The Powers that be

It's Monday again, and what would one expect??? Monday blues and monday traffic. I got up from bed the same time as usual, and got out to work nearly as the same time as usual. Firstly as i travel downhill just besides Jalan Jelatek, i will ask my wifey to look at the traffic situation at Jelatek. Fair enough she said that the cars were moving. But, for the past few days, i had also tried to use the Semarak inner road (jalan dalam) to get to work and since it's nearly 8am which means that the policeman guarding the entry into the police office will be off duty, so one would expect the path to be okay. Right? Wrong!!!!


So i chose to use the Semarak road to get to work. The usual from Sri Rampai towards the IKS plus using the new shortcut to bypass the queing up to cross the road. Things were going smoothly until i chose to follow the path at the Indian kampung. Things were looking ok for the moment until all the cars stop moving. Damn, hopefull it's just temporary, but Nooo, it was near permanent. For some reason the road was jammed pretty bad. What could anyone do besides trying to "cilok" here and there. But how far can one go. The roads were really jammed up. So reached at rumah Kent at around 837am. Damn, too late for breakfast now. Put on my shoes, drink my coffee and the way we go.


But what's this, Jalan Tun Razak seems to be jammed up as well. Luckily it was moving but rather slow then usual and then the normal speeding at places that i can floor my car.

So finally, the last leg of the mission is to park at Block C entrance first, then go park the car. See, simple as that but then again, it was not the case. The truck carrying Kontena Nasional a.k.a Lori duit was blocking the way and all cars were halt. So there i was, just 4 minutes before the clock strikes 9, infront of Block D but i was not quite there yet. This is what they call so close yet so far. After a few minutes, the traffic was moving again. Parked the car at the basement and rushed towards the elevator. But then again, it was not as simly as pushing the 5th floor and arriving it straightly. It just had to stop at the m, 2, 3 floor before reaching the 5th floor. I ran like hell hitting the door glass and the system did not detect my attendance card. Waisted a few seconds. Damn. I look at the clock and it has already pass the 9 o'clock.


I kept on checking the attendance system but did not even see my name there. I was on the list of staff not in the office. Sheesh... So, currently i am not sure whether i did beat the clock or not, but i felt that i did not catch the clock on time.


So this is it, i guess if u are destined to be late today, there's nothing u can do about it. Go out the normal time, extra traffic jam. Speed to Jalan Tun Razak, the road was jammed. Drive fast at the Bukit Tunku zig zag, a makcik's Kancil infront. Speed up to 100km/h infront of the office, the lori duit is taking it's own sweet time to reverse and enter. To run up to the elevator, so many makciks stopping by at other floors. Oh well, i guess if u are destined to be late today, the powers that be has already commanded it and i guess there was nothing one could do... except go out really really early in the morning which i don't think i can do... wuuhuuu
