Working in KL.....

Finally I got transfered to a client which is located smack in the middle of KL. Not that I have anything against the client....but it is the location of work which is a bit troublesome.

For those who do not know....KL (stands for Kuala Lumpur) is the capital of Malaysia. Its a majestic place where development has rapidly took place (big n tall buildings rising everywhere) but still you can see many lushes of greens scattered ard the areas. It is also the home to the world tallest twin tower, The Petronas Towers.

The big problem KL faces (like any other major metrpolis in the world) is heavy traffic congestion. Cars are not cheap in here as compared to other major cities, but it is too easy to get a car loan here, hence almost everyone has a car. When it come to working hours and balik rumah hours.....traffic congestion is at its peak. For those who are driving...it is very common to spend easily 3 hours on the road each day due to traffic congestion. Just imagine if we can reduce this time to an hour....I'm sure everyone is happy to get an extra 2 hours of sleep rite.

For me....luckily I ride motorbike to work hence din kena must of the jam. Took me ard 1/2 hour to cover 20 kms (imagine lah, avarage speed is 40km/j only) at peak time, which is very good compared to average 1 hour if by car. The only problem is it is really dangerous. Also if it rains....triple the danger becoz the road is slippery. Well..this is why I don't prefer to work in KL.
