. At least, I have not seen any of those escorts this time around. But maybe because I tended to leave for home a bit later lately.

Regular readers to the blog understood my pet hate of the outriders. The Politicians used this unnecessarily in my opinion and it should only be used when they are absolutely needed. I tended not to give way to them. For me, it was not a matter of life and death. It was sad that people tended to give way to these jokers than they do to passing ambulances.

This year, despite not being the election year, the UMNO meeting had its share of excitement, no less with the Feedlot controversy, and the fiery speech from the Women Wing Head. Great stuff.
