We went back to Taiping, hubby's hometown on Saturday, around 7.30 a.m. We knew that the road will be packed with cars of people going back for the CNY 'makan besar'. However, we didn't expect the jam to start right after the exit of Sungai Buluh. It was a bumper-to-bumper crawl. We reached Bukit Beruntung about 3 hours later. Why we stop here?? My darling angel has decided to 'poo' and we had to stop somewhere to clean her up. BTW, it was raining the whole way from Sg. Buluh to Bukit Tarak Untung.Hubby decided to use the old road rather than stucked in the jam again. I was very hungry at this time as I didn't have any breakfast yet. Although, there are some 'kedai mamak' in the nearby town, we couldn't stop as it was raining heavily and we wouldn't want to risk Eya getting fever as she just recovered from cold. So, we made our move to Taiping using the old road. Before that, we stopped at 7-E to buy some breads and 'air kotak' for our breakfast. As we only prepared 2 bottles of milk for Eya for the 3 hour journey and one has finished, we use the hot water for 'maggi-making machine' to make Eya another bottle of milk.From there up until Bidor, we couldn't stop for any meals as all the stalls, restaurants are not to my liking. (Who knows, ntah-ntah restoran tu from dusk till dawn ke, tak naya). At 12.30, we arrived at Tapah and had our lunch at one of the restaurants there. After the lunch, we decided to use the highway and luckily, there was no more traffic jam. We arrived at hubby's home around 4 p.m. The usual journey will take around 3 hours, which mean we should arrive 6 hours earlier at 10.30 a.m. The weird thing was my sis-in-law arrived at 1.30, a 4-hour journey from KL. But knowing her husband (the type of driver who only sees emergency lane as the normal lane and thought that the official speed limit in Malaysia is 150 km/h), I knew they will arrive earlier than us.
